TMS320F28379D: Programming on EEPROM

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE, TMDSCNCD28379D, CONTROLSUITE

Hello Everyone,

I am working on a high power converter drive system and using TMS320F28379D HSEC 180 based ControlCard to generate the pulses. I want the controller to be standalone and not plugged in to any system. 

The pulses should start when the controller is powered up. I have the CCS program ready and can download it onto the controller.

I think I would require the program to be loaded onto the EEPROM. 

Can anybody provide me any documentation regarding the hardware/software requirements and the required steps to implement?

Thank you in advance. 

  • Soham,

    Are you asking for the steps required to program the flash? The programmable on-chip memory block is flash, not EEPROM. If so, perhaps see the step for the flash lab exercise (module 10) in the following workshop:

    I hope this helps. If this answers your question, please click the green "Verified Answer" button. Thanks.

  • Thanks for the reference. I can now program on flash. However I want my code to be run when I power up my control card.

    When control card is connected through the docking station HSEC 180, on connecting to a PC through USB (only powering on the controller through PC) , the code on flash works.

    Now I have a board on which control card is mounted and I manually supply +5V DC, the control card shows its LEDs being powered. However the code is not run. I need to again program it through CCS and then when I disconnect the control card from PC, the code works with the +5V supply being on.

    Can it I run get the code to work, on just powering the controller (externally, NOT through PC)? I have the voltage regulator and external power circuit on the board the control card is mounted. All the controller LEDs signifying the controller to be powered on do show the same.

    I am using that controller to test a high power application for which the control card with the board will be inside a faraday cage.
  • Soham,

    Please see the controlCARD Information Guide for the proper switch settings -
