TMS320F28377S: C2000 rosserial driver

Part Number: TMS320F28377S


Hi experts,

My customers want to communicate in rosserial(robot operating system's serial communication) between the ROS-equipped host PC and the C2000.
Is there a sample program for the rosserial driver using the C2000 SCI?
If not, are there any plans to be offered in the future?

Best regards,
Sasaki

  • Hi Sasaki,

    Unfortunately at this time we do not have rosserial drivers for the C2000 SCI. I am not familiar with the details of rosserial, but as long as the serial communication packets are themselves conforming to the SCI/UART protocol standards (for bit timings, widths, etc.), then C2000 communications with rosserial should be easily possible. A wrapper would need be implemented at that point. This of course would require the data rates to be within the C2000's baud rate limits/configurability, but it should be possible.

    Let me know if this clarifies this for you!

    Regards,

    Vince

    Thank you for your reply.

    I think so too.
    I will contact my customers to investigate and implement the rosseral protocol.
