Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hello,

just received the DRV8301-HC-C2-KIT and the Software on the USB is for another kit (DRV8312-C2-KIT).

Where can I get the USB Content for my kit DRV8301-HC-C2-KIT?

For sure the quick start quides would be a great help for Starters.

Regards,

jgerhardy

    That's quite strange considering two different companies manufacture those two kits. I'll notify the manufacturer, thanks for bringing to our attention.

    Latest software can always be found for C2000 kits through controlSUITE

    once installed it will be at:
    C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\DRV830x-HC-C2-KIT_v105

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your repky and your suggestion. Further encouraged by your

    Video at

    www.ti.com/.../watch.tsp

    I was able to get the instaSPIN GUI up and running the first motor

    very fast!

    Unfortunately, I have not benn able to get code composer Studio V4

    to install correctly. I am not sure if it has to do with the wrong software on

    the USB stick or where the problem is. When I start the installation ist

    gives an error warning "integration verification failed - the install-images

    folder does not exist"

    On the USB Stick I could not find an install-images folder, so I believe that this is what the error

    is complaining about.

    However, it was possivle to explore the treasure chest at TI and find a download for ccsV4 at

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v4

    and this worked for me.

    Thanks again for your support!

    Regards,

    John

    I'd recommend using newer CCS v6. v4 is very old and very flawed IMO.

    Hello Chris,thank you for the recommendation.
    I am working with the free license in V4.
    Version 6 has a lot of install options. Can you tell me what
    Modules need to be installed in order to work with this kit, or
    is there documentation?ThanksJohn

    v6 also has a free license / download.
    the only components you need for this kit are those for C2000 MCU

    if you already have v4 working though it may not be worth the time / effort to install.

    Hello Chris,

    thanks for the confirmation.

    That was kind of the approach I have been following, since all of the documentation
    that comes with the kit refers to CCS V4.

    Working - that is something else.

    Everything seems to be working, The software PM Sensorless is built and loaded
    into the F28035 board. The red LED blinks, This is at build level 1. At this point I
    watch in the watch window how IsrTicker should keep on increasing thus confirming
    that the isr is running. It does not increase.

    In the graphs, the timeline increases, but the line itself does not.

    In the debug console is the message:

    C28xx: Trouble Removing Breakpoint with the Action "Finish Auto Run" at 0x8000: (Error -1066 @ 0x8000) Unable to set requested breakpoint in memory. Verify that the breakpoint address is in writable memory. (Release 5.0.333.0)

    Looking for this in the forum, I found this:
    https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/185665/669207

    Follwing this solution, I unchecked the Generic Debug Option (Project->Propeties->Debug) option  'Enable CIO function use'
    and then got these errors:

    C28xx: Trouble Writing Register ST1: (Error -2012 @ 0x6) Requested operation cannot be done while device is running. Halt the device, and retry the operation. (Release 5.0.333.0)

    C28xx: GEL: Error while executing OnTargetConnect(): target access failed.

    C28xx: Failed Software Reset: (Error -1138 @ 0x0) Device refused to allow debug mode. Power-cycle the board. If error persists, confirm configuration and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Release 5.0.333.0)

    C28xx: Failed Software Reset: (Error -1138 @ 0x0) Device refused to allow debug mode. Power-cycle the board. If error persists, confirm configuration and/or try more reliable JTAG settings (e.g. lower TCLK). (Release 5.0.333.0)

    Going back and re-checking the option does not seem to help. Re-powering the system also has not helped.

    Do you have any ideas what is going on here?

    I am new to the TI microprocessors and CCS system, to I am working into how the system works.

    that seems like quite a mess. Unfortunately it's very tough to debug an issue like this over the forum.

    at this point I may suggest trying a fresh install of CCSv6
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Download_CCS

    you shouldn't have to change any of the debug options, etc.

    Hallo Chris,

    Yeah! You suggested this last week and I was a bit hesitant because the documentation for
    the kit is centered around V4. But I made the jump, took your suggestion and installted V6....
    and it works! What a relief. CCS V6 is much clearer in its structure and for me more intuitive.

    Thank for the good suggestion it helped a lot!

    Best Regards,
    John
