Part Number: AFE5818EVM Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE5818 , LMK04826 Tool/software: Dear comunity I have been struggling to get my AFE5818EVM-TSW1400EVM setup working and to capture ultrasound data. I'm using a Dell Laptop with the following specs: I installed the HSDC Pro V4.10, DII version 0.0 as well as the HMC-DAQ GUI v2.8 from the following TI URL: https://www.ti.com/tool/AFE5818EVM I connect the AFM to a +5V, 2.1A power supply and the TSW to a +5V, 3A powder supply as well as both to my laptop via USB connection. But here is where my problems start. When I launch the HSDC Pro I get the first error: I have tried installing different versions of LabVIEW Runtime from the official website but I can't get this error resolved. :( But if I press continue, the software performed it's next steps as expected. The TSW1400 gets recognized successfully, the program realizes that there is no firmware, I can find the AFE5818 firmware in the drop-down menu and after uploading the firmware, the HMC-DAQ GUI opens successfully. However, non of the LED0-LED7 light up on my TSW1400 which I interpret as a bad sign...: If I want to proceed to initialize the device via the GUI, I get an error that the current configuration of the device is not supported by the GUI --> I guess the firmware never got installed or got installed in a corrupt fashion(?) Furthermore a second error message pops up right after pressing ok, which states the following: (Error 5001 occurred at Specified Register or Block cannot be find in Register map tree. Source: Main Engine - Identify Register Details.vi This error code is undefined. Undefined errors might occur for a number of reasons. For example, no one has provided a description for the code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input. Additionally, undefined error codes might occur because the error relates to a third-party object, such as the operating system or ActiveX. For these third-party errors, you might be able to obtain a description of the error by searching the Web for the error code (5001) or for its hexadecimal representation (0x00001389).) Could this be linked to the initial error seen when opening the HSDC Pro? And is it truly linked to LabVIEW? Or could it be a problem with the hardware? Because if I just press ok and try to capture data I get the more common error of "Read DDR to file TIMED_OUT_ERROR": But I guess that this can make sense, if the device never got initialized. Non the less, I tried to follow the troubleshooting steps from Appendix F of the manual ( https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slou430a/slou430a.pdf?ts=1741266916826&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Ftool%252FAFE5818EVM) and tried measuring all the mentioned pins: Use an oscilloscope to test the frequency of the clock at header J36 or J34. This should be a 50-MHz square wave. TP44 should be 200 MHz. If using JESD, also check TP42 near the LMK04826, this should be either 200 MHz or 400 MHz, by default. Also check TP43. But when I check J36 I get this strange signal (not a square wave and nowhere close 50MHz): I'm really at a lose for what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so so much for your time and help. Best, Benjamin
