LAUNCHXL2-570LC43: Hercules Safety Demos Launching

Part Number: LAUNCHXL2-570LC43

Hi All,

I have a LaunchXL2-TMS570LC43 and trying to use the Hercules Safety MCU Demo software from TI. 

When I launch the software, it gives me a pop-up window asking to navigate to the shared library FTD2XX.dll, and I've gotten to it. When I do this however the program comes up saying it can't find any devices; or if I skip this step I get issues with the NI LabView components. Has anyone else had these issues? I'm running Windows 10 and have CCSv7.3 if that helps at all.

Thanks,

Aaron

  • Hello Aaron,

    The Safety Demo software does not support the LaunchXL2-TMS570LC43 launchpad. The query you saw was an attempt to locate the FTDI chip used in our XDS100v2 emulators on our HDKs and the RM42/LS0432 launchpads. The newer launchpads use an XDS110 that doesn't have an FTDI chip and are not compatible with the Hercules Safety Demo SW.
  • Thank you Chuck! This explains the issues I was having.

    Is there any plan to support the LaunchXL2-TMS570LC43 Launchpad in the Safety Demo SW? Or any other good examples like are in the Safety Demo SW for the TMS570LC43?

    Thanks,

    Aaron
