TMS320F28388D: Where can we find the TMS320F28388D developing tools and how to bring up the TMDSCNCD28388D evaluation board?

Tool/software:

Hello support team,

We are developing our multiple channel data acquisition system based on the TMS320F28388D chip set. Here I have some questions about the chipset and developing tools.

- Before I used AM273x chipset and installed CCS v12.7.0 specifically for it. To use TMS320F28388D or TMS320F2838x, do I need to uninstall the current CCS and reinstall new version of CCS? Can I keep the current CCS and update or add new component for the TMS320F28388D or TMS320F2838x? If it's possible, how can I update my CCS?

- What kind of SDK should I install for the TMS320F28388D or TMS320F2838x? Are there any sample projects in the SDK?

- What other tools/SW should I install to developing on the TMS320F28388D or TMS320F2838x?

- Could you provide some instructions to bring up the TMDSCNCD28388D evaluation board? We need to setup the on chip 4-ch ADC, SPI, UART and SD card.

Appreciate your help and support.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Lin

    Before uninstalling anything, can you go through the C2000 Academy ? This will go over how to get started with CCS and other getting started items. You should be able to keep current CCS and update to add C2000 device support. You can followed the described steps in this E2E for C2000 instead of CC2538. 

    Additional CCS12.8.1 is the last CCS version to be supported. IF you want the latest CCS that is being supported, you should install version CCS20.2 or greater.

    1. Check to see if  you have installed C2000WARE. The C2000 Academy lab will also go through this step that you can follow under "Start Developing with Your Device" -> Part 1 - Using CCS.

      1. https://www.ti.com/product/TMS320F28388D#software-development
      2. Please look at the software development tab here to view some other tools. In addition there are application notes on various tools within SysConfig that can help with your development. The main one is going to be C2000WARE SDK.

      1. All instructions to bring up the TMDSCNCD28388D evaluation board is going to be located within the C2000WARE SDK
        1. For example location:
          1. C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_6_00_00_00\boards\controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28388D

    Hi Ryan, (I don't know why I can't reply to your message directly.)

    Thank you very much for your reply and all the informative links. I will follow them to get myself familiar with the new C2000 chipset.

    Here I still want to know the correct method to add the C200 device support to my current CCS or to reinstall a new version of CCS.

    You said that "CCS12.8.1 is the last CCS version to be supported". As now I have the CCS12.7.0 on my windows laptop, does that mean I have to reinstall a new CCS which is later than CCS12.8.1? In addition, we will need the CCS12.7.0 for AM273x for our other projects. May I install two versions of CCS at different directories on my same laptop?

    If I can still keep the CCS12.7.0, to add C2000 deice support, I check the link you provided. So I can run the CCS installer again and add support for C2000 device families. Is that correct? Or could you provide the update site of the C2000 so that I can do CCS -> Help -> Install New Software...

    Thanks for your screenshot of the Install Device Support. I tried that, however I got a message as below. Once I click the Ok, CCS closed but nothing else happened. Any further instruction for it?

    Really hope I can finished the CCS update or reinstall item with your kind help so that I can proceed for other tasks.

    Best regards,

    Lin

    Your device should be supported in CCS12.8.1 or CCS12.7.0 i believe. But if you want the latest CCS then installing CCS20.2 would be your route. 

    I would install latest CCS just because of all the bug fixes that may be happening as the iterations of the version go on. 

    You can have different versions of CCS at different directories on your same laptop.

    That can also work. You can also uninstall current CCS12.7, then reinstall and make sure you have C2000 device support enabled when installing again.

    Apologize for this. May be best to just reinstall CCS12.7 if you want to use this version.
