ADS8860EVM-PDK Overview
The ADS8860EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM system specifications. The EVM
by itself has no microprocessor and cannot run software. Thus, the EVM is available as part of the
ADS8860EVM-PDK kit that combines the ADS8860EVM as a daughter board with the digital signal
processor (DSP)-based MMB0 motherboard using ADCPro™ software as a graphical user interface (GUI).
ADCPro software collects, records, and analyzes data from ADC evaluation boards. ADCPro also runs
different plug-in programs to easily expand testing and data collection capabilities. In combination with the
ADS8860EVM plug-in program, ADCPro offers a comprehensive evaluation environment for the
ADS8860. For more details on ADCPro, see the
