5.2 Software Installation

The EVM is controlled through a graphical user interface (GUI) software. The software communicates with the EVM through an available USB port. The minimum hardware requirements for the EVM software are:

  • IBM PC-compatible computer running a Microsoft Windows® XP or newer operating system
  • Available USB port
  • Mouse

The latest downloadable software is available at http://www.ti.com/tool/TPS65653Q1EVM. Download the zip file onto your local hard drive, and then unzip this folder. Connect the EVM to the PC with the USB cable. Refer to Figure 1.

  1. With the power supply disconnected from the EVM unit, open the un-zipped folder and click on the TPS65653_installer.exe file to start the software.
  2. On the evaluation software window bottom left corner, you should see text “Hardware connected”. Refer to Figure 2.
