F28E120SC: Unable to set-up Motorcontrol SDK (v6.0) with CCS

Part Number: F28E120SC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8323

Hi Experts,

Customer is planning to implement F28E120SC for Instaspin FOC application with DRV8323.

Downloaded the MOTORCONTROL-SDK (version 6.00.00.00), however, unable to view them in CCS. See below transcript from customer:

I have this version of motor control SDK install but CSS is not importing. I tried in version 20.4 as well as 21 but of no use. I am attaching the image of what I have tried.

I had tried by adding proper paths where the 6.0 version of Motorcontrol SDK is present. Additionally when I check the resource explorer even in the latest ccs(21.0) it shows the version 5.04 as the latest motor control SDK.

One more thing I manually tried finding F28E12 related code for Instaspin FOC in the Motorcontrol SDK installation area, but other than some libraries, I am unable to find them. 

For your further assistance. Thank you.

Regards,
Archie A.

  • Hi Archie,

    I think for product discovery-path, since it is in the same folder as motor control sdk 5.4.00.00, you shouldn't need to add any additional product discovery-paths. If refreshing the discovered products does not work, then another way to discover the product is by importing an example code into ccs and that should add the product to your discovered products list

    For F28E120SC, the project is located in solutions/sensorless_motor_control_syscfg folder. It is sysconfig-based motor control project which auto generates the code for you. Then you can eject the project by importing the project from the CPU1_FLASH folder to create a standalone motor control project. 

    Regards,
