This jumper is used to program the EEPROM, U1, at assembly. This jumper must be shorted to connect
the TUSB3410 to the EEPROM for normal operation.
This switch connects and disconnects input power from the EVM.
If installing from a CD, insert the CD and run Setup.exe. Follow all the prompts to allow the software to be
installed.
If installing from the TI Web site, go to the URL

Click on the install button; your PC gives you a security warning and asks if you want to install this
application. Select Install to proceed.
With both types of installation, the software attempts to install the Microsoft Dot Net Framework 2.0 (if it is
not already installed). This framework is required for the software to run.
After installation, the software automatically runs.
During future use of the software, it may prompt you to install a new version if it becomes available on the
web.
Note:
VeriSign™ code signing is used to prevent any malicious code from changing this
application. If at any time in the future the binaries are modified, the code no longer attempts
to run.
Ensure that S1 is in the OFF position.
Ensure that the shorting shunt is installed on JP1. The default for normal EVM operation is to short pins 2
and 3 together.
Ensure that the shorting shunts are installed on JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, and JP6.
Connect the LED board (HPA358) to the LED Driver board (HPA274).
Connect the DSP board (TMDSCNCD2808) to the LED Driver board (HPA274). Ensure the DSP board is
fully seated in J4 with the tabs positioned to lock the DSP board in place.
Connect the LED Driver board to the host computer using the supplied USB cable.
Using either the J6 and J7 input power connectors or the J8 power jack connector, connect an input
voltage supply to the TLC5944EVM board. The TLC5944 requires an input voltage between 5 V and 10 V.
The input supply must be capable of supplying at least 1.5 A. Note that some ac-to-dc plug-in adapters do
not provide clean power. Ensure that the input voltage is well regulated to avoid intermittent
communication problems.
CAUTION
Hot plugging the input supply with long leads can generate transients on the
input supply bus that exceed the maximum ratings of the EVM. The input
supply must be connected before it is turned on.
