SYSCONFIG: Pin Allocation TMS320F2838X

Part Number: SYSCONFIG
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

Hi all!

I had an issue with SysConfig. I use this tool to configure pin allocation of my device(TMS320F2838X). What I have seen it that the tool doesnt list the CLB Input X-BAR. It is not listed. I believe it should be added. Did anybody have the same issue or know about it?

Thanks in advance.

cheers,

Hi Erhan,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Which version of SysConfig are you using? As far as I know, CLB Input X-Bar should be configurable on the latest version of SysConfig. Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of C2000ware and CCS from the web. I have included a screenshot of the SysConfig tool on my setup that allows for configuration of the CLB Input X-Bar.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter!

Thanks for your help also. Actually I was using Sysconfig as standalone and the version is the latest already. But it seems I should switch to CCS. I will try it with CCS and hopefully it works.

cheers,

Hi Erhan,

Yes, I personally prefer to use the CCS version of SysConfig. With the CCS version, there are two tabs on the left, one for Software and the other for Reserve Peripherals. The Reserve Peripherals tab looks similar to the screenshot you provided with the omission of the CLB Input X-Bar configuration. So, be sure to use the Software tab to allow for configuring all peripherals.

Please let me know if you are able to resolve your issue.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter!

Thanks for your help. I just tried it with an example project but its same. :s

I am also new with the CCS. I don't know the details like where is software tab etc. Can you tell me your CCS version please? And what is your device?

When i use f28388x i dont see the clb input bar.

Apart from all. Is there any getting starting tutorial to use sysconfig with css? That would be appreciated.

Hi Erhan,

From the screenshot you sent, it looks like you do not have the software tab. Try to import the following empty syscfg project (Projects > Import CCS Projects > Select search-directory) from C2000ware located at:

C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_4_00_00_00\driverlib\f2838x\examples\c28x\pinmux

From the screenshot I sent you, I had imported this example (for F2838x) with CCS v11. Depending on the example you import, you may see more or less configurable peripherals. There is also an FAQ available for SysConfig to make sure that the SysConfig settings are set properly.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/910829/faq-how-do-i-add-sysconfig-support-pinmux-and-peripheral-initialization-to-an-existing-driverlib-project

Apart from that, there is a "Getting Started" link available on the Quick Links section in the homepage of SysConfig. Let me know if the example project works for you.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter!

Thank you so much. When I import the empty project I can see the CLB input xbar as well.

But really I didn't get it. What is this software tab andthe difference with standalone sysconfig?

that means you cant do proper allocation with standalone sysconfig?

Hi Erhan,

The standalone SysConfig and the CCS version can both be used for proper configuration. Actually, when I go to my own standalone SysConfig app, I can see both tabs (Software and Reserve Peripherals). There may be a setting that is configured on your app that prevents it from displaying both tabs. Nonetheless, it looks like you should be able to configure using CCS SysConfig properly now. Note that you can view the generated source files by going to the <> icon in the top right and clicking board.c on the generated files window.

Regards,

Peter
