There is no license fee for Code Composer Studio. You can download it here: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Download_CCS

Please note that GUI Composer is not used to create a GUI application that runs on the microcontroller. GUI Composer is used to create a GUI that runs on a host PC and interacts with the micro controller.

GUI Composer is accessible here: https://dev.ti.com

Thank you so much for giving reply john,instead of using like control suite Gui, i want to create custom GUI ,when i press that button icon it will flash the code into ti micro controller using USB .

TI__Guru**** 162325 points

If you create a GUI Composer application it will program the flash when you open the UI. Would the GUI be doing anything else? You could also use a script like loadti to load the device.

Will there be a debug probe connected to the mcu or would you be interfacing to the USB interface on the device itself?

The reason I ask is that if you are using the USB connection provided by the debug probe then you could write your GUI in python and then use a Debug Server Scripting call to program the mcu and I can provide you with the information for that. If you are interfacing directly with the device then I am going to need to direct you to a device expert.

John

Hi,

F2833x does not have USB support. There is no USB peripheral.

However, we do have a serial flash programmer and SCI flash kernel which can program the device over SCI or UART serial communication. You can use a USB cable to accomplish connected to the PC and use a PC COM port to send data serially.

Please see www.ti.com/.../sprabv4b.pdf

For more questions on this, please open another thread so we can better assist you.

Gangadhararao,

I am a little confused by the question.

If you are using a controlCARD, then the mini-USB connector is routed to an FTDI chip which routes the signals to the JTAG / Debugger pins. THe USB mini connector and FTDI chip is a xds100v2 emulator. You can use this to connect and flash the device through CCS and presumably GUI composer.

Hope this helps.

Hi sal,

I dont have any emulator i have created GUI in CCS GUI composer and connected from PC to TMS320F28334 controller board using usb uart cable and trying to flash, port is not showing in GUI composer, but port is enabled in device manager, am sharing the screen shots,please find the attachments, i have stuck up here,

Kindly Please help me to resolve the problem. past one week i have been stuck up here.

I don't think I can help with this. I have not used GUI composer and am not sure why the port would not show up if it is in Device Manager.

John S. Can you help with this?

0 JohnS over 7 years ago in reply to Sal Pezzino

TI__Guru**** 162325 points

To summarize

This is not a TI controlCARD it is a custom board.

Thus there is no onboard XDS100/FTDI.

There is no external debug probe being used.

A usb to UART cable is being used to connect to the board.

You want to have a GUI to program the board.

In GUI Composer you did not hit the Add button here:

I don't believe this is going to be supported. On the next screen the one from your capture it is going to look for COM ports that we recognize as being connected to the device. It is not going to recognize a 3rd party USB to UART cable.

In short I don't believe you will be able to use GUI composer to program the device over your USB to UART cable. I will confirm with the GUI Composer team but I believe you can only do that if you are using the UART that is being passed through from one of our debug probes such as the XDS100 build onto the controlCARD. You need to use the serial flash programmer in the link Sai provided to program your board. You can have your Python GUI call this.

John

I don't know what loadti does, but you can use the serial_flash_programmer.exe and SCI flash kernel in C2000Ware.

sal

0 JohnS over 7 years ago in reply to Sal Pezzino

TI__Guru**** 162325 points

Like CCS, GUI Composer... loadti requires you to have a debug probe to program the device. Please please please use the serial_flash_programmer that comes with C2000Ware that Sal has suggested a couple times now. Please stop trying other solutions and try it.

Hi sal,

Thank you for replying,but as discussed before John suggested me after connecting usb UART cable from pc to controller and using loadti from command prompt we can connect & program the controller...I tried but it was showing error..that screen shot I have shared previously, can you please see that...you are telling like to use c2000 ware , customer not given that much budget to buy that c2000 ware.please give any idea

Iam waiting for your kind reply

C2000Ware is free.

Once you use the serial flash programmer, if you have any questions, please open a new thread on the C2000 forum.

I will consider this closed for now.
