CCS/AM4379: AM437x Industrial Developmment Kit

Hi,

Here is a link to a video describing a motor control demo on the AM437 IDK.

The development environment depends on the OS used on the processor. When using Linux then you will need a PC that is running Linux as a stand-alone system or a running inside of an emulator like vmware.

Do you have a specific question about the OS choices? The video above is describing the demo using an RTOS for the system OS.

Best Regards,

Schuyler

Hi Schuyler,

i just want to load the project in CCS and have a look at the sources.

Hi,

I will need to check with a colleague on where the sources are in the RTOS SDK, there appear to be two directories. 

Best Regards,

Schuyler

So what must i do, that anyone can help me ?

Where is the example for MotorControl ?

Hi Peter,

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I think you will find this thread very helpful. Please review it in detail for a good overview of our availability and some good resources.

As to the software, you can find it here.

https://www.ti.com/tool/PRU-ICSS-INDUSTRIAL-SW

Please understand that this was released a couple of years ago and will serve as a good reference. For looking at code like you are requesting, it is a great start. To implement it in a product, you should plan to update it or integrate the necessary components into the latest software packages.

Thank you.

Hi RonB,

is really CodeComposer V8 ccsv8 required to create the Project ?

File: C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-Industrial_Drives_01.00.02.03\examples\motor_control\projects\projectCreate.bat

::Set CCS installation directory path(Mandatory) - The path where folder 'eclipse' is located
set "CCS_INSTALL_DIR=C:\ti\ccsv8"

Is it also working for CodeComposer V930 ccsv930 ?

Hi RonB,

here are some more settings

So i need exactly all these versions of the tools or can i use newer one ?

Hi RonB,

one last thing you can tell me...

i also wanted to create the project file and load it in CodeComposerStudio.

So the first thing i have to do is install the old tools refereneced in projectCreate.bat.

After that i can create the 'old' Project file.

right ???

The next step is to update every tool, change the projectCreate.bat and check if the project is still working ?

right ????

Has any person done this before ?

cheer and Thank You !

Yes, that method is incremental and valid. It may be a bit tedious.

You could also study the sources and start a new project based on the current tools and adapt the sources this way. 

I don't know if anyone has successfully ported this demo to the latest tools. I can't think of any reason it should not be possible, but I also have not tested it. 

Thanks.
