TIDM-1007: Is there a way to transfer the code from 280049 to 28379?

Part Number: TIDM-1007
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDM-1000, POWERSUITE

I understand that the code is designed to work on the 280049 control card. But we have already had the 28379 control card on hand. Is there a way to transfer the code from 280049 to 28379?

I tried to run the code on the 28379 control card directly, but the code was stuck at the following line:

while(HWREG(CLKCFG_BASE + SYSCTL_O_X1CNT) > 0x1FFU)
{
HWREG(CLKCFG_BASE + SYSCTL_O_X1CNT) |= SYSCTL_X1CNT_CLR;
}

which is in file: sysctl.c

Thank you.

Hi,

You can not use the code from F280049 to F28379 as it is. F280049 is new device and have some additional features not available on F29379 device hence you have to make some modification to the code.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Can you elaborate on 'some modification'? Is it a huge effort or something that can be managed?

Is there any reference I can look up?

Thank you.

Hi,

It should not be huge effort but I'll let Manish Bhardwaj reply on effort/reference wrt TIDM-1007 reference design.

The design follows our architecture guide for the SDK which enables easy porting between devices.

The line you are stuck at is because that is a device specific function, I will recommend you replace all the device related files with one from a solution that is running F2837x , for example TIDM-1000.

Also the protection code will need some changes, as certain registers are not defined in F2837x.

I'll be honest, ordering F28004x control card may be an easy way out, unless you totally have to use F2837x.

I will say you can compared TIDM-1000 files for F28004x and F2837x to get an idea of which files can be re-used and which cannot be.

Also i will do all of the changes with non powerSUITE project, because we do not allow changes to powerSUITE by customers, and a new device means some changes to the powerSUITE.

Thank you for your reply.

I guess I will just buy a 280049 control card for initial implementation.

But in the end I may need to use a different controller and still going through the code change.

Thank you for your help.

Sure, and by then you will be better familiar with the software and it will be easy to port. If you look at it, simply porting without being familiar with the code it is challenging.Once you are familiar with the code, then porting is easy and the architecture of the code supports it.

Good luck with your project.
