GUI composer capability

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

I have the C2000 board connected to a PC host computer through USB.  I am using GUI composer  for motorware on the PC side.   I have 2 questions:

-           Can we adapt the GUI composer to  support CAN communication and Ethernet communication ? and how to do it?

-          The GUI template runs with Motorware. Our platform is different:  we have a command processor (Master) which communicate and command  3 Motor processors (slaves).   Can we adapt the GUI composer to run with the command processor and not directly with the motors through Motorware as illustrated in the TI example?

 Thank you.

    What you'll be able to achieve is enabling/disabling the communication, monitoring the data etc... in short whichever variables in code you need to control.

    Go through the example for implementation: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:GUI_Composer

    GUI composer has lot of limitations and the above TI motorware GUIs are custom made and do not use GUI composer (user) to create them. You'll surely get to know more once you start working on the same.

    We don't have support for CAN and Ethernet for GUI Composer at this moment.

    If you are using JTAG, you should be able to communicate between the host and the device by specifying the core that you want GUI Composer to read/write memory. There are couple ways of doing this, either by setting up the ccxml file to bypass all cores except the Master core or exeplicitly specify the core you want to bound in the binding tab in GUI Composer.

    If you are using USB, you will have to provide your target monitor to send data through the USB channel for the host to read/write.
