3 Software Setup

All of the documentation, software, and hardware files needed to use the experimenter's kit and develop on a C2000 MCU is in the controlSUITE package. The controlSUITE installs the Hardware Developer's package for the experimenter's kit baseboard and for all C2000 controlCARDs. In addition all software and documentation for this and all other kits can also be installed.

To install controlSUITE, do the following:

1. Visit http://www.ti.com/controlsuite and download the controlSUITE installer.
2. Run the installer and after a few clicks select the experimenter's kit checkbox.
3. By default the installer creates a directory called controlSUITE on the C drive inside the TI directory:
   1. The example software for the experimenter's kit is at: \controlSUITE\development_kits\TemplateProjects\
   2. The hardware documentation for the experimenter's kits is at: \controlSUITE\development_kits\~ExperimentersKits
   3. The controlCARD hardware developer's package is at: \controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs
   4. More examples for your specific device are within the controlSUITE at: \controlSUITE\device_support
