Use the following steps to start a project in Code
Composer Studio (CCS):
- Install Code Composer Studio from
the Code Composer Studio (CCS) integrated development environment (IDE)
tools folder. Version 12.4 or above is recommended.
- Install C2000WARE-DIGITALPOWER-SDK in one of two ways:
- Go to CCS and click on
View → Resource Explorer. Under the TI Resource
Explorer, go to C2000WARE-DIGITAL-POWER-SDK, and click on the install
button.
- Through the C2000Ware
Digital Power SDK tools folder
- Once installation completes,
close CCS, and open a new workspace. CCS automatically detects powerSUITE.
Sometimes CCS must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Note: By default, powerSUITE is
installed with the installation of SDK.
The firmware project can now be
imported using one of the following methods:
- Using Resource Explorer
- In the Resource
Explorer, under C2000WARE-DIGITAL-POWER-SDK, click on
powerSUITE → Solution Adapter Tool.
- Select TIDA-010090 from
the list of designs presented under DC-DC section.
- The development kit page
is displayed. The icon to run the project appears in the top bar. Click
Run Project.
- This action imports the
project into the workspace environment, and a configuration page with a
GUI similar to Figure 3-2 appears.
- If this GUI page does not
appear, see the FAQ section under powerSUITE in the
C2000WAREDIGITAL-POWER-SDK resource explorer.
- Direct import from the solution
folder
- The user can also
directly import the project by going inside CCS to click Project
→ Import CCS Projects and browsing to the solution folder located
at /solutions/tida_010090/f28p65x/ccs.
- Two project
specifications appear: one of the projects is with powerSUITE, and the
other without powerSUITE. Clicking on either creates a self-contained
folder of the project with all the dependencies inside.
- The non-powerSUITE
project is provided for customers who find the powerSUITE GUI limiting
or want to remove powerSUITE for production code.
- This document guides the
user through the powerSUITE project, but all the steps can be repeated
with the non-powerSUITE project with modification to the relevant
#defines
in the powerSUITE
settings.h
file, which are documented in this
design guide.
