Getting Started With the LAUNCHXL-F28069M
4.1
Getting Started
The first time the LAUNCHXL-F28069M is used, a demo application automatically starts when the board is
powered from a USB host. If your board does not start the demo application, try placing S1 in the following
positions and resetting the board: UP - UP - DOWN. To start the demo, connect the LAUNCHXL-
F28069M with the included mini-USB cable to a free USB port. The demo application starts with the LEDs
flashing to show the device is active.
4.2
Demo Application, Internal Temperature Measurement
The LAUNCHXL-F28069M includes a pre-programmed TMS320F28069M device. When the LaunchPad is
connected via USB, the demo starts with an LED flash sequence. After a few seconds the device switches
into a temperature measurement mode.
A reference temperature is taken at the beginning of this mode and the LEDs of the LaunchPad are used
to display any difference between the current temperature and the reference temperature. If the device
gets warmer than the reference temperature the red LED is lit with an intensity proportional to the
temperature difference. However, if the device cools down compared to the reference temperature, a blue
LED is lit in the same fashion.
In addition to the LED display, temperature information is also displayed on your PC through the
USB/UART connection. To view the UART information on your PC, first figure out the COM port
associated with the LaunchPad. To do this in Windows, right click on
My Computer
and click on
Properties
. In the dialog box that appears, click on the Hardware tab and open
Device Manager
. Look for
an entry under Ports (COM & LPT) titled "XDS100 Class USB Serial Port (COMX)", where X is a number.
