LAUNCHXL-F28377S: Most examples either dont build or wont debug.

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28377S
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, C2000WARE, TMS320F28377S

For some reason in CCSv7 and latest controlSUITE then most of the examples do not build or cannot be debugged on the target.  Im only trying to assess operational speed of some algorithms and no time to learn the CCS environment (I use many others but CCS seems to have a lot more configuration files to deal with). For example, blinky, just wont build eg XDAIS issue, and more down the line once I fix it.  In short, is there in fact any solid update to the controlSUITE examples for this Delfino that will work properly out of the box?

    Hi Anthony,

    Download C2000ware. controlSuite examples have compatibility issue due to absence of XDAIS tool.

    Thankyou Gautam, yes there are issues with it, but is there any plans to get working code in controlSUITE?  I really need to test out a Delphino (preferably non-BGA) and there is no support for a quick-start using the LaunchPad XL TMS320F28377S. I am now wondering if there is a different LaunchPad that might be more supported with working code instead?

    For controlSuite - I think no as C2000ware would be the nextGen Suite that would be regularly updated. C2000ware has all example codes as in controlSuite but compiled with latest compiler.

    Once downloaded simply navigate to : C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_1_00_00_00\device_support

    Thankyou Gautam, Ive downloaded C2000Ware (I was never aware of this!) - and I got a program to build and debug on the board (blinky), once I had found the correct PDF file 'Example_Projects_Quickstart_Guide.pdf' in '..\device_support\f2837xs\docs'. This is a leap forward, thanks again. Only one problem remains, the LED does not actually flash on and off. I have found that '_LAUNCHXL_F28377S' is not defined in the project (which is used to select the LED port pin on line 59 in blinky_cpu01.c). After forcing it to be defined, hey presto, it works! But now Im worried about the other examples (and eventually move on to FOC sensorless motor control). Did i miss something? Was I supposed to load some libraries etc?

    Good to know that.

    Yes... you need to define.

    Yes there are some missing parts between controlSuite and C2000ware. The migration somewhat seems incomplete. The controlSuite projects should work once xdais tool is installed in CCSv7.

    OK will look forward to XDAIS if this corrects some issues. Incidentally I had to insert the extra define at compiler level using "Project | Properties | CCS Build | C2000 Compiler | Advanced options | predefined symbols | Add _LAUNCHXL_F28377S" since this define affects other parts of the code such as the blink time interval (should be 500ms).
