PGA450-Q1: development tools

Part Number: PGA450-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PGA460-Q1, PGA460, MSP-EXP430F5529LP, BOOSTXL-PGA460

Software development guide for PGA450 mentions using Keil C51 Development Tool for 8051 devices.  Can we use other 8051 development systems like IAR Workbench instead?

Thanks

    Hi Viktorija,

    Yes, the PGA450-Q1's 8051 development can also be done in IAR Workbench instead of Keil C51. Note, we have only experience with and used Keil C51 for our TI based examples.

    May I ask why you are using the old PGA450-Q1 instead of the newer PGA460-Q1? The PGA460-Q1 offers improved performance, lower cost, and a smaller package than the PGA450-Q1. The PGA460-Q1 does not include an integrated MCU, and uses a digital state machine instead, so it is easier to program/configure.

    You can read more about the PGA460-Q1 and other newer devices in the Ultrasonic E2E FAQ: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/748143

    Thanks, Akeem. They are still int he decision stage, and will consider the PGA460. 

    Which EVM would you recommend they start with? 

    I see w have a few reference designs, but if you have other guidance - I would be intersted.

    Thanks

    Hi Viktorija,

    The BOOSTXL-PGA460 EVM is my recommended evaluation platform for PGA460-Q1 development because it includes the one-wire transceiver circuit used to evaluate the automotive targeted Time Command Interface (TCI) and One-Wire UART (OWU) interface options available on the PGA460-Q1. Note, they will also need the MSP-EXP430F5529LP to fully evaluate the EVM.
