CCS/DRV8847EVM: DRV8847x Reference Software Development Package

Part Number: DRV8847EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8847SEVM, DRV8847, CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

There was a section 3.3 in the DRV8847EVM and DRV8847SEVM Software User's Guide detailing the "DRV8847x Reference Software Development Package" and that in order "To get access to this package, contact the DRV8847 applications team or the respective field sales engineer." I have tried TI support but I think we were on the wrong page. What I was trying to do is use the DRV8847EVM to provide motor function to my stepper motor. I have a CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL which is the TI Launchpad kit with simplelink wifi MCU which I want to use in a board design that needs to work with the DRV8847. The user guide details that there was a way to import projects into code composer studio which the Launchpad uses as well. I was hoping either someone could help me find the reference software development package or maybe a resource that can show me how to make my own program that can be exported to code composer studio.

    Hi Michael,

    You can download the software files from the DRV8847EVM product page (https://www.ti.com/tool/DRV8847EVM) If you scroll down you'll find the download links for the hardware software files and the GUI software files. Once you have the software files downloaded, you'll have to download Code Composer Studio and import the DRV8847EVM software project. From there, the device target needs to be changed from the MCU onboard the EVM to the new external MCU you want to use. Of course, some of the code might be different between the two MCUs so you'll have to modify the code for the external MCU. The resource explorer in dev.ti.com has very good reference code examples for many TI MCUs.

    Michael,

    After download the EVM software from https://www.ti.com/tool/DRV8847EVM and unzip it, you can find "DRV8847EVM FW" folder. That is the EVM MSP430's source code. You can use TI code composer studio to open it.

    J1 is the connector to support the communication between code composer studio and on board MSP430 via a launch pad. I just made a short introduction:Launch pad connection.docx. The launch pad may have been updated from the MSP430 team on the connector. You may search the e2e forum to see what is the connector update? Or contact MSP430 team for launch pad update.
