I have the DRV8301 Kit with the F28069 MCU. I am looking to re-compile the initial firmware in CCS onto the MCU. Where might I find the firmware initially embedded as part of the kit.

Hi Aaron,
Are you talking about the Insta-SPIN-FOC and Insta-SPIN-MOTION software? If so, you can find this software at http://www.ti.com/tool/motorware?DCMP=c2000&HQS=motorware
Sincerely,
John
Hi John,
Although this kit does use the InstaSPIN-MOTION, I already have the motorware software. I am looking to compile the firmware that was on the MCU back on to the MCU. I feet that it may be in motorware or in control suite but I cannot find it.
Thanks,
Aaron
Aaron,
See if this might help. Open code composer studio. Go to project, and then Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project. Then Browse. Then go Computer>Windows(C:)>TI>ControlSUITE>development_kits>DRV830x-HC-C2-KIT_v104. This will give the projects avalible to import. From here choose the project you need, and flash it to the mcu.
Sincerely,
John
Aaron,
Sorry I missed this. You may want to ask SW type questions on the InstasSPIN forum. I get those emailed directly to me.
There is no SW loaded onto the controlCARD.
If you use the GUI it loads the .out in the same folder where the .exe resides. This project is built to load into RAM only, so once power is removed it is gone.
The project used to build this .out is not given out because it is very complex and doesn't meet the standards of MotorWare (it's a project that grew over a couple years as we built InstaSPIN). It also has some limitations that can be bypassed by moving to the MotorWare projects, which unfortunately don't have a GUI to allow easy instrumenting to the variables.
Hopefully this post on the InstaSPIN forum will help guide your development:

Scott,
I have no idea what you are trying to execute. None of that looks familiar.
Please be clear about what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to run the GUI InstaSPIN_MOTION_F2806xM.exe ?
Are you trying to build a MotorWare project in CCS?
Chris Clearman,
I was trying to compile the Sys_server. but the error occoured when I was compiling the Sys_server in the RDK5.1.
the erroe is as below:
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/IPNC_RDK/Source/ipnc_rdk/ipnc_app/sys_server# ls
boot_proc inc Makefile src
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/IPNC_RDK/Source/ipnc_rdk/ipnc_app/sys_server# make
Making all in subdirectory src...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/IPNC_RDK/Source/ipnc_rdk/ipnc_app/sys_server/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/*.h', needed by `release/alarm_main.o'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/IPNC_RDK/Source/ipnc_rdk/ipnc_app/sys_server/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/IPNC_RDK/Source/ipnc_rdk/ipnc_app/sys_server#
I was stuck on this error for a long time . pls give some tips on how to solve this problem. your prompt answers will be highly appreciated . thank you!!!!!
Scott, I have no idea what sys_server is. It has nothing to do with
DRV8301-HC-C2-KIT(F28069M) firmware
IPNC_RDK appears to be something to do with a Davinci / DSP processor?
Chris Clearman,
thanks for your response. yeah, actually, It is something to do with a Davinci/Dsp processor. thank you once again.
