TMS570LC4357: Driver Library For The Hercules Series

Ali Temiz

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDX570LC43HDK, HALCOGEN

I'm looking for a library other than Halcogen for the Hercules series development boards. I have a TMDX570LC43HDK development board. I'm looking for a driver library that was developed without using Halcogen. In the MSP series, the DriverLib library in the example codes is very useful to me. Is there a similar library available for the Hercules series?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ali,

Apologies for the delayed response:

HALCoGen remains the primary tool for generating device drivers and initialization code for the Hercules series, including your TMDX570LC43HDK development board.

The drivers generated by HALCoGen are specific to your configuration and are part of the project structure.

While you're looking for an alternative to HALCoGen, it's worth noting that you can:

Generate the drivers once using HALCoGen and then use them as a standalone library in your project
Create your own hardware abstraction layer using the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) and datasheet
Use the HALCoGen-generated code as a reference to create your own driver library

Apart from this we do have MCAL drivers which can be access from below:
