2 Hardware Set Up
2.1 Test drive with GUI – (skip if you need only emulation support)
2.2 Code Composer Studio Software Development Platform Emulation - Additional Steps
Hardware Set Up www.ti.com
All the hardware needed to get started (except the emulator) is included in this package (suggested
emulators are listed near the end of this document). The application-specific motherboard provided in this
kit can be used in one of two ways:
1. Test Drive – Using the provided GUI application, the user does not require Code Composer Studio™
software or emulation tools. This provides a great way to run or demo the application code quickly and
see what functionality the hardware offers. Note: exactly the same functionality can be achieved by
using the Code Composer Studio Watch Window and slider features during emulation in the second
mode.
2. Code Composer Studio Software Development Platform – With the project code provided, the
application can be modified, compiled, loaded and run in a development environment. Code Composer
Studio and Emulation HW tools are required for this.
Follow these steps to set up the hardware for either the GUI or Software Development Platform:
Step 1. Unpack the DIMM style controlCARD.
Step 2. Spread open the winged retaining clips on connector J2.
Step 3. Sit the DIMM card loosely in the connector slot. Align the 2 keyed notches carefully and
position the card bottom corners inside the retaining clips (see picture below).
Step 4. Push vertically down using even pressure from both ends of the card until the clips snap and
lock. (note: to remove or eject the card simply spread open the retaining clips with thumbs).
Step 5. Be sure switch 1 (SW1) is in the off position and connect the included power supply to the
power jack.
Step 1. Plug in the serial cable provided to connector J4 making sure the red wire aligns with the Rx
pin on EVM.
Step 2. Insert a jumper in position 34 on the board’s boot pins.
Step 3. Plug the DB9 connector into your PC using either a serial port or a serial-to-USB converter
dongle.
Step 4. Turn on the power once you are done with the TI Software download (see Software Set Up
GUI-TestDrive).
Step 1. Depending on your emulator type, place the jumper at J2 to either the 3.3-V or 5-V position.
Step 2. Connect the JTAG emulator cable to connector J1.
Step 3. Turn on power once you are done with the TI Software download, see Software Set Up -
Code Composer Studio Development. For full details (schematics, pin-out table, etc) of the
hardware see the Hardware Developer’s Package, EightChBuck-HWdevPkg. See Software
Set Up for the download location.
