3.1.5.3.1 Opening Project Inside CCS

Use the following steps to start the project in CCS:

  1. Install CCS from the Code Composer Studio (CCS) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools folder, CCSV12.0 or above is recommended
  2. Install C2000Ware DigitalPower SDK at the C2000Ware Digital Power SDK tools folder.
    Note: powerSUITE is installed with the SDK in the default install.
  3. Go to View → Resource Explorer. Under the TI Resource Explorer, go to C2000Ware DigitalPower SDK. To open the reference design software as it is (opens firmware as it was run on this design and hardware, requires the board to be exactly the same as this reference design)
  4. Under C2000Ware DigitalPower SDK, select Development Kits → CCM Totem Pole PFC TIDA-010062, and click on Run <Import> Project
  5. These steps import the project, and the development kit or designs page shows up. This page can be used to browse all the information on the design including this user guide, test reports, hardware design files, and so forth.
  6. Click Import F28003x LFU DC-DC Project
  7. This action imports the project into the workspace environment, and a main.syscfg page with a GUI similar to Figure 3-37 appears

    GUID-20230719-SS0I-52GZ-5F8L-VCQLBCC3VJB8-low.png

    Figure 3-37 Typical LFU-Based System

    Click the main.syscfg file, a GUI page opens with modifiable options for the PFC design. Use this GUI to change the parameters for an adapted concept, like power rating, inductance, capacitance, sensing circuit parameters, and so forth.

    For the purposes of LFU, make sure the following options are selected:

    • LLC Lab → Closed Loop
    • Control On → CLA
    • SFRA Enabled → Disabled
  8. Once the specified settings have been selected. Build the project for each different build configuration in this order: LFU_BANK0, LFU_BANK1.
    Note: The project needs to be built in this order since the firmware on Bank1 is built using Bank0 as a reference.

See Section 3.1.3.5 for more information on the specific labs on how to debug them on hardware.
