Compiler/C2000WARE: C2000 EXPERIMENTER KIT design

Part Number: C2000WARE
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSCNCD28035, TMDSCNCD28035ISO, TMDSHSECDOCK

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi All,

I trying ti design the C2000 experimenter kit/ Docking station using the Revised 3 schematic. In the schematic there are two boot pins. For 2803xx boot 3*3 pin headers required and For 2833xx boot 3*4 pin headers required. In both case I did't find any connection for the first column pins. Is it really connected with the control card or DIMM-100? Image attached (Red marked Column)

Your help is appreciated.

    Ashik,

    I cannot see your Image, please re attach. The latest revision of F2833x controlCARD is 2.2 and that does not use jumpers for its boot mode configuration, it uses switches.

    It is unclear what you mean by "2803xx" are you talking about F2803x? If so, which version "TMDSCNCD28035ISO" or "TMDSCNCD28035"? I dont see any jumpers which control the boot mode here either.

    Regards,
    Cody

    In the attached design there is a section named "Boot for F2833x" and "Boot for F280xx".

    I want to implement this part in my customized designed docking station.

    But I didn't find any physical connection of column 3 of pin headers( Pins at the edge of the board). I would request you to1537.USBDockingStation_Schematic [R3].pdf match the schematic with pcb.

    Hi Ashik,

    This extra 'column' does indeed connect to nothing.  It was just intended to give the user a place to put their spare jumper when they didn't want to pull the boot pin low.

    Hopefully this helps!

    Please be aware that the DIMM100-based Docking Station supports controlCARDs for older device families.  Those devices are absolutely still valid for usage & designs, but there are newer device families with more features & capabilities - such as the F28379D or F280025C.  

    From a component standpoint, the DIMM100 connector itself is becoming harder to find.  This might also give you a reason to consider building your custom baseboard around a newer device family.

    Note that newer devices have their controlCARDs, like that F28379D controlCARD, based on the HSEC connector & its Docking Station baseboard (TMDSHSECDOCK).


    Thank you,
    Brett
