The recommended steps for using the F28003x
LaunchPad are:
- Follow the instructions in Section 2.2 to begin running the LaunchPad demo
program. Within just a few minutes, you can control and monitor the F28003x
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 might quickly be addressed.
- Experiment with BoosterPacks. This
development kit conforms to the latest revision of the BoosterPack pinout standard. It 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 web page at http://www.ti.com/launchpad.
- Take the first step towards developing
your own control applications. The F28003x LaunchPad is supported by the C2000Ware
development package. After C2000Ware is installed, look for
\F28003x\examples\launchxl_F280039C in the installation directory to find the
pre-configured example applications for this board. Any of the other examples found within
the \F28003x\examples directory can be used with minor modifications to run on the
LaunchPad as well. For more details about software development, see Section 2.
- For applications, features and
benefits information, see the C2000™ F28003x Real-Time
Microcontrollers applications, features, and benefits.
- 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.
- 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 F28003x 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.
- Get Trained. Review and download
hours of written and video training materials on C2000 Real-time Microcontrollers and
related LaunchPads.
