TMS320F28035: What are the differences between MotorWARE vs motorcontrol SDK vs controlsuite

Part Number: TMS320F28035
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE, C2000WARE

I see multiple libriaries are available in the form of MotorWARE, motorcontrol SDK and Controlsuite.

Is there any guidelines on when to use which set of libriries/SDKs. MotorWARE vs motorcontrol SDK vs controlsuite?

  • The short answer is that it depends on the device you're using. For F28035, controlSUITE is where you'll find the most suitable motor control reference designs and libraries. To elaborate:

    • MotorControl SDK has our newest motor control reference designs. It's built on top of C2000Ware and focuses on supporting our latest generation of devices (F28002x, F28003x, F8004x, F2838x, and F2838x at the moment).
    • MotorWare and controlSUITE are older packages and are no longer being updated but are still good to use if you are using an older device (like F28035) not supported by the SDK. controlSUITE contains basic register header files and peripheral examples as well as some demo projects for different motor control kits.
    • MotorWare similarly contains demo projects for motor control, but they are all focused on using InstaSPIN-FOC and InstaSPIN-MOTION. It only supports F2802x, F2805x, and F2806x series devices.
