C28x™ Digital Power Supply Workshop, can't get the lab tutorials to work with a LaunchPad F28027



I found this brilliant set of tutorials called "C28x™ Digital Power Supply Workshop"

Unfortunately they were written for an older version of Code Composer.

When I imported the PJT file it compiled OK but when I run it it gives the following error "No source available for 0x3ff5f5"

When I try and debug it I cant see what the problem is because I get the following error "Memory map prevented reading..."

I checked that I had the correct GEL file "F28027.gel" which I believe is the correct memory mapping file for my processor.

The labs were written for C2000 controllers so I cant think what the problem is.

I have checked the memory area that is being accessed when it halts and it seems to be an area of Boot ROM.

I can't think why these tutorials would be retired when they offer so much that current tutorials don't.

A single tutorial which allows you to experiment with the C2000 and all the well known power topologies, exactly what I wanted.

You can select 4 different Power Supply topologies and use on screen sliders to see how the control signals effect the circuit.

What more could you ask for ? There aren't any other tutorial or labs that achieve this, why on earth were they retired ?

I purchased a LaunchPad F28027 and discovered that other than a few examples none of the other labs or tutorials would compile without needing to be modified. I have now gone and purchased the top of the range dual core F28377D just so I can run the tutorials and example code without having to modify them first.

  • OK after more research I see this has been replaced by "C2000 Digital Power Training Kit" but it only uses a Buck Converter and it requires a F28035 MCU. And there isn't a Launchpad for that MCU.
    It makes more sense to have your training material centred around your LaunchPads and not be limited to a single power supply topology, the original labs achieved this and the new ones don't.
    I'd also like to see more stuff that helps you innovate with the features that sets the TI gear above the rest and less OUT OF THE BOX solutions.
  • F28035 has an experimenter's kit to play with. Experimenter's kits are advanced with more peripherals to play with.
