TMS320F280049C: RS-485 development and Hardware selection assistance

Hi Dennis,

What application are you using for RS-485? We have some available hardware in the form of https://www.ti.com/tool/BOOSTXL-POSMGR but this is geared towards our absolute encoder solutions

Regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your reply.

Currently, my requirements are to develop/find development kits which has RS485 in development/Eval-kit and to find an example code for the BOOT using RS485 protocol.

So, is there any existing kit which has RS485 protocol in eval kit? And also is there any existing sample code for C2000 series which uses RS485 for boot process.

Regards,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

C2000 MCU does not directly support RS-485 but you can use a board with an external transceiver (like the BOOSTXL-POSMGR) to decode the RS-485 signal into a single-ended signal that can be interfaced with C2000. Then we rely on one of the C2000 communication peripherals (something like SCI for UART or SPI) to communicate. We have a few reference guides associated with the BOOSTXL-POSMGR which you can find on the product page and the associated code is available through C2000WARE or MOTORCONTROL SDK

Regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

As per the above information, this will work if I am using the mentioned external transceiver and use the supported communication protocol supported by the transceiver and using the sample code from C2000WARE SDK like SCI_flash for Bootloader, I will be able to establish reprogramming and perform the reprogramming correctly according to the flash documentations.

Dennis
