Appendix A – A Quick guide to CCS and the hardware

A.1 – Before you start

Basic experience of c/c+ is highly recommended.

Download the example collection SPRC097 from the Texas Instruments website

(www.TI.com). SPRC097 contains a lot of useful programs suitable for the CCS- and DSP-

novice, but above all – it contains h- and cmd-files required to access some of the specific

functions of the hardware. Moreover, it includes a guide to the attached programs in pdf-

format.

It’s recommended to check out some of the example programs to better understand both CCS

and the DSP. Especially interesting examples (at least in the power electronic point of view)

are these two examples:

adc_soc Short introduction to ADC

ev_pwm Deals with the PWM

C++ Primer by Stanley B. Lippman and Josee Lajoie is a great book for reference and

introduction for C-novices.
