6.1 GUI Installation
www.ti.com Test Procedure
The following procedure can be used to verify functional operation of the EVM assembly upon receipt.
In an ATCA™ or µ TCA™ application, the TPS2359 IC may work in conjunction with an Intelligent Platform
Management Controller (IPMC) device, which in turn is in communication with shelf management. The
Shelf Management Controller (ShMC) configures slot power parameters, and enables and disables rails in
response to a dynamically changing system configuration. With the EVM, this control function is realized
with the TPS2359 EVM GUI, running on a Windows PC, via the on-board USB-to- I
2
C interface.
The GUI is available via download from the TI website (http://www.ti.com ). Alternatively, the GUI may be
obtained on distribution diskette or by e-mail by contacting your authorized TI representative. To install the
GUI on the intended host PC, follow the instructions in this section.
Save the distribution .zip file to the local hard drive of the target PC. Extract the installation executable
from the file. The installer filename will be of the form TPS2359-EVM-GUI-1.0.x.y.exe, where x and y are
minor build revision numbers.
Click on Start → Run … , and navigate to the folder where the executable was extracted to. Click on the
installation .exe file. Click on Open, then click OK. Alternatively, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the
GUI folder, then double-click on the.exe file. The TI TPS2359 EVM GUI Setup Wizard welcome screen will
appear on the display. Follow the instructions given in the Wizard pop-ups, selecting the desired options,
and clicking “Next>” each time to proceed. Note that when the GUI license agreement displays, you must
select the I accept the agreement radial button in order to proceed.
At the Ready to install window, click Install, if the settings are O.K. The GUI will be installed to the
indicated location, and any selected links created. When the installation complete window of Figure 4
appears, click the Finish button to exit the installer.
Note: If the EVM is not yet connected to the power supplies, or the supplies are turned off at this
point, it is recommended to uncheck the Launch Texas Instruments TPS2359 EVM GUI
checkbox before clicking on Finish.
