Downloading Firmware
The TSW14J57EVM has an Intel
®
PSG Arria
®
10 device that requires firmware to be downloaded every
time power is cycled to operate. The firmware files needed are special .rbf formatted files that are provided
with the software package. The files used by the GUI currently reside in the directory called C:\Program
Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\14J57 Details\Firmware.
To load a firmware, after the GUI has established connection, click the “Select ADC” window in the top left
of the GUI and select the device to evaluate, for example, ADC34J45_LMF_422, as shown in
.
The GUI prompts the user to update the firmware for the ADC. Click "Yes”. The GUI will display the
message "Downloading Firmware, Please Wait". The software now loads the firmware from the PC to the
FPGA, a process that takes about 3 seconds. Once completed, the GUI reports an Interface Type in the
lower right corner and LEDs D1, D3, D5-D9 should all turn green, as seen in
. When data is
captured LED D4 will start to blink if an ADC is connected; otherwise, LED D2 will blink if a DAC is
connected.
