7.3.1 Running the Example

To run the example, 1 lead with 'n' number of node devices, F28004x or F28002x, have to be connected in the daisy-chain configuration. The lead and node examples for the respective devices have to be imported in CCS. Once the projects are successfully imported, open the target configuration block available under the 'View' tab. Right clicking anywhere in the empty space within the target configuration block allows the user to import any existing target configuration. The target configuration file has to be imported from the 'common' folder available with the main project folder named as <fsi_daisychain_1lead_2node.ccxml>. The given file is configured for 1 lead and 2 node devices, which can be configured by the user as per the hardware requirement. The details on how to add a new device to the existing target configuration file are provided below in Section 7.3.2.

After successfully adding and testing the device connection using the target configuration file, the target configuration has to be launched by right clicking on the target configuration file. Note that the lead and node project have to be successfully built before launching the target configuration file. After the target configuration file is launched, connecting to the device and loading the project to the device has to be done using the connect and load icons provided in the menu bar on the top.

Another way to run the project is to open multiple windows of CCS, equal to the number of devices, using different workspaces and individually build and load the project in each device through its dedicated CCS window.

The variables 'data_frame_cntr', 'error' and 'FSIRxintCount' can be added in watch variables of node project to observe the data frames being transmitted and received through the CCS window. The user may also want to use the ‘epwm_cmpc_value_var’ and ‘epwm_sync_event_count_var’ to dynamically change the duty cycle and the prescalar value in run-time environment in the infinite loop.
