CCS/TMS570LS1227: HALCOGEN files don't show up in CCS

Part Number: TMS570LS1227
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, , DRV8301, DRV3205-Q1

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello guys,

I'm fairly new to the Hercules family. I have a DRV8301-LS12 Kit, which comes with a TMS570LS12 controlCARD. The micro reads TMX570LS1227.

I have created a HALCOGEN project selecting TMS570LS1227ZWT as the micro, and in the same directory I have created a CCS project selecting TMS570LS1227, as I cant seem to choose between PGE and ZWT in Code Composer Studio.

I have been following this tutorial http://www.tij.co.jp/jp/lit/an/spna121b/spna121b.pdf

but unfortunately, the code I generate with halcogen does not appear into my CCS.Is it because of the PGE/ZWT configuration?

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Sofia,

    The best way to learn how to do this is to go through the 1 day training slides on the Hercules Wiki page. It will walk through step by step generating the code in Halcogen and then setting up your project in CCS. The versions of the tools referenced will be different since the material is a little bit old, but the steps are the same.

    The Wiki is at this link: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Category:TMS570

    The training material is located directly at this link: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Category:TMS570

    There are also some example code located on the wiki. Again, it is a little dated and I hear that there are some bugs and some code issues, but, mostly, the examples can be a good starting point. Note that both the control cards and the DRV8301 kit have been obsoleted so support is difficult at best.

    The latest is a DRV3205-Q1 EVM but there is still limited support at this time for using this with Hercules. I do hear that there are some plans to put together a reference design using this EVM with a Hercules Launchpad, but the commitment and schedule is still up in the air.

    Thanks Chuck,

    I deleted all the files, started from scratch, followed all the steps here www.tij.co.jp/.../spna121b.pdf
    and it worked. So clearly I was doing something wrong the first time round.

    Anyway, thanks for the super useful links :-)
