WEBENCH® Tools/TDC7200EVM: TDC7201EVM application tool

Part Number: TDC7200EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, MSP430FR2355, TDC7200, , TDC1000

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Good afternoon,

    I want to make a board about TOF, this board is reference to TIDA00663 ,TDC7201EVM tool is useful to debug for our board ,Could I use TDC7201EVM tool with MSP430F5529  on  our own board?

Now I use MSP430FR2355 UART to USB port,it is fail to connect COM11 port using TDC7201EVM tool, This is normal or not ?  

thanks for your reply.

  • Hi Wang,

    The TDC7201EVM-GUI is exclusively compatible with the MSP430F5529. You will not be able to use the MSP430FR2355 with the GUI. For example source code to run the TDC7201EVM with a custom microcontroller, such as the FR2355, see the reference code for the TDC720x in the "TDC720xEVM_Firmware_Source-v2.07.zip" of the install directory of the TDC720xEVM GUI Installer v2.1.8.0 (Rev. E) at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\TDC720xEVM\Firmware". The "TDC7200_basic_spi_rw" CCS project is a good place to start, but you will need to port some of the settings to the FR2355 since the example was written for the F5529.

  •  Thank you for your reply ,but if I change design board MCU MSP430FR2355 to MSP430F5529 ,Could TDC7201EVM-GUI use on my design board ?

  • Hi Wang,

    If you use the MSP430F5529 on you custom board, then, yes, you can re-purpose the TDC7201EVM-GUI assuming you use the original EVM-GUI source code project

    To view and edit the original source code for the TDC720xEVM, you will need to import the "TDC7200EVM_USB" project into Code Composer Studio. This project can be found in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\TDC1000_7200EVM\fw\TDC720xEVM_Firmware_Source-v2.07\CCS\TDC7200EVM_USB" folder of the GUI install directory. This CCS project will import all the required source files listed in the ".project" file.
