CCS/TMS570LS0432: New to the Hercules Launchpad

Part Number: TMS570LS0432
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am new to the Hecules LaunchPad. I spent a lot of time on the C2000 series and loved the way the demos were actual compileable and working projects. The Hercules Demos just seem to be some code snippets between some arcane comments Can SOMEONE please point me to a link to some actual Hercules projects?. The blinky LED project would be a good start. Obviously these projects exist, I don't know they are not downloaded with CCS. .

    Hello Nolan,

    Which "snippets" are you referring to? The examples in the HalCoGen example directory? If so, the comments give direction on how to build the project in HalCoGen that can then be ported into CCS and compiled/ran. For sure we don't provide the "complete" project where you can simply bring it into CCS, compile and run. This because the intention is to teach how to use Halcogen to generate the drivers and do the configuration to achieve the end targeted functionality. I don't believe that C2K has such a tool so their approach is different.

    In addition, there are several tutorial videos that walk through the generation and execution of projects. The training videos are located here: training.ti.com/.../embedded-processors-microcontrollers-mcu

    When I look at the Launchpad Wiki page, I do see some broken links that need to be restored. I will communicate this to our web support team. Among them the Safety MCU Demo download link is missing and the link to Project_0 seems to go to the Launchpad product page instead of project 0.

    Specific to the blinky project, there is an example included int he Halcogen help-->Examples directories under TMS570LS04x_03x_02X. Following the step by step instructions in the comments, you will be able to create the demo code and then create the project in CCS to program and run it.

    Thanks Chuck. Yes I liked the way we did it in C2k, and prefer it to fooling with this HalCoGen thing, but when you're in Rome... Thanks for the tips on the demos
