Regarding DRV8301-LS12-KIT connection issue to PC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE, TMS570LS1227, HALCOGEN

Dear All,

One of my customer is working on DRV8301-LS12-KIT. They have installed CCS software available in CD supplied along with kit.

when they connect DRV8301-LS12-KIT to PC, board is not getting connected to PC , I believe some drivers are not installed properly.

please advise how to resolve the issue. Attached is the screenshot of error, look forward for your valuable help, thanks.

  • Hi, there.

    I have passed your question to our expert. He will reply to you shortly.

    Thanks and regards,

    Zhaohong
  • Sorry for the delay in replying as I was out of office. You need to copy the contents of the C:\ti\Hercules\MotorWare\v1.0.3.03\sw\solutions\foc_encoder_speed\gui\guicomposer\webapps\ folder to the C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\ folder.

    Then execute the launcher.exe from the right folder under C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\.
  • Dear SIr,

    sorry for delay in reply. yes it is working and customer able to connect board to GUI, thanks for support.

    please advise from where we can get small peripheral codes /projects(ADC, DAC, GPIO etc) for TMS570LS12 safety MCU in CCS V5, please help to share link.

    Also help to share starting manual/starting guide for CCS V5 for safety MCU and HAL code generator tool, all for TMS570LS12 safety MCU's only.

    please help to share details, thanks.

  • Aravind,

    You can find all of this information in the technical reference manual and datasheet for the TMS570LS1227. Here's a link to all the related technical documents for this part: www.ti.com/.../technicaldocuments

    For help related to drivers and examples provided by HALCoGen, please use the "Help" menu within HALCoGen. Here you can find examples that explain some of the use cases of the individual peripherals.
  • Dear sir,

    Thanks. Do we have any examples that explains use cases of individual peripherals in code composer stuido V5 for safety Microcontrollers. please advise thanks.

    please also advise whether CCS V5 or HALCOGEN is good tool for Hercules MCU.

  • Aravind,

    HALCoGen is a tool that allows you to generate driver code for individual peripheral modules. You can also use the GUI to choose the initial configuration of the module functions (pin states, communication baud rates, etc.). These configuration settings are then included in specific *Init() functions generated as part of the {module}.c file.

    CCS is an Eclipse-based IDE which includes a C/C++ source debugger as well as a set of Code Generation tools (compiler, linker, etc.). The latest version of CCS is v6.1.2 and can be downloaded from processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v6

    These tools are fairly independent of each other. You can find code project examples from within HALCoGen. Click Help --> Help Topics and then open the "Examples" section.
  • Dear Sir,

    I beleive CCS Version 5 is latest one  available for safety MCU, because in DRV8301-LS12-KIT, CCS V5 is included in CD.. please correct me if i am wrong.

    where we can get example driver codes/projects of individual peripherals modules in CCS Version 5 for safety MCU's, please advise.

    Thanks for details, if you help to share getting started guide for CCS V5 for safety MCU, it will be really useful.

    Rgds/Aravind.

  • CCS v6.1.2 is latest and you can download it from the link I had included in my earlier post. Examples provided within HALCoGen are not specific to any CCS version. You can generate code projects for individual peripheral modules using either CCS v5 or v6.
