LAUNCHXL-F28P65X: differences between TMDSCNCD28P65X (controlCARD) and LAUNCHXL-F28P65X (LaunchPad)

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28P65X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSCNCD28P65X,

Tool/software:

Hi, I would like to understand the differences between TMDSCNCD28P65X (controlCARD) and LAUNCHXL-F28P65X (LaunchPad) for the TMS320F28P65X MCU. Specifically regarding the software, we are are aware that there are hardware changes. Can software developed for one platform run on the other without much modifications? 

Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Thanks and regards

Swathin 

  • Hi Swathin,

    Please note there are a few differences between the 2 boards

    1. Different pins accessible to the hardware. You will need to reassign the pins when switching the boards

    2. Different package used, 256 pin for TMDSCNCD28P65X and 169 pin for LAUNCHXL-F28P65X

    3. Different intended application, LAUNCHXL-F28P65X is defined for low-cost evaluation of the C2000 MCU platform, TMDSCNCD28P65X is intended for use in system evaluation

    The actual C2000 MCU core is the same for both boards so you can retain the same linker command file which allocates the memory. Other source files apart from the HAL can be identical

    Regards,

    Peter
