The recommended steps for using the F28P55x LaunchPad are:
- Follow the instructions in Section 3.1.2 to begin running the
LaunchPad demo program: Within just a few minutes, users can control and
monitor the F28P55x LaunchPad with the pre-programmed quick start application.
Additionally, Section 5.1 is helpful if there are any issues that can quickly be addressed.
- Experiment with BoosterPacks: This development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack pinout standard. The kit 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 LaunchPad.
- Take the first step towards developing your
own control applications: The F28P55x LaunchPad is supported by the
C2000Ware development package. After C2000Ware is installed, look
for \F28P55x\examples\launchxl_F28P55X in the installation directory to find the
pre-configured example applications for this board. Any of the other examples
found within the \F28P55x\examples directory can be used with minor
modifications to run on the LaunchPad as well. For more details about software
development, see Section 3.1.
- Refer to a technical
article featuring C2000 Real-Time Microcontrollers about how
developers can take advantage of the scalability and sustainability
benefits these devices bring.
- 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 F28P55x 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.
- Get trained: Review and download hours of written and video training materials on C2000 Real-time Microcontrollers and related LaunchPads.
