C2000™ SysConfig is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows you to configure your C2000 Real-Time Control MCUs. The following are the features supported in the tool:

• System initialization code generation: C2000 SysConfig generates initialization code for the C2000 device including peripheral initialization, interrupt initialization, PinMux initialization, and so forth.
• Device PinMux visualization: A visual representation of the device and all of its pins, a list of all possible PinMux options, your selected mode for each pin, and a summary PinMux CSV file is supported by the tool.
• Error detection: C2000 SysConfig is capable of catching configuration errors and notifying you of the incorrect setup.
• Device level dependency identification: C2000 SysConfig identifies the dependencies in the device and ensures that the dependent peripherals are all configured by you.
• Device level error detection: Device level configuration errors caused by dependent peripherals are caught and you are notified of the error.
• Portable device initialization: Device initialization settings are portable between device families and device packages.
  Note: The device families supported are:

  • F2807x, F2837xS, F2837xD
  • F28004x
  • F2838x
  • F28002x
  • F28003x
• Seamless support for other tools: Support for other SysConfig tools such as CLB Tool and the DCSM Tool.

C2000 SysConfig is available inside C2000Ware and requires the SysConfig Tool, which is delivered built-in with Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) IDE and is also delivered as a standalone tool for use with other IDEs.

Figure 1-1 C2000 SysConfig Overview

The C2000 SysConfig support is built on top of the C2000 driverlib software layer. To get started, either start from an existing C2000 SysConfig based driverlib project or add C2000 SysConfig and driverlib support to an existing project.

Most driverlib examples in C2000Ware have either an example.syscfg file or you can add a file with the .syscfg extension. Double clicking and opening the .syscfg file launches the C2000 SysConfig tool.

To get started with C2000 SysConfig, let's import an existing example with C2000 SysConfig support.

1. Launch CCS and import the example: clb_ex8_external_signal_AND_gate.projectspec
   1. Select Project → Import CCS Project
   2. Browse to C2000Ware_VERSION\driverlib\f2838x\examples\c28x\clb\CCS
   3. Select the clb_ex8_external_signal_AND_gate.projectspec project and import it
2. Inside your CCS project you should be able to see the syscfg file along with the rest of the application files.
   Figure 2-1 C2000 SysConfig Example Project in CCS
3. Double click on clb_ex8_external_signal_AND_gate.syscfg file and the C2000 SysConfig GUI will launch
   Note: You can also right-click on the syscfg file, then select Open With → SysConfig Editor.

4. The C2000 SysConfig GUI should be launched inside CCS and should look similar to one shown in Figure 2-3.

5. Click the Device View button at the top right corner of the SysConfig GUI to see the device and package used for your project

C2000 SysConfig support is added in the Project Properties. By default, this project was configured for F2838x family of devices and the selected device package is set to 337 BGA package. If the Project Properties for C2000 SysConfig support is not set up by default in your CCS project, the syscfg file will not launch the GUI succesfully. Most driverlib projects have the Project Properties set up by default for C2000 SysConfig. If Project Properties are not set up correctly, Section 8 describes how C2000 SysConfig can be added to a CCS project.
