CCS/DRV8303EVM: Issue with CCS Target Configuration to TMSF28035

Part Number: DRV8303EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, CC430F5123

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I recently purchased a DRV8303EVM, and my goal is to program the on-board F28035 Microcontroller so that I can run my PMSM Motor using vector FOC.

I am trying to configure CCS's Target Configuration so that I can look at the example projects that come with ControlSUITE. I am following the instructions in the User Guide. However, when it comes to selecting the connection and device, I am unable to find the Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Emulator, and therefore cannot select the TMSF28035 device. Please see snapshots at bottom for clarity.

I suspect the cause may be the device driver not installing properly. On checking the device manager, I see two ports installed (please see highlights in 3rd snapshot below). Is this normal?

Thanks in advance for the help!

    At some point the term "Emulator" got renamed to "Debug Probe" in CCS.

    Therefore, you should select "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe" as the Connection.

  • If you look at the second image on the right: when I select "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe", it does not show any device. Any further suggestions?

    Thanks.

    The image also shows that a CC430F5123 device is selected. The CC430F5123 isn't supported by a "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe", which may partially explain why there are no devices shown. On a CCS 7 installation for which all the product families were installed I can't repeat the empty device list when a "Texas Instruments XDS100v1 USB Debug Probe" is selected.

    When CCS was installed was the "C2000 real-time MCUs" product family selected to be installed?

    If support for the "C2000 real-time MCUs" wasn't installed that may explain why the device list is empty. In which case you should be able to re-run the CCS installer, selecting the existing CCS installation directory, and then use the installer to add support for the "C2000 real-time MCUs" product family.

  • YES: the problem was I had not selected "C2000 real-time MCUs" back when I 1st installed CCS. I had not kept the original installation file, so I had to uninstall and reinstall CCS (could not re-run the installation). However doing so (this time selected C2000) solved the problem.

    Thanks a lot for your help Chester!
