The TSW14J59EVM has an
Xilinx® Kintex® UltraScale® XCKU5P device that
requires firmware to be downloaded every time power is cycled to operate if the
on-board EEPROM's are not programmed. The firmware files needed are special .bin or
.bit formatted files that are provided with the software package. The files used by
the GUI reside in the directory called
C:\Program
Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\14J59 Details\Firmware. Follow
the steps below:
For information regarding the use of the TSW14J59EVM with a TI ADC, DAC or AFE JESD204C_B serial interface EVM, consult the High-Speed Data Converter Pro GUI User's Guide and the individual EVM User’s Guide, available on www.ti.com.
If the message appears as shown in c, then verify that all jumpers are in the default position and the power and USB status LEDs are illuminated. If the 12-V power status LED is off, then there can be a problem with the external power supply. Make sure this supply can source at least 3 A of current. If the available current is too low, then this can prevent the firmware from downloading. Unplug and re-install the USB connectors and try to connect to the board. If this fails, then cycle the power switch to re-initialize the power-up sequencer to try to correct this problem.
