Issue Cause Possible Solution
POWER LED Does Not Turn on When the USB Is
Connected
The SDP-B is not receiving power. First, check if the cable is connected properly to the PC
as well as the SDP-B. Then, try a different USB cable.
Or, the SDP-B may be broken.
VDDLED Does Not Turn On The SDP interface board is not receiving power. First, ensure that the SDP-B is powered up. Then,
confirm that the SDP-B and the SDP-B adapter board
are connected properly via the 120-pin connector. Finally,
check if the jumper on P2 is installed.
IRQA, IRQB, IRQC, and/or IRQN Do Not Light Up on
Startup Even Though VDDLED Is on
The IRQ pin on the corresponding ADE9113 devices is
floating or high.
Confirm that the SDP interface board and the EVAL-
ADE9113EBZ boards are connected properly via the
26-pin connector.
Dialog Box Displaying Test R/W Failed: Check if
correct SPI mode is selected and clocks are enabled!
Appears
Communication to all four ADE9113 devices is checked
while establishing connection between the software and
the hardware by reading and writing to their registers.
This message indicates that the check failed.
First, confirm that the SDP interface board and the
EVAL-ADE9113EBZ boards are connected properly via
the 26-pin connector. Then, ensure that the jumper
configuration matches the communication mode selected
on the Dashboard. Finally, try restarting the EVAL-
ADE9113KTZ SW and connecting to it again.
Dashboard Displays HW Link Broken The connection between the PC and the SDP-B was
lost, or the test R/W described previously failed.
First, confirm that the hardware connection between
the PC, SDP-B, SDP interface board, and EVAL-
ADE9113EBZ is proper. Then, verify that the jumpers
are installed correctly according to the communication
mode selected on the Dashboard. Finally, try restarting
the EVAL-ADE9113KTZ SW and connecting it again.
SPI Error Messages on the Bottom of Register GUI SPI transactions between the SDP-B and the
ADE9113s failed
Ensure that the jumpers are installed correctly.
