Hi TIer

My customer has just started debugging MCF8316A and his EVM board, and I want to make sure,

1. what tool should we use to debug, program EEPROM? Do we have tutorials?

2. For the I2C interface of the chip, can we read all the motor parameters and control the start-stop motor?

3. How our motor parameter extraction tool, MPET, is used？

4. Is it not possible for the I2C interface to modify the FOC parameters while the motor is running, but only through EEPROM programming?

Hi Yuxi Liu,

1. Use Motor Studio - Download from ti,com

2. Yes. using GUI and EVM we can read all the parameter (Tuning registers)

3. We are making short tech note, this will be released soon. You can refer to the recent webinar link https://ti.webex.com/ti/ldr.php?RCID=86fc0fff8d2726818542635fb5353db8

4. We can modify many parameter except(Motor parameters (R, L,KE), PWM switching frequency, Gate Drivers). General recommendation is to stop the motor and make changes

Thanks and Best Regards
