TMS320F28386S: Sysconfig pin options missing

John Hite

Part Number: TMS320F28386S
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

I am using syscfg 4.01.00.00. Whenever I add a .syscfg file to the project I must go back and enter device data. Is something missing? It is not a big deal.

This is a bigger deal. I am trying to set up SCIA to use pins gpio 9 and 84. However the pinmux does not give these as an option. This is a new empty project so there should be no contention. Furthermore some of the choices offered are invalid.

Thanks,

John

    Hi John, 

    What do you mean whenever you say that it prompts you to enter the device data? Do you mean you are prompted to enter the device family and package information? I believe this is expected behavior since it will populate the header information of the .syscfg file with your device information. Previously, this information was stored in CCS, but this resulted in issues when attempting to use the SWITCH functionality of the SysConfig tool. Now, this device information is stored directly within the .syscfg file.

    Regarding your SCI question, what package of TMS320F2838 are you using?

    Regards,

    Peter

    Thanks for posting. Sorry I was not clear. I added a .syscfg file to an existing project. It asks if I want to enable sysconfig and I agree. When the sysconfig page comes up it states there is missing info and prompts me to go back. Not a problem, just wondered if I could configure things better.

    I am using an F28386S.

    I think your GPIO selection for the SCI is confused with the PIN NUMBER.

    GPIO NUMBER/NAME vs PIN NUMBER.

    Try to go to the three dots at the top right, click on preferences and actions.

    Then:

    I think the tool is confusing because the PIN NUMBER and GPIO NUMBER may be misunderstood.

    Bingo! That was a nasty little curve as I can think of nowhere else GPIO might be referred to by pin number.

    Many thanks!

    John,

    Yes I requested the CCS/SysConfig from TI to enable the GPIO name by default! In the next release of the tools we should have this enabled by default!
