Hello,
I am currently making a custom board with the TMS320F28388D controller, and I am trying to add the emulation circuitry.
i am basing my design off of of the control card for this processor which has its design viewable in the C2000 ware files.
However I have run into a snag. In the circuitry, I understand that the emulation of the xds100 needs a usb to serial converter chip. What I am unclear on is if Texas instruments has proprietary software that you guys program into this usb to serial chip, or the eeprom chip that is wired to it in the reference design.
I have attached the reference design below.
Would it be okay for me to just copy this circuit into my own design, and assuming i hook and solder everything up correctly, it would work to program and debug my device? Or does texas instruments flash software to some component on this reference design and therefore make it impossible for me to replicate the USB cable to debug functionality that comes on the control cards and launchpads alike?
