Part Number: TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: POWERSUITE, C2000WARE

Tool/software:

Hello 

I am following the Reference Designs: TIDM-DC-DC-BUCK (F280049C launch pad with Buck converter) document which is written for older CCS v9.3. I am using the latest CCS theia version and finding the procedure hard to follow. 

4.3 Procedure 
4.3.1 - Hardware setup - done
4.3.2 - Software setup - done
4.3.3 - Build and load lab 1 - done


4.3.4 - Prepare the debug environment - stuck here

4.3.4 (2) How do I populate the expressions window?


4.3.4 (3) How do I add graph for output voltage?


Thank you,
Kamakshi

    Kamakshi,

    This reference design was released, validated and intended to be evaluated on CCS12.8 or earlier.

    I see you are using CCS20. In CCS20, you will have to populate these expression manually and will be inconvenient for you. 

    I would suggest you to please download and install the CCS12.8  to evaluate this. This way it will be easy for you to follow step-by-step user guide: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidu986a/tidu986a.pdf

    Regards,

    Sumit

    Hi Sumit,

    I installed CCS12.8 and imported the ref design files. Now when I try to open the main.syscfg file, I get the following error -



    I have tried reinstalling CCS but I still get the same error. 

    What should I do?

    1. Make sure you are importing normal project and NOT for "older CCS v9.3"

    Can you try open project properties and see if this settings are there?

    If not then add (top right corner) the following path: ${POWERSUITE_ROOT}/.metadata/product.json

    It its there then double click and browse following path correspond to your installed DPSDK: C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_DigitalPower_SDK_5_04_00_00\powerSUITE\.metadata

    If this doesn't work then re-installed the DPSDK and import the example once again. It seems like you may have changed some example project setting when you used CCS theia version.

    Make sure when importing have following check box for copying project so that you don't end up changing the example itself:

    Let me know which one of this resolution worked or if it worked at all.

    Regards,

    Sumit

    Hi Sumit, 

    Thank you! I was using resource explorer to install the project and didn't restart my pc after the import. Once I restarted my pc and ccs, everything is working fine and I could follow the first two labs. Thank you again!
