2.5 Programming and Running Other Software on the F29H85x LaunchPad

The software packages described in Section 2.2 include example projects that can be loaded and run on the F29H85x LaunchPad. If you installed the F29H85X-SDK software to the default installation path of C:\ti , you can find DriverLib-based example applications in <sdk_install_dir>\examples. The on-board XDS110 is used with the On-Chip Flash Programmer tool to program applications to the F29H85x LaunchPad.

Follow these steps to program example applications onto the F29H85x LaunchPad development kit using the on-board XDS110 debug probe:

  1. Install Code Composer Studio (CCS) IDE on a PC running Microsoft Windows.
  2. Connect the USB-A cable plug in to an available USB port on the PC and plug the USB Type-C plug to the port (USB1) on the F29H85x LaunchPad.
  3. Verify the following LEDs are illuminated:
    1. LED1, at the top left of the board, indicating 5V USB power.
    2. LED7 indicating 3.3V power to the XDS110 debug probe.
    3. LED3 indicating 5.0V power to the F29H850TU MCU.
  4. Install Windows XDS110 and Virtual COM Port drivers if prompted. Installation instructions can be found at XDS110 Product Page.
  5. Run CCS IDE on the PC.
  6. Import a F29H85x project from F29H85X-SDK, or another installed software package, into the CCS IDE workspace.
  7. Add the _LAUNCHXL_F29H85X predefined symbol to the imported DriverLib example project for the software to use relevant F29H85x LaunchPad signals.
    1. Open the projects Properties → Expand the Build tab → Expand the C2000 Compiler tab → Select Predefined Symbol → Add _LAUNCHXL_F29H85X pre-define NAME.
  8. Right click the project name and select Rebuild Project in CCS IDE.
  9. Launch the LAUNCHXL-F29H85X Target Configuration file and connect to the F29H85x device. Make sure that the Target Configuration file is configured to use the 4-pin JTAG advanced configuration. For additional details, see FAQ section.
  10. Click 'Load Program' and select the program's binary to load. The binary is loaded onto the device and can now be run and debugged.
