1.4 Using the F28002x LaunchPad

The recommended steps for using the F28002x LaunchPad are:

  1. Follow the instructions in Section 2.2 to begin running the LaunchPad demo program. Within just a few minutes, you can control and monitor the F28002x LaunchPad with the pre-programmed quick start application. Additionally, the FAQ section included in this document can be helpful if there are any issues that might quickly be addressed.
  2. Experiment with BoosterPacks. This development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack pinout standard. It has two independent BoosterPack sites to enable a variety of expansion opportunities, such as two boosterpacks being used simultaneously. For more information about the TI LaunchPad and BoosterPack standard, see the TI LaunchPad web page at http://www.ti.com/launchpad.
  3. Take the first step towards developing your own control applications. The F28002x LaunchPad is supported by the C2000Ware development package. After C2000Ware is installed, look for \f28002x\examples\launchxl_f280025c in the installation directory to find the pre-configured example applications for this board (to be added in first quarter 2021 C2000WARE release). Any of the other examples found within the \f28002x\examples directory can be used with minor modifications to run on the LaunchPad as well. For more details about software development, see Section 2.
    1. Check out this technical article featuring the F28002x Real-Time Microcontroller series about how developers can take advantage of the scalability and sustainability benefits these devices bring.
  4. Customize and integrate the hardware to align to your end application. This development kit can be used as a reference for building your own custom boards and circuits based on C2000 F28002x series microcontrollers. The LaunchPad also functions as a foundation for expansion with custom BoosterPacks and other circuits. This document can serve as a starting point for such projects.
  5. Get Trained. Review and download hours of written and video training materials on C2000 Real-time Microcontrollers and related LaunchPads. For more information, visit the C2000 Real-Time Control MCUs - Support & Training page.
