the windows side usb examples

Hi, I'm using a Stellaris Launchpad ek -lm4f120xl, and trying to follow the workshops available here :http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_Stellaris_EK-LM4F120XL_LaunchPad_Workshop?DCMP=Stellaris&HQS=StellarisLaunchPadWorkshop

And i'm not getting the usb windows side examples here: http://www.ti.com/tool/rdk-bldc-cd

There' another source for this files, anyone knows?

Thanks!

  • You can find the Windows-side USB example package at http://www.ti.com/tool/sw-usb-win. For some reason, I can no longer find a direct link to this but the search feature found it for me. You won't find this in the rdk-bldc package because that board doesn't support Stellaris-based USB function.

  • Dave, on this link you provided there's no link for actually download the examples, and neither do any download start automatically... Did i miss something?

  • Ouch! It looks like that bit of the web site is still messed up. Sorry about that. I assumed that the "Get Software Updates" link on that page would get you to the right place but it seems to be broken. I've passed this on to the right person in our web development team and they are trying to reinstate the correct links. I'll post an update once I hear that it is fixed.

  • I've just heard that the package will be available tomorrow. The fix is made but it takes an overnight update before it appears on the live server. As yet, I don't know the URL of the package but I suspect it will be available on the page at http://www.ti.com/tivaware.

  • Ah - still more of the "unanticipated (really?) consequences" of the most vital, re-branding...

  • Dave, thank you for the help. I'm using a Stellaris Launchpad Evaluation kit - EK-LM4F120XL, to support my MCU studies on the college, i'm just following the workshops available on the web, and when i get to the USB part, found this trouble. 

  • I edited my previous post a couple of minutes ago when I re-read your original question and noticed you are using LaunchPad. I've not seen the workshop so am not sure what it covers but the only example application for LaunchPad which requires the Windows-side USB examples is usb_dev_bulk. usb_dev_serial will work without this package as long as you install the correct Windows drivers which you can find in the windows_drivers directory of the StellarisWare or TivaWare installation.
