SysConfig Setup

The AM263x controlCARD has two released revisions-E1 and E2. The revisions differ in ADC-CMPSS Mappings. Update the .syscfg file according to the board revision in use. This project is developed according to E2 version of the controlCARD.

The psfbpcmc.syscfg is used to configure all the modules present in the PSFB converter control. To run the control loop, the modules needed are the ADC, CMPSS and EPWM modules. Each of these modules are independently explained in the next section.
