TMS570LS Microcontrollers:
Blinky Example
2
Overview
In this example we will:
Create a TMS570 HALCoGen Project
Generate and import code into Code Composer Studio
Write code to blink the LED on NHET pin 1
Build, deploy and execute the code to the microcontroller
Required Hardware:
Windows Based PC (WinXP, Vista, 7)
TMS570LS2x USB Development Stick or Microcontroller Development Kit
Required Software:
TMS570 HALCoGen
Code Composer Studio v4.x
3
Setting up a New HALCoGen Project
Launch HALCoGen
Start Programs Texas Instruments HALCoGen
File > New > Project
Family:
TMDX570
Device:
TMDX570LS20USB (for USB Stick)
OR
TMDX570LS20MDK (for MDK)
Name: TMS570 Blinky
Location: C:\myWorkspace

Configuring the Peripherals
Select the peripherals that are required for this project.
In this lab we need only enable the GIO driver, uncheck all other drivers
No further changes should be made, the source code can now be generated.
To do this go to File Generate Code
Following, the folders on the right will populate with our new files
6
HALCoGen Help
Information about the files
and functions that
HALCoGen creates can be
found in the HALCoGen
Help menu
Help can be launched from
the main title bar under
Help Help Topics
7
Setting up Code Composer Studio 4
Launch Code Composer Studio v4.x (CCS)
Start Programs Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio v4
Code Composer Studio v4
When it launches, CCS will ask you to select a workspace, we will chose
C:\myWorkspace
Once it loads, go to File New CCS Project

Setting up our Project
Our project name needs to match the name of our HALCoGen Project,
TMS570 Blinky
Then Click next
On the next page, make
sure that your project
type is set to ARM and
Debug and Release are
both checked
Then Click next
9
Setting up our Project (cont.)
We are not using any referenced projects so click next again
10
Setting up the Project (cont.)
Lastly, set the Device Variant to Cortex
R and TMS570LS20216SPGE
Click Finish
11
Getting Started
On the left hand side in the C/C++ Projects explorer, open sys_main.c
When ever you generate code in HALCoGen, the program overwrites user
code, except specific sections marked by USER CODE BEGIN (x) and
USER CODE END
For code placement we will be referring to the number within the User
Code block
/* USER CODE BEGIN (0) */
/* USER CODE END */
12
Writing the Code
Inside User Code 1, copy the code below.
#include "het.h"
/* USER CODE END */
13
Writing the Code cont
Then in User Code 3, copy the code below.
int temp,delay;
/** - Delay Parameter */
delay = 0x200000;
/* Set HET port pins to output */
gioSetDirection(hetPORT, 0xFFFFFFFF);
while(1)
{
/* Set HET port pin 1 high */
gioSetBit(hetPORT, 1, 1);
/** - Simple Delay */
for(temp=0;temp<delay;temp++);
/* Set HET port pin 1 low */
gioSetBit(hetPORT, 1, 0);
/** - Simple Delay */
for(temp=0;temp<delay;temp++);
}
/* USER CODE END */
14
Notifications
Lastly we must insert a function that would be called if interrupts were
enabled. Without these, the code will fail to build
/* GIO Notification function not used, but required by compiler */
void gioNotification(int bit)
{
return;
}
/* USER CODE END */
15
Compiling the Project
The code is now complete and we are ready to build our project.
Go to Project Build Active Project
Now that we have our .out file, we need to program the microcontrollers Flash
memory.
16
Creating a Target Configuration
Before we begin, we must make a new target configuration, this tells CCS4
what device this project is designed for.
Target New Target Configuration
A new window will appear, we will make our file name TMS570.ccxml
Click Finish
17
Creating a Target Configuration
A new tab will appear with a list of emulators and devices.
Connection: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Emulator
In the text box labeled Type Filter Text, type TMS570.
This will narrow the search down to just TMS570 devices, select
TMS570LS20216SPGE
Click Save on the right
18
Flash Programming Configuration
It is possible to make the flash programming process much faster by only the
necessary erasing and programming the necessary regions of flash memory.
To do so go to Project Properties
In the window that appears select CCS Debug
In the CCS Debug window select the TMS570LS20216SPGE Flash Settings
option in the Target tab.
Then select the Necessary Sectors Only option in the Erase Options area,
then click the Apply button.
NOTE:
This option
is only
available in
CCSv4.2
and newer
19
Programming the Flash
We are now ready to program the flash.
Go to Target Debug Active Project
A new window should appear as it programs the flash memory.
This may take a few moments.
20
Testing our Program
Click the green arrow on the debug tab to run our program
Alternatively the program can be run without the debugger connected by
Clicking the red square on the debug tab to terminate the debuggers connection
Hit the reset button on the board and the NHET[1] LED should blink.
Congratulations! You have completed the lab.
