3.2.1 Downloading USB2ANY Firmware (For USB2ANY Explorer or TXE81XXEVM-GUI)

Downloading USB2ANY Firmware version 2.8.2.0 or higher is required for USB2ANY Explorer and TXE81XXEVM-GUI to work.

Note: The TXE81XXEVM is already flashed from the factory with the latest firmware version (2.8.2.0). If the EVM is not connecting to the USB2ANY Explorer, or is having connection issues with the full function GUI, then follow these steps to reflash the device:

To check if the EVM has the updated firmware, follow steps 1-4 below.

  1. Download USB2ANY Explorer Software (SLVC695) from ti.com.
  2. Run "USB2ANY Explorer-2.8.2.0 Setup" Application File and install the explorer GUI.
  3. Once the install is complete, open USB2ANY Explorer.
  4. The USB2ANY Explorer GUI shows the type, serial #, and firmware version underneath the "Adapter Connection" in the GUI. The firmware version reads 2.8.2.0. If the "Firmware Version" shows 2.8.2.0, then the board is ready for use for either USB2ANY Explorer GUI or TXE81XXEVM GUI use. If it does not, follow step 5.

  5. Disconnect the TXE81XXEVM from the computer.
  6. Short jumper J18 on the bottom side of the EVM. This sets up the USB2ANY circuit into programming mode.

  7. Re-connect the EVM.
  8. Remove jumper on J18.
  9. Select "Open Device" in the USB2ANY Explorer GUI and select "Yes".
    TXE81XXEVM Select "Yes" Figure 3-3 Select "Yes"
  10. Select "Update Firmware".
    TXE81XXEVM Select "Update Firmware" Figure 3-4 Select "Update Firmware"
  11. Firmware is flashed when the final message says "Done!"
    TXE81XXEVM Firmware is Updated Successfully When the Console says "Done!" Figure 3-5 Firmware is Updated Successfully When the Console says "Done!"
  12. The Firmware Version underneath "Adapter Connection" now reads 2.8.2.0. The USB2ANY circuit on the bottom side of the EVM is now correctly flashed and ready for use in the USB2ANY Explorer GUI or TXE81XXEVM GUI.
