Serial communication between PC and F28035 - problems

Hi to all,

I bought the kit DRV8312-C2-KIT. Here, the control board F28035 is placed on the DRV8312 baseboard.

I need to exchange data between PC and Control Board using RS232 or SCI.

I tried this example Example_2803xSci_FFDLB.c using CCS4. The example with title "DSP2803x Device SCI FIFO Digital Loop Back Test"

runs correctly.


Now I am trying this example: Example_2803xSci_Echoback.c. This example does not run well.



The algorithm of the example stops on this line (see figure SCI_prob2 ):


       // Wait for inc character
       while(SciaRegs.SCIFFRX.bit.RXFFST !=1) { } // wait for XRDY =1 for empty state






The display of characters on the hyperterminal is bad.See figure SCI_prob1 :





The PC is connected to the control board F28035 only via USB. So I'm not using a rs 232 transceiver.

The configuration of the switches on the control card is: SW3 - ON , SW2 - ON ,SW1 - ON.

Can anyone explain me what should I do?

How do I use the example of "Example_2803xSci_Echoback.c"?

The problem is caused by a wrong connection?

To use the rs 232, I have to buy a RS232 transceiver?


I hope someone help me.

Best regards,

Dario Detomaso
