TMS320F28379D: C2000 Connectivity

Sam Ref
Expert 1610 points

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

Hello,

For our large project we decided to use TMS320F28379D MCU

We bought several Launch Pads and several development boards.

The issue now is ease of connectivity during the long development stage.

On one hand the launch pad provides clean way to connect to the MCU pin. However, we cannot access every pin of the MCU, which is something we need to do.

On the other hand, the development board allows us to access each pin of the MCU via the docking station baseboard. However we cannot find proper multi-pin connector to connect to the pins of that docking station. Without connectors the result is a mess of wires.

Are you able to advise us of connector(s) model number that can be connect to the pins of the docking station base board or be soldered to that docking station base board?

Picture if available would be great.

Regards

Sam

    Hi Sam,

    The Docking Station (and several other C2000 Evaluation kits) contain the controlCARD connector.

    You can find the Bill Of Materials for the HSEC-based Docking Station board in C2000Ware at:
    \C2000Ware_X_XX_XX_XX\boards\ExperimenterKits\DockingStation_ HSEC_120or180pin\
    or in controlSUITE at:
    \controlSUITE\development_kits\~ExperimentersKits\120or180pin_HSEC_DockingStn-HWdevPkg_v1_1\R4_1\

    The following E2E thread may also be helpful for you:

    Please be aware that LaunchPads and controlCARDs are not designed to be used directly in a customer's end-product, as mentioned in TI's EVM disclaimer notes.  With this, they may not be tested as rigorously as desired for your application & may not meet the various product standards that you'd need to design for.  That being said, they're perfectly suitable for learning, experimentation/research, and for use in prototypes.


    Thank you,
    Brett
