TMS320F280025C: How to evaluate firmware/code without hardware?

Part Number: TMS320F280025C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, C2000WARE

I have ordered the MCU but it has not been arrived yet and there is a already a delay of more than three months due to current global situation. I see there are simulation packages available for several microcontrollers from different vendors. For example we can simulate the code for various microcontrollers in Proteus to see whether the code is working as per our desire. But I find no such simulation tool for TI's C2000 MCU. Please share such tools if you know about them. Or is there any way to evaluate the code whether it is working properly without having real microcontroller hardware? Please provide guidance.

Best Regards,

Duman

  • Hi Duman,

    Thanks for your question, and patience during this global situation! While there is no direct way to do full evaluation like you have mentioned (like Proteus), here are some potential options for initial development testing without a board:

    1. Sysconfig: Our Sysconfig tool allows for easy configuration of several device peripherals using a GUI. This will allow for working code using only an interface, which can be compiled without a board present. Testing would still be needed once boards arrive, but this would give a good head-start on basic configuration settings for peripherals. Sysconfig support can be used by installing C2000Ware and Code Composer Studio on your computer. Details on Sysconfig are found here: https://www.ti.com/tool/SYSCONFIG

    2. MathWorks Simulink: Depending on their current device support, it is possible that MathWorks Simulink can assist with some basic model-based evaluation. However, the extent of evaluation that is possible without a board may be limited. Please feel free to contact MathWorks for more details on their current software and hardware offerings.

    Again, thank you for your patience and understanding during this global situation.

    Regards,

    Vince
