The C2000 DIMM100 Experimenter's Kit provides a quick, easy, low-cost way to evaluate the TMS320F28x family of devices (see Figure 1). The kit consists of a docking station and a F28x controlCARD. The docking station is a small baseboard that accepts any of the DIMM100 plug-in controlCARDs and allows the user access to all the key GPIO and ADC signals of the F28x device. Additionally, the docking station also provides two prototyping areas (one on each side of the DIMM100 connector) with an array of 0.1" spaced plated through holes for wire-wrapping and soldering.

Other features of the docking station include the following:
DIM100 controlCARDs are small, 100-pin, Dual In Line Memory Module (DIMM) style, vertical, plug-in boards that have all the necessary support circuitry (clock, supply LDO, decoupling, pull-ups, and so on) to provide reliable operation for the C2000 MCU. The board design is robust and meant for operation in noisy electrical environments. TI offers several pin compatible controlCARDs for evaluating the different MCUs available in the C2000 family.
DIM100 controlCARDs include the following features:
Both the controlCARD and docking station include a Hardware Developer's Package, a set of files that make copying or redeploying this technology very easy (see Section 3).
The Hardware Developer's Package includes the following:
