Compiler/TMS320F28379D: PWM is not working in Flash Standalone but working in Flash Debug mode

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I am using C2000 controller for motor control application. CPU1 is used for Motor control, ADC, Motor feedback and protection application while CPU2 is used for communication.

During development stage Flash Debug mode was used for debugging. After testing and  freezing of code when we use Flash standalone mode it has been observed that Motor is not rotating since PWM pulses are not getting release.

Is there any setting needs to be done in .cmd file somewhere else which I am missing?

Regards,

Vasim

  • Due to holidays, you can expect a response in the fir week of January 2020.

  • Vasim,

    Did you confirm that application started executing from Flash in standalone mode? Do you have boot mode pins configured for Flash boot?

    Please check if you have any content mapped to RAM in your linker cmd file.  All initialized sections should be mapped to Flash for load and copied to RAM at run time.

    Thanks and regards,

    Vamsi

  • Hi Vamsi,

    Application is getting started in standalone, since LED toggling, Communication is happening.

    Linker file are attached

  • Vasim,

    Do you have any IPC communication between the two cores?  If yes, did you check if there is any difference in the code (# defines, # if else etc.) between debug and standalone builds around that code? 

    If you have IPC communication between the two cores, please toggle a GPIO or use some other mechanism to know whether both cores went past through that or not.  I am wondering if the core is waiting on the other core. Please check.

    Thanks and regards,

    Vamsi 

  • Hi Vamsi,

    Yes both cores were working since data is getting updated, shared and it can be viewed on terminal.

     Got the solution to  problem.  Issue was related to Hardware which was causing trouble. One Hardware Latch was used for disabling PWM pulses in case of failure. This latch was not getting reset so PWM pulses were not coming. Just before start of application we deliberately reset the latch and checked it was working fine but this issue never came in Flash_Debug mode.

    Thanks for your support.
