Part Number: TMS320F28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F28379D, TMDSCNCD28379D, TMDSCNCD28388D

One of my customers is interested in if we have TMS320F28388D evaluation boards with EMIF1 or EMIF2 connectors. Do we have any development boards with these connectors or the ability to interface with these connectors?

    Hi Jacob,

    We have this app note which you can refer for this.

    Hi Vivek,

    That app note looks very useful! Thank you for sharing!

    Do we have any EVMs or demo boards that come with a pre-exisitng EMIF connector or would adding that interface be something the customer would need to do themselves?

    Thanks,

    Jacob

    EMIF connections are included on the LAUNCHXL-F28379D and TMDSCNCD28379D EVMs.  The connection is not included on the F2838x EVMs.

    F2838x is considered to be a mostly pin-compatible enhancement of F2837x so the EMIF capabilities can be evaluated on F2837x.  The differentiating focus for TMDSCNCD28388D was on EtherCAT, which made support for EMIF cost prohibitive on the EVM.

    The appnote describes an EMIF daughtercard reference design for the F2837x EVMs that can be built by the customer.
