CCS/TMS570LC4357: Where is project 0? Trouble with demos and configuration.

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am working with TI microcontrollers for the first time, and the project 0 page for this MCU is inaccessible. The others seem very helpful, and I feel completely lost without this guide for the first time.

  • Hello,

    Please use the rtiBlinky example programs under the HALCoGen Help
  • I have now done this, I followed the guide and everything. Nothing is happened, no blinking or anything.
    The error light is on even while loading the program on.
    Also, the left ethernet light is on, and the right one comes on occasionally.

    What is going on here?
  • Hello Brett,

    The sample code is developed to run on HDK. The HDK uses NHET signals to drive the LEDs. The launchpad uses GIOB6 and GIOB7 to drive 2 user LEDs.

    1. enable gio module and call gioInit()
    gioInit()
    2. set GIOB[7:6] pin direction to output
    gioSetDirection(gioPORTB, 0xC0);
    3. Change rtiNotification(..)
    gioSetPort(hetPORT1, gioGetPort(gioPORTB) ^ 0x000000C0);

    The launchpad uses several NHET pins to drive the ethernet PHY and LEDs on RJ45 connector, and the original rtiBlinky example sets all the NHET pins as output which may turn on the ethernet LEDs.
