Absolute beginner TMDSDOCKH52C1 - H52C1 Concerto Experimenter Kit

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSDOCKH52C1, CONTROLSUITE

Hi Everyone:

I have recently brought an experimental kit: TMDSDOCKH52C1 - H52C1 Concerto Experimenter Kit. 

I have experienece with Arduino boards. 

I was wondering if there is any resources to quickly get started with the above experimental board. FOr example, how to get the ubiquitous "blink" example, where you blink a LED.

Thanks

Amit

Edit 1:

I am not even sure what are the software to install. I have currently installed CCS (from the TI website) and controlSUITE (from the TI website). Is that all that is needed? How do I flash my codes from CCS to the board? what is the purpose of controlSUITE?

Edit 2: 

Currently I am watching this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7ysgsRk--M . Is it of any use? Are there a video some where which describes getting started with TMDSDOCKH52C1 - H52C1 Concerto Experimenter Kit. 

 

Edit 3: 

Can the coding be done using MATLAB/Simulink Embedded coder?

  • Hi Amit,

    controlSuite is the package which contains all documentations, peripheral headers, sample codes for controllers and development kits specially for C2000 controllers. I would recommend you to first go through controlSuite examples; this is because it would  be better if you understand how things work on the concerto side before switching to Matlab perspective. Most importantly, you'll not be getting any support on Matlab CCS interface here; so if you face any issues later you'll have to post it in the matlab forum.

    You'll find all the required files for your kit here: C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\f28m35x\v201

  • Thanks for your reply Gautam. 

    Is there any notes/tutorial on connections? There are two microUSB and one ethernet connection on the board and on the control card there is one miniUSB. 

    Which one goes where? I am bit lost there. I plan to use my laptop for powering it up, so I guess the power jack will remain open.

    Thanks

  • Amit, here's the Concerto workshop pdf, this will guide you through this basic stuffs:
