2.4 Hardware Revisions

This section contains an abbreviated revision history of the LAUNCHXL-F28P55X as well as known issues with
each revision.
2.4.1 Revision A
The first production revision of the LAUNCHXL-F28P55X was released in February 2023. This revision can be
identified by the MCU133A silkscreen labeling on the back side of the EVM between the BoosterPack Connector
site 1 towards the top of the board.
Issues and concerns that have been identified on the EVM are listed below:
Known issues:
• No issues to report at this time of initial release.
Special notes and considerations to be aware of:
• Some of the F28P55X LaunchPads come with indicated "EQEP2" label on the silkscreen instead of "EQEP3"
one. Beware that EQEP2 on the silkscreen corresponds to the EQEP3 module.
3 Software
3.1 Software Development
This section provides general information about software development, as well as instructions for programming
the LaunchPad. Software tools and packages for C2000 real-time controllers, like the F28P55x, are listed in the
C2000 Evaluation & Development
3.1.1 Software Tools and Packages
Code Composer Studio (CCS)
Microcontroller and Embedded Processors portfolio. Code Composer Studio (CCS) provides a feature rich
environment for developing, programming, and debugging code on the C2000 family of MCUs.
C2000WARE is a repository of device-specific drivers, bit-field support files, libraries, peripheral examples,
utilities, hardware files, and documentation for C2000 MCUs. C2000WARE provides a solid foundation to
begin development and evaluation of the F28P55x device on the LAUNCHXL-F28P55X and minimize software
development time.
Software Development Kits (SDKs) are provided to make evaluating C2000 MCUs easier within specific system
use cases and reduce overall development time. The
SDK) is targeted for various motor control applications, such as industrial drives. The
(C2000WARE-DIGITALPOWER-SDK)
DC-DC and DC-AC power supply applications.
3.1.2 F28P55x LaunchPad Demo Program
The LAUNCHXL-F28P55X includes a TMSF28P550SJ9PZ device pre-programmed with a demo program. When
the LaunchPad is powered on the demo program begins with an LED blink sequence on LED4 and LED5. After
a few seconds the device switches into an ADC sampling mode.
Every 1 second the ADC samples pin ADCINA6 and the sampled value is represented as follows: If the sample
is above mid-scale (2048), then the red LED4 illuminates. If the sample is below mid-scale, then the green LED5
illuminates.
In addition to the LED indicators, ADC sample results are also displayed on your PC through the USB/UART
connection. To view the UART information on your PC, first determine the COM port associated with the
LaunchPad. To do this in Windows open the Device Manager. Look for an entry under Ports (COM and LPT)
titled XDS110 Class Application/User UART (COMX), where X is a number. Remember this number for opening
a serial terminal.
