Hello Everyone!
Just received the New C2000 Launchpad which is equipped with TMS320F28069M controller.
The following being the advantages over previous launchpad controller (TMS320F28027/F)
1. Faster (90 MHz)
2. Has a Floating point Unit and Viterbi, Complex Math & CRC Accelerator
3. Has a CLA (equipped with 32-Bit Floating-Point Math Accelerator)
4. More peripherals
5. More Memory (RAM & Flash)
-> and the launchpad is truly XL in size if compared to previous launchpad which I feel is M in size :)
So, immediately after unpacking I went through the Quick Starter's Guide
Now I wanted to run the Out-of-box Demo mentioned in the same guide. Something different though.... In short it is Temperature based LED & its Intensity Control.
As mentioned in the Guide, when I decreased the temperature of the controller the Blue light lit and when it warmed up the intensity of Red light started increasing. But when I wanted to monitor the temperature on Hyper Terminal, I couldn't... because my Device Manager did not have any COM PORT assigned to the kit.
But the XDS100 drivers did get installed without any issues.
Immediately, I plugged in the F28027 based C2000 launchpad and Device Manager instantly assigned COM34 to it.
Which meant there's something going wrong with the F28069M Launchpad or my board jumper configuration. (This point is still open!)
I'd previously used F28069 based controlStick which is one of my favorite tool! Hence I know this controller very well.
Later will try out example codes present in the controlSuite and few of the custom codes I'd developed then for controlStick.
C2000 Launchpad-XL needed to arrive as the previous launchpad seemed like for beginners/new C2000 entrants with less feature set.
THANK YOU C2000 Team for working on this much awaited launchpad!
Note: Don't forget to update your controlSuite for the board design files.

Another feature compared to previous C2000 LP (F28027/F) is that this LP can run with 2 booster packs independently (it has 2 sockets for attaching 2 booster pack). Have you tried it yet, Gautam?
Nice post!
Best regards,
Maria
Hi Jake,
I'm sure its worth the wait :)
Have fun and do share your experience here.

HI
The LP really seems to be good move by TI team.
I would too like to work with it.

Hello,
I also can't make it recognized.
I checked the schematic, but still no clue (maybe something wrong in the MUX selection schematic).
I think we will get the answer this week. Be patience.

Sorry for the delay folks. I think the issue is that you just need to enable the COM port. Check out the Project 0 video where I explain this step of the setup:

[Mod edit: Note that this specific step is around the 2:50 timestamp]

Hello Trey German289,
In energia website, it is mentioned that:
Note: Support for the F28069M LaunchPad is currently available in the Energia Github and will be released as part of the next distribution.
I went to its github and don't know how to find this support.
Edit: I found the support but don't know what to do with this. Or maybe just need to wait until the next release?
Can you explain? Because in the video it is not mentioned how to include F28069M LP board to energia.
I have installed the latest version of energia and it is currently still support F28027 only, no F28069M.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Maria
Maria,
Support is in the C2000 branch in the energia repository on the github website:
https://github.com/energia/Energia/tree/C2000
The release dates for the LaunchPad and Energia didn't align which is why the board isn't supported in the current distribution. There is a release planned very soon which will incorporate support for this LaunchPad into the normal Energia installation.
Its not too difficult to build Energia from the sources if you really want to give it a try now. These instructions are what I used to get started:

BR,
Though meant for F28069 experimenter's kit... you can refer this workshop:

Yes, but the first time that I tried to use the example, I got these errors:
When I manually added the path where the files were, the compilation was OK, but the debug asked for the target configuration. I created the target configuration file, but the debug did not connect. So I thought: the target configuration file was wrong. I checked again but there are no other option.
Then I changed to this configuration:
and the result was my first post
Thanks

Hello Andres,
That's great!
But indeed something is not correct in this example.
I got the same error about the IQMath lib path and FPU lib path from the first compiling.
I checked the resources properties, and all looks fine. But it is strange that the other tabs don't use it well.
So I need to put the fix paths, not the relative paths.
You faced the same problem, right?
Best regards,
Maria
I also have the same problem again...
Would you please give me some more comment about this capture('Edit Variable' window) how I should type in that edit window...?

Can you be more specific about what you're seeking? If possible can you paste the screenshot?

I have fixed that problem by changing C2000 compiler's and C2000 linker's paths in the project's 'Properties' window.
Now, I have one warning left. That is, "This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 6.1.0 [C2000]. Another version of the compiler will be used during build: 6.4.3. Please go to <a href="liveaction:OpenAppCenter">CCS App Center</a> to install the compiler of the required version, or migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties. Example_2806xLaunchPad properties Problems"
Maybe some advice will be helpful than doing just any action for that...
"Example_2806xLaunchPad" project.
If there is any method of changing the properties (version) of this example project, maybe the project's version will become newer one...
If not, it is O.K. for now and I will go forward other programming procedure.,,^^
Never know about that. Maybe you can ask in CCS forum.
Btw, did you success to install and change the compiler version?
No, but there is no need to correct that warning, I think.
Later, If I make my own projects, there will be no warnings that concerning about compiler's version..
Thank you so much~ ^^
