DC/DC Lighting kit - switch settings

Bernard Harris
Prodigy 10 points

I'm not managing to connect to the DC/DC lighting kit. The documentation isn't very clear. I noticed that there have been issues with the MCU not being flashed, but firstly I'd like to check the jumpers and switch positions. 

I'd appreciate it if someone who has the kit could comment.  

 

Thanks

 

 
On control card - (Top is the edge without the connector, bottom is the edge with the connector, left and right as seen from the side with the MCU facing the viewer)
SW1: Towards top or bottom ?
SW2 left switch: Towards top or bottom ?
SW2 right switch: Towards top or bottom ?
SW3 left switch: Towards top or bottom ?
SW3 right switch: Towards top or bottom ?
 
On Main card:  (Top is the edge with the LED terminal blocks, as in the photo in the quick start guide. This is just the list taken from the table in part 4.2 of the HWGuide.pdf)

    Bernard,
    See below:

    On control card - (Top is the edge without the connector, bottom is the edge with the connector, left and right as seen from the side with the MCU facing the viewer)
    SW1: Towards top or bottom ?
    Toward bottom (off)
    SW2 left switch: Towards top or bottom ?
    Toward top (on)
    SW2 right switch: Towards top or bottom ?
    Toward top (on)
    SW3 left switch: Towards top or bottom ?
    Toward bottom
    SW3 right switch: Towards top or bottom ?
    Toward bottom
     
    On Main card:  (Top is the edge with the LED terminal blocks, as in the photo in the quick start guide. This is just the list taken from the table in part 4.2 of the HWGuide.pdf)

    [Main]-J6 : Not populated
    If connecting to the GUI, do not populate.  If connecting with Code Composer, populate

    [M1]-SW1 : Towards top or bottom ?
    Turns board on and off; on is toward the controlCARD

    [M1]-SW2 : Towards top or bottom ?
    Always off

    [M3]-J? (Unlabeled jumper just below C1).: 
    It is a ground


    You have configured all other switch and jumper settings correctly. 


    As you mentioned there is an issue with the flash not being programmed correctly so the GUI will connect as described in the quick start guide that comes with the kit.  Instructions for how to flash the controlCARD and more information about this issue can be found here: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/tms320c2000_32-bit_real-time_mcus/f/172/t/57174.aspx


    Thank you,
