PDK Kit Setup

Power Up ADS8339EVM-PDK
When the ADS8339EVM-PDK kit is configured, power can be applied to the MMB0. This power comes
from a wall supply that delivers 6 VDC to the MMB0 through J2 on the MMB0 motherboard. The wall
power supply adapter is not included with this PDK. TI recommends using an external power-supply
adapter that complies with the applicable regional safety standards (such as UL, CSA, VDE, PSE, and so
forth). The functional requirements of the power-supply adapter are as follows:
•
Nom output voltage: 5.6 VDC to 15 VDC
•
Current capacity: 500 mA or more
•
Uses a 2.5-mm center positive barrel connector for mating with the on-board power jack
After the power supply is connected, four green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the bottom right-hand
corner of the MMB0 motherboard light up. If these LEDs do not light up, disconnect the power and verify
that J12 is closed on the MMB0 motherboard.

PDK Kit Operation
The evaluation software is based on ADCPro. This program operates with a variety of plug-ins. To use
ADCPro, load an EVM plug-in and a test plug-in (select these plug-ins from the EVM and test menus,
respectively). To unload a plug-in, select the unload option from the corresponding menu.
The following sections describe how to use ADCPro and the ADS8339EVM plug-in to acquire data.

About MMB0
The MMB0 is a modular EVM system motherboard. The MMB0 provides the USB interface between the
PC and the ADS8339EVM. The MMB0 is designed around the
, a DSP with an onboard
USB interface from Texas Instruments. The MMB0 also has 16 MB of SDRAM installed.
The MMB0 is not sold as a DSP development board, and is not available separately. TI cannot offer
support for the MMB0 except as part of an EVM kit. For schematics or other information about the MMB0,
contact Texas Instruments.

Load ADS8339EVM-PDK Plug-In
Step 1.
Make sure the PDK kit is configured and powered up, as explained in
. Then, press
the
Reset
button on the MMB0 (in the top right-hand corner) one time to clear the board
memory.
Step 2.
Connect the MMB0 to a PC using the USB cable provided with the kit.
Step 3.
Start ADCPro from the Windows
Start
menu.
Step 4.
Load the ADS8339EVM plug-in from the ADCPro
EVM
drop-down menu, as shown in
. Note that only one EVM plug-in can be loaded at a time. If a different plug-in is
selected, the previous plug-in is unloaded and the MMB0 restarted.
Figure 10. Loading EVM Plug-In
Step 5.
When the plug-in is loaded, the plug-in searches for the board. A series of messages in the
status area indicates this action, eventually displaying
Connected to EVM
.
The plug-in is now loaded and ready to function with the ADS8339EVM.
