BQ76PL455EVM: bq76pl455evm - Programming Microcontroller

Part Number: BQ76PL455EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28379D

Hello,

I am planning to use BQ76PL455 EVM module with a microcontroller. I have seen that in reference document as micro-controller unit TMS570 has been used. But since I have Delfino 27389d Launch Pad and since it has a Matlab model, I want to use it with BQ76PL455EVM.

1. Can I use Delfino 28379d Launch Pad with BQ776PL455EVM ?

2. What configurations do I need to do on sample code ?

3. Does TMS570 has a Matlab model ?

Thanks.

  • Hi Yusuf,

    The only example code we offer is using the TMS570 in Code Composer Studio here: https://www.ti.com/product/BQ76PL455A-Q1/toolssoftware. If you want to use a different launchpad, you will need to work with the mcu support team to help port over the code or write it from scratch using our Software Design reference guide. We also do not provide a matlab model, sorry for any inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Taylor

  • You can use MathWorks tools with TMS570.  The normal work flow is to do your algorithm design and simulation in MATLAB & Simulink, and then use code generation to convert your algorithm into C code. Then you import that C code into an existing CCS project an deploy using CCS.

  • Dear Brian,

    Which embedded adds-on or hardware package do I have to install. I have used TMS320F28379d Launch Pad with Matlab Simulink by installing an adds-on related with C2000 microprocessors. Will I be able to do the same thing with TMS570? Which package do I need to install ?

    Thanks.

  • For C2000, you need the MathWorks C2000 Support Package. More info and links.

    We do not have a custom TMS570 solution. To program a TMS570, you would do your algorithm design and simulation with MATLAB & Simulink, generate C code for that algorithm, and import the C Code into an existing CCS project. Then you deploy and debug with CCS.

    There is an old RM48 Processor-in-the-loop solution built by an engineer at TI - who has since moved on to a different group - it may or may not work for TMS570.

    HTH,

  • Hi Brian , Thanks for your time.

    I am using some Simulink models in order to program F28379d Piccolo launch pad. You can see that there is simulink block box for related chips on the attachment. 

    Also I have installed Simulink adds-on for TMS570 but I could not find any block box for TMS570. How can I program TMS570 without making block diagram ?

    Thanks.

  • A Support Package / Blockset (like C2000) for does not exist for TMS570

    There are no plans / roadmap at TI or MathWorks to build one.

    If you need this, you'd have to build one yourself or discuss with MathWorks Consulting as a paid project ($$).

    Cheers,

    -Brian
