2.2 Using the F28E12x LaunchPad

The recommended steps for using the F28E12x LaunchPad are:

  1. Follow the instructions in Section 3.1.2 to begin running the LaunchPad demo program. Within just a few minutes, you can control and monitor the F28E12x 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 can quickly be addressed.
  2. Experiment with BoosterPacks. This development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack pinout standard. This development 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.
  3. Take the first step towards developing your own control applications. The F28E12x LaunchPad is supported by the C2000Ware development package. After C2000Ware is installed, look for \f28e12x\examples\c28x\launchxl_f28e12x in the installation directory to find the pre-configured example applications for this board. Any of the other examples found within the \f28e12x\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.
    1. For applications, features and benefits information, see the F28E12x Real-Time Microcontrollers data sheet.
    2. Check out this technical article featuring C2000 Real-Time Microcontrollers 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 F28E12x 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.
