DRV8412-C2-KIT F28035 Control-Card and Simulink Embedded Coder.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8412, BOOSTXL-DRV8301, DRV8312

How is the compatibility of the C2000 Piccolo F28035 Control-Card with SIMULINK embedded coder? I know that the DRV8412-C2-KIT comes with a GUI, I want to try to integrate it into Simulink for research purposes.

I am having a lot of technical issues even after I set the environmental variables and target preferences configured for C28035_CPU, when I click Build Model it asks for the BIOS location. My goal is to make a Model that is for stepper Motor control and to make GUI with MaTLAB to control that set Model, I will be quite frank I am not that familiar with Simulink and I am learning as I go. Any expert here from TI that works with MathWorks for Embedded Target control of C2000 Piccolo? Any tips or guides that can help me would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time, please contact me either by reply here or by my email. mbathaniah@tamu.edu

Hello,

There is a bunch of links to more MathWorks + C2000 info here: Sticky: MathWorks Solutions for C2000 MCU’s

I would suggest looking at these 2 YouTube videos to get going:

Programming TI C2000 Launchpad with Simulink (18:11)
Using a TI F28069 LaunchPad with Simulink(16:32)

The models and files needed to duplicate the examples shown in the videos are here:

I have a simple model running on a DRV8312EVM in my office - the general workflow used in the videos with a LaunchPad + BOOSTXL-DRV8301 still applies for the DRV8312.

I'm not an expert with building GUI's in MATLAB, but there are a couple different methods you can use. Here's a good doc link to get you started with that - and be sure to look at the examples; might be something useful you can harvest in there.

Good luck with your project!

Thank you for the reply and help.

would the block diagram differ for a BLDC and a Stepper Motor? because I did see those two videos, and they use BLDC.

"I have a simple model running on a DRV8312EVM in my office - the general workflow used in the videos with a LaunchPad + BOOSTXL-DRV8301 still applies for the DRV8312."

Would it apply for a DRV8412? Because the DRV8312EVM seems to be running a BLDC not a Stepper Motor as to what I am running on the DRV412.

Thanks,

I have never used the DRV8412, but the same workflow would apply for any C2000 MCU. This will work for a stepper motor, although you will control it differently.

You can look in the MATLAB File Exchange for projects posted by MathWorks users that involve stepper motors. Might give you some ideas to work form.
