Use the following steps when setting up the hardware:
Connect the piezo speakers (or equivalent load) to the DRV5825PEVM.
Connect a PSU to the DRV5825PEVM to PVDD (J23) and GND (J24) between 4.5 V and 26.4 V. The 5-V and 3.3-V LEDs (Yellow) should illuminate and the USB Lock LED (Blue) should also be illuminated.
Plug in a USB cable from the computer with the PPC3? GUI to the EVM.
If an optical S/PDIF source is used, the blue S/PDIF clock-locked LED is illuminated, S1 should be toggled to S/PDIF.
The default I2C addresses on the EVM are set to 0x98 for top device (U18) and 0x9A for the bottom device (U21).
It is suggested to perform a power cycle, disconnect both the USB cable and the power supply from the board. To make sure the devices are properly initialized, TI recommends checking if the output is switching (square wave).
