ADS1298ECGFE-PDK: access to TMS320VC5509A by MMB0 of EVM kit

Part Number: ADS1298ECGFE-PDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1298, TMS320VC5509A

Hellow,
I´m a student of computer engineering and I´m starting working with ADS1298ECGFE-PDK device to develop a project to analyse heart rate variability.
However, my experience on ti-devices is limitated.
I have basic knowledge in DSP microcontrolers: I have developed some projects with DSPs of Microchip
and I know basic use of  pickit 3 interface and its software (MPLAB).

But, in order to handle ADS1298 in a deeper way by ADS1298ECGFE-PDK kit and to have the possibility to
access and modify code of TMS320VC5509A I would like to get information about:

-Way to connect MMB0 to PC to communicate with the DSP of the motherboard: what interface, wiring.

-Software for this connection (I usually work with windows 7, 8 10).

-Access to code of the firmware of the kit.

And sources of tutorial support to manage them.

Thanks,

    Hi Luis,

    Welcome to our e2e Forum!

    Unfortunately, the ADS1298ECGFE-PDK was not designed to be a development platform, so we have very little information to share with you on the specifics of how you might proceed here. The software is basically setup to work with an USB-STYX protocol to communicate with LabView, so it would be of little (or no use) to you for developing anything outside of our demonstration environment.

    That being said, the ADS1298 chip talks to the DSP through one of the available McBSP ports on the TMS320VC5509. There is an un-populated header on the MMB0 (J8 - on the controller board under the ADS1298 EVM), that could be used with a JTAG emulator and Code Composer Studio (see more here www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware). The communication is basically an SPI interface between the DSP and the ADS1298 device. If you really want to try and get that sort of setup running, the C5000 forum would be a good place to start.

    Thanks, Tom, for your early answer

    I´ll follow your advices

    I´ll try to connect my PC with the DSP of the MMB0 by JTAG, and acquainted myself with the TMS320VC5509

    Regards,

    Thanks
