CCS/TMS320F28377S: Getting Started with Delfino Board (What is the best workflow with C2000Ware?)

Hi all,

I am new to the forum, so, any help would be super helpful.

Basically, I just got myself a LAUNCHXL-F28377S Delfino board and I am not sure what is the best workflow to get a project running.

I am coming from Cypress's PSoC4 environment and I know setting up any peripheral can be done easily using the fantastic GUI-based tools.

Is there any equivalent to this in CCS?

I managed to run a few example codes from the C2000Ware, but, I am still not sure to start a new project on my own.

For example, to blink an LED, I know that I need to initialise the CPU and the GPIO, but, I am not sure what are files to include and copy from the C2000Ware to my project folder (e.g. delay, etc.).

In other words, I need a step-by-step guide to make my own CCS project using the C2000Ware.

I tried my best to find a decent getting started guide, but I failed. I did find several long documentation, but, I prefer something that is straightforward for a beginner like me to understand.

Any advice will be highly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

You can start from the examples available with C2000WARE and tailor it for your intended application. You will find a bunch of examples at devices/f2837xs/f28377/examples.

Hi Sudharsanan,

Thank you for your reply.

As I've mentioned, I managed to run several example codes from C2000Ware.

My question was, what is the best workflow?

Do I need to manually copy all of the driverlib files to local project directory?

So far, my workaround is to import the "empty project" from C2000Ware and that seems to import all of the dependencies too.

hi ,

No you don't have to manually copy all of the driverlib files to local project directory

Can you refer to the #devices section of the c2000Ware_Documentation.html under docs/ folder?

In that refer to F2837xS_DEV_USER_GUIDE . it gives it details on how to start with a project: Getting Started.

Regards.

Afdhal,

Sorry about the delay in replying to your post, but I was out of town on a business trip. A good starting point for you would be to review the F2837xD workshop materials. We have two different workshops - the multi-day workshop goes into greater detail, and the one-day workshop provides an overview. Since you are working with the single-core device, I would suggest starting with the multi-day workshop. The workshop materials can be found at:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../C2000_32-bit_Real-Time_MCU_Training

One more important note - the F28377S LaunchPad does not pin-out the same functions as the F28379D LaunchPad (e.g. ePWM1 outputs, GPIOs connecting to LEDs, etc.) so you will need to slightly modify the source code to accommodate these changes. Also, I would like to let you know that the one-day workshop includes videos which might be useful to you. Here are two additional videos that you might find interesting:

training.ti.com/c2000-f28379d-dual-core-launchpad-technical-overview-demonstration-inter-processor-communications

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Also, please click the green "Verified Answer" button if you are satisfied with the support that I provided. Thank you again.

Hi Ken,

Thank you so much for the detailed reply and the links, I really appreciate it.

I do plan to migrate to a two-core device (F28379D) and your heads-up on the different pin-mapping will definitely help.

Thanks again!
