DRV8412-C2-KIT troubleshooting

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28035, CONTROLSUITE

Good afternoon,


I have a DRV8412-C2-KIT,  I connected all as described in the Quick styart guide, but I have a failure.

First of all, the GUI  DRV8412GUIv9.exe  communicates with the board
(When the board is not powered, the indicator 'Fault status' on the GUI is grey, when the board is connected, the indicator 'Fault status' on the GUI is green)

but although I have 24V volts on the board (and the LD3 of the board is correctly blinking red), the indicator on the 'DC bus' indicator on the GUI remains grey?

and then the motor do not spin

Thanks in advance for your help

  • Hi Rick,

    Many thanks for your answer.
    I understand that I have to reload  DRV8412GUIv9.out  in the board

    I have load CCSv5 from the web
    - Is that OK or should I use CCSv4 absolutely ?

    I tried to load DRV8412GUIv9.out with CCSv5,

    but  I have a license problem

    .I understood to load an out file in a development kit I did not need to have a license?

    Thanks in advance for your answer

  • Stephane,

    You target configuration is not correct. For DRV8412-kit, you should choose TMS320F28035 as target and Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator, as explained in How to run guide.
