C2000 launchpad TMS320F28027 with DRV8301

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE, TMS320F28027F, TMS320F28027, DRV8301

Hi,

I am new can some one please help me with these questions:

1. I have also kit TMS320F28027F that is working with MOTORWARE GUI - can I burn the code to this chip and make it run without the GUI - and use my own fix settings? - if yes how do I define it and do this?

2. Can I use some code to TMS320F28027 with DRV8301 (no F) - and control DRV8301 - there is no example ready to this chip, and I don't know yet how to convert the examples from another chip to this chip?

3. Does any one have any ready code that can spin 3-phase motor with DRV8301 and again the chip is regular (TMS320F28027)? or some example to "f" version without GUI?

4. How does the GUI transfer parameters to the chip? - is it UART or other protocol?, how can I build GUI myself to do this?

Any answer to even to one of these sections will help me.

Thanks,

Roee

    Yes. The MotorWare projects for 27F are all pre set to run from flash. But you will need to make sure that your code is setting some of the variables that normally are done through GUI/CCS - like EnableFlag, Run, etc. You also need a way to communicate to the board once running...you have to add all of this code yourself.  Also, you need to be aware of the GPIO pull-ups to tell the chip to boot to flash and begin running. The controlCARDs/LaunchPads default to a boot to JTAG connection usually.

    we have had these discussions already. We aren't providing examples for the non-F version.

    There are plenty of people using "F" version without GUI

    JTAG. The GUI Composer tool also now apparently supports a UART protocol, but I haven't used it yet.  You can use the GUI as a starting point or build your own in CCS GUI Composer
