2.1 Quickstart guide

For quickstart, to begin testing with AC input closed voltage and current control loop, begin reading below in Download Firmware and follow this guide.

To explore full options and labs for this board review the software guide for the code. The software guide is located in the folder downloaded for the DigitalPower_SDK. To find the software guide, locate the DigitalPower_SDK folder then follow: C2000Ware_DigitalPower_SDK_x_xx_xx_xx → solutions → pmp23338 → docs → pmp23338_software_guide.pdf. This guide goes through the steps for testing with the PFC23338EVM-107 and the different labs included in the software for this EVM. The guide also includes helpful information on the design of the control for the system.
