TMDSDCDCLEDKIT

Hi,

Can you give a bit more detail on the issue that you are facing.

The Quick Start Guide document for this kit can be found at the following path once controlSUITE is installed:
\controlSUITE\development_kits\Lighting_DCDC_v2.2\~GUI\QSG-Lighting_DCDC.pdf


Thank you,
Brett

Hello Brett,

                        Thank you for your kind response I can't connect my kit with GUI. I have followed each and every step provided in QSG provided, CONTROL SUIT and CCS installed. But couldn't connect with GUI. Screen shots are attached!!! If you can help

Thanks

Hi,

Comments:
1) If you click "Connect" in the GUI, what happens? 
2) When you try and connect, on the LED backlighting motherboard, are both LD2 and [M2]-LD1 lit?  (this determines if the kit is being powered fully)
3) When the kit is connected and powered, do you see a new "USB Serial Port" listed under "Ports (COM & LPT)" in Windows Device Manager (versus when you don't have the cables connected)?
4) Does LD3 on the controlCARD blink about once every second when the board is powered?


Thank you,
Brett

1) When I click connect the following screen appears 

2) [M2]-LD1 and [M1]-LD1 and [M1]-LD2 turns on as shown

3) Under ports (com & LPT) USB serial port (COM 7) appears as shown 

4) LD3 on control card does not blink only LD1 turns on as shown

Looking forward for you kind response

Thanks 

Hi MW,

OK, it appears that Windows and the drivers are working correctly.  It also appears that you've set up the board (and the various jumpers) correctly.

===

At this point, I suspect that you may have received a controlCARD which was not programmed with code which talks with the GUI.  Please see the following E2E thread.
https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/t/57174

NOTE: I would recommend using the Lighting Kit's GUI and software found inside controlSUITE (instead of any code found inside the kit's USB stick):
\controlSUITE\development_kits\Lighting_DCDC_v2.2\~GUI\

Hopefully this helps!


Thank you,
Brett

Thank u Brett!

I followed the pdf guide "How to: Flash the DC/DC LED Lighting Kit’s F28035 controlCARD so that it works with the GUI" Till step#7 every thing ok but for step#8 the following window appears and I can not import the project

need your advice!

Looking forward for your kind response

Hi MW,

You'll need to install controlSUITE, if you haven't already:
http://www.ti.com/tool/controlsuite


Thank you,
Brett

By default, controlSUITE gets installed into C:\TI\controlSUITE\

From there you'd follow the path mentioned.

If you installed controlSUITE into a custom directory, you'll need to look there.

Hello Brett,

Thank u for ur cooperation now I m having this error 

Looking forward for ur kind response

Thanks

Based on the image you posted in your previous post (from 21July), it appears that the project was not able to compile correctly.  I say this because it looks like you have red text in the console window which is underneath the "Error" dialog box. 

If I am correct, what compiler errors are you seeing?


Thank you,
Brett

Hello Brett,

                      I have recently installed CCS v6 from TI website as someone suggested that I was using older version, when I use Target configuration I see "Texas Instruments XDS100V1 USB Debub Probe" instead of "Texas Instruments XDS100V1 USB Emulator"  as shown in the attachment below!

Are they same can I start with it or not?

Thanks

Hi,

Correct, they are the same. In newer versions of CCS they changed the name to 'Debug Probe'.


Thank you,
Brett
