LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012: CUSTOM LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 DESIGN

Part Number: LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, HALCOGEN, TMS570LS1227, TMS570LS1224

I have a development card LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 with the TMS570LS1224PGE microcontroller. I am interested in programming and debugging the TMS570LS1227PGE microcontroller. Is this possible from the same development card ?. Do I need a special modification or update some firmware to do this ?. I would add your quick response.

    Hello Sergio,

    The launchpad has a built in XDS110 emulator so no additional equipment or board changes are need to program the device. You can use CCS or Uniflash tools from TI to program it over JTAG or any of the other tools that document support for the TMS570 devices.

    There is a quickstart guide that comes with the board that covers some of this. Also, there is a wiki page for this kit at processors.wiki.ti.com/.../LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 that has some very basic getting started projects/examples to walk you through some basic operations such as using Halcogen to generate code, importing projects into CCS, and using CCS to execute and debug your code.

    I think I did not explain myself well. I will rephrase my question.

    I have a LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 with integrated TMS570LS1224PGE microcontroller. However, if I wanted to change the microcontroller for another of the same family in this case TMS570LS1227PGE. Will the emulator recognize the microcontroller as such or does it necessarily have to be the TMS570LS1224PGE?

    I need to upload a project to the TMS570LS1227PGE microcontroller developed in CCS with the Halcogen tool. I do not have a programmer and I have read that some micro controllers can be programmed using the tools of a development card.

    I appreciate your prompt respect.

    The Launchpad has an XDS110 emulator included on them. If you were to swap out the MCU on the board with the TMS570LS1227, there shouldn't be any issues with the emulator working with the new MCU. The programming sw itself will be the part that needs to change by you selecting the TMS570LS1227 instead of the TMS570LS1224. You can use either CCS or Uniflash to program either device on the Launchpad provided you select the appropriate device within those tools.

    I believe the TMS570LS1224 and TMS1227 are pin compatible, but please double check to be certain.

    Hi Chuck,

    Thanks for your response. You have clarified the doubt. 

    Thanks and Regards,
