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 TPS2459 device 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 TPS2459 EVM GUI, running on a Windows PC, via the on-board USB-to- I
2
C
interface.
The TPS2459 EVM GUI installation file is available in WinZip format as a free download from the TI
website at www.ti.com . Alternatively, the GUI may be obtained on diskette or via e-mail by contacting your
local authorized TI representative. Save the GUI .zip file to the desired directory on the local hard drive of
the target PC. Open the .zip, and extract the installation executable. The installer filename will be of the
form “TPS2459-EVM-GUI-1.0.x.y.exe”, where x and y are minor build revision numbers.
Launch the installer utility by double-clicking the name/icon in an Explorer window, or click on Start → Run
… → Browse … , and navigate to the folder which the .exe was saved to. Select the .exe file, click Open,
then click OK. The welcome window of the GUI Setup Wizard shown in Figure 3 will be displayed. Clicking
Next will bring up the “License Agreement” window. Note that the I accept the agreement radial button
must be selected in order to proceed.
Follow the installation instructions in this and subsequent Wizard windows, selecting the desired options,
and clicking Next each time. At the “Ready to Install” screen, click Install if the displayed settings are O.K.
The installer will verify system requirements, install GUI files, and create the selected icons and program
groups. When the “Installation Complete” window of Figure 4 appears, click the Finish button to exit the
Setup Wizard.
The TPS2459EVM makes use of various jumpers for quick change of functional configurations. Verify the
module was supplied with jumpers installed across the following two-pin headers, or reconfigure settings
as necessary.
