TMS320F28377S: Target Not Communicating with GUI Composer v2

Part Number: TMS320F28377S

Hello,

I am attempting to use GUI Composer v2 with my C2000 microprocessor . I have attached a screenshot of my Target Communication settings. When I click Connect, it gets to "waiting for data.." and does not get past that. I have the microprocessor connected to my computer via USB.

Thank You.

  • Do you have a program running on the F28377S sending data over UART? GUI Composer is waiting on data being sent over the COM port.

    There is a tutorial here that shows more on how the USB-UART model works:
    dev.ti.com/.../index.html

    That tutorial is for a different device but the concept is the same. You program sends data over the UART and then GUI Composer is configured to interpret and display it.

    If you are not sending data over UART then you may wish to look at the XDS model instead where GUI Composer will use the debug probe to read and write data.

    There is a short introduction to GUI Composer here:

  • Thanks John,

    I did look at the XDS model and decided to use that instead. However now my issue is that my graphs will not populate with data. I am using the line graph widget to graph two arrays. When I export my program as a stand alone app, the graph shows the two arrays as being populated with zeros's. Also, typically when I run my program from CCS, a blue led will blink on my launch pad while the program is running. When I open the program exported from GUI Composer, the blue led will blink for a couple seconds and then stop, which makes me think that the program stops running which is why my graph shows the two arrays populated with zeros. Any idea what could be the issue?

    Thanks

  • Jed,

    I have seen this before on a couple of C2000 devices. There is an extra reset happening that is causing the problem.

    Can you take a look at this post. In your case the name of the gel file would change but the same concept should work.
