Delfino™ TMS320F28379D controlCARD R1.3
• TMDSCNCD28379D_100DIMmap_R1_3 – tells where each MCU pin will go to on the DIM100
controlCARD connector or the DIM100 docking station. This assumes that the TMDSADAP180TO100
adapter card is used.
More information on the controlCARD docking station can be found at the following locations:
• \controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28379D_vX_X\

3.4 Experimentation Software
All key examples for the F28379D MCU can be found within controlSUITE at:
\controlSUITE\device_support\f2837xD\
This example software package includes many projects that allow the user to experiment with the ADC,
PWM, and other C2000 peripherals.
4 Special Notes on Connectivity
4.1 xds100v2 Emulator and SCI/UART Connectivity
The F28379D controlCARD provides emulation and USB-to-UART adapter functionality on the
controlCARD. This allows for a convenient method to debug and demo the F2837x MCU.
Note that the FTDI chip, its support circuitry, and associated isolation components are placed in Macro A,
the left section of the controlCARD. Each of these components contains an additional A within the
component reference designator (that is, A:R2 for resistor 2 in Macro A), see
Figure 2 .
Each F28379D controlCARD’s xds100v2 is programmed with a fixed serial number. If a debug session
needs to involve two or more F28379D controlCARDs, each controlCARD needs to have a unique serial
number and some need to be reprogrammed, see:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS100#Q:_Can_I_change_the_serial_number_on_my_X
DS100v2.3F
The configuration of the switches on A:SW1 determine whether the on-board emulator is active, whether
an external emulator can be used, or whether the device will boot from FLASH/peripherals, see
Table 2 .
