3.1 Using the controlCARD

For the controlCARD to operate, the controlCARD MCU must be powered. This is done through the USB-C connector J3 on the controlCARD or by inputting 5 V through the HSEC connector using the accompanying baseboard. For example, if using a TMDSHSECDOCK docking station baseboard, 5 VDC can be input into the docking station J1 or J17. Then, S1 needs to be toggled to the appropriate position.

Based on the way the controlCARD is used, additional hardware settings are necessary (see Table 4-1).

Note:

MCU is not powered via type-C USB connector J2 on the controlCARD. This USB is to be used only for data-peripheral connection with the C2000 MCU.

Table 3-1 Emulator Switch Selections
Switch Debug using CCS IDE and the on-card XDS110 Emulator
(4-pin JTAG mode only)		 Debug using CCS IDE and an External Emulator using the Baseboard Standalone (Boot from FLASH or other Boot Mode)
S4 Position 1: ON (right, default) to connect the embedded XDS110 emulator to the MCU Position 1: OFF (left) to disconnect the embedded XDS110 emulator from the MCU Position 1: OFF (left)
Position 2: ON (right, default) to connect the embedded XDS110 UART COM port to the MCU GPIO28 pin. Position 2: OFF (left) to disconnect the embedded XDS110 UART COM port to the MCU GPIO28 pin. Position 2: OFF (left)

Code Composer Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used to debug and develop software for the C2000 series of MCUs. CCS IDE can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio.

The following PDF documents are provided, as part of C2000Ware, to describe where each of the F28P55x MCU pins appears on the controlCARD connector/docking station:

  • TMDSCNCD28P55X_<rev>_120cCARD_pinout – Indicates where each MCU pin goes on the HSEC controlCARD connector or the 120/180-pin controlCARD docking station.
  • TMDSCNCD28P55X_<rev>_100DIM_map – Indicates where each MCU pin goes on the DIM100 controlCARD connector or the DIM100 docking station. This assumes that the TMDSADAP180TO100 adapter card is used.

More information on the controlCARD docking station can be found in the C2000Ware at the following location:
