5 EVM Operation
The EVM can be evaluated using two options. The first option involves using the SCB and GUI. The second
option involves using the TMAG5328EVM without the SCB and GUI so that the TMAG5328EVM operates as
a stand-alone board. For both of these options, the Head-on module (
) can be used to facilitate
magnetic testing.
5.1 Evaluation With SCB and GUI
To use the EVM with the included SCB, connect the EVM as shown in

5.1.1 Driver Installation
Before using the SCB, download and install this driver:
http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sbac253
per computer. Unzip the folder and run the .exe file with administrator privileges.
5.1.2 Firmware
The firmware comes pre-installed on the SCB. The latest version of the firmware can be downloaded from: . It
can also be downloaded onto the SCB from the GUI.
5.1.2.1 Updating Firmware on SCB
If the firmware gets corrupted or must be manually reinstalled for any reason, follow these steps to reinstall the
firmware.
1. Configure the MCU on the SCB to be in Device Firmware Update (DFU) Mode. DFU mode can be entered
manually through one of the following methods while the SCB is powered on:
a. Through software:
• Send the command "bsl" on the SCB's USB Serial (COM) port.
b. Though hardware (with the EVM removed):
• Short the two test points labeled
DFU
) with a pair of tweezers (or wire) while pressing
the RESET button. If this is done correctly, LED D1 on the SCB should turn OFF while LED D5 (the
power LED) is still ON. If LED D1 is still ON, the GUI firmware is still active and the device has not
entered DFU mode.
