demonstrations of the device and peripherals, which can be

used as a starting point. An example project exists for every

aspect of the device.

5. Before moving to your application, take a look at the

development tools that we have. Each comes with complete

hardware and software packages, allowing you to reduce

design or programming time.

Getting Started

Start from the device

1. Start by downloading controlSUITE and

selecting the device support package of your choice.

Start with a kit

1. Start by downloading controlSUITE

and selecting the kit that you would like to use. The appropriate

device support package and baseline framework software will

automatically install as well.

baseline framework along with speciﬁc examples and a

hardware package including everything you need to understand

the hardware – schematics, layouts, bill of materials, and more.

3.RuntheGUI,connecttotheboard,andstartplayingwiththe 

variables to see how the system reacts to inputs.

experimentation and documentation, learn about the device

and framework.

5. Start developing your own application right away. Use the

framework and examples as an instant starting point.

software and learn how the system is put together.

Depending on your experience and needs there are two options for getting started with controlSUITE. New users or users who

want to learn about developing a system should start with an evaluation kit or application kit. Users who have used MCUs

before, have extensive expertise in their application space, and are looking to take advantage of C2000’s powerful C28x core

and unique advanced peripherals should start from a device they have selected for their application.
