LAUNCHXL-F28379D: C2000ware package + Motorcontrol SDK

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BOOSTXL-DRV8301, DESIGNDRIVE, C2000WARE, CONTROLSUITE, SFRA, DRV8301, BOOSTXL-3PHGANINV

Hi Team, assisting a customer seek some clarifications.

Trying to make a BLDC with hall sensors work with a TI lauchpad (LAUNCHXL-F28379D) and a boosterpack (BOOSTXL-DRV8301). Considering the presence of both a C2000 Delfino mcu and digital Hall sensors on the motor, I excluded the use of INSTAspin solutions all together, as they work on C2000 piccolo mcu ideally for sensorless motors.


What is left is the Designdrive software package which, if I understood correctly, is now supported via the C2000ware package + Motorcontrol SDK. Before, on the other hand, it was included in the controlsuite package which is now not updated anymore.

Questions are:
• Can I still use controlsuite with this board for this work or do I have to move to C2000ware+SDKs solutions? 
• From the pdf “controlSUITETm to C2000Ware Transition Guide” I learnt that everything that was included in controlsuite is now available with C2000ware+the appropriate SDK. However I can’t find the same examples I could locate in the controlsuite package at all (e.g. C:\ti\controlSUITE\libs\app_libs\motor_control\libs\FCL_SFRA\v01_00_00_00\Examples\FCL_SFRA_379DXL_v1\~Docs). Where can I find them on the newer C2000ware environment?
• Are there examples of motor configuration and connections, hall readings, encoder configurations, controllers available? I mean, for instaspin solution there is a series of labs which guide you through the implementation of softwares, is there something like that for designdrive too?

Thank you in advance.

-Mark

    Hi, 

    Will forward your query to the Motorcontrol SDK team.  The example you mentioned is not included in the C2000Ware pacakge.

    Best Regards

    I don't think the boards have changed in any way that would make the controlSUITE software incompatible with them, but the MotorControl SDK will have the most up-to-date drivers, header files, and libraries available with any bug fixes or new features added.

    This exact example has not been ported to the MotorControl SDK, but we do have examples for the F28379D that use FCL and SFRA. Unfortunately we don't have a project that shows the use of the DRV8301 specifically, but you may be able to use another project as a starting point to port to your hardware. Take a look at the dual axis servo drive project in solutions\boostxl_3phganinv\f2837x. It uses a LAUNCHXL-F28379D and the BOOSTXL-3PHGANINV.

    You can browse the projects in the Resource Explorer here. Each project should have a Documents folder listed that contains the setup and steps for running the example.
