controlCARD

USB Docking Station

The development tool for this workshop will be the TMS320F28069 Experimenter’s Kit. The kit

consists of a controlCARD and USB Docking Station. It is a self-contained system that plugs

into a free USB port on your computer. The USB port provides power, as well as communicates

to the onboard JTAG emulation controller. LED LD1 on the Docking Station and LED LD1 on

the controlCARD illuminates when the board is powered. LED LD2 on the controlCARD is

connected to GPIO34. We will be using this LED as a visual indicator during the lab exercises.

The GPIO and ADC lines from the F28069 device are pinned out to the Docking Station headers.

We will be using a jumper wire to connect various GPIO and ADC lines on these headers.

When comparing the Delfino and Piccolo product lines, you will notice that the Piccolo F2806x

devices share many features with the Delfino product line. The Delfino product line is shown in

the table by the F2833x column; therefore, the F28069, being the most feature-rich Piccolo

device, was chosen as the platform for this workshop. The knowledge learned from this device

will be applicable to all C2000 product lines.

C2000 Microcontroller Workshop - Architecture Overview 1 - 1

Architecture Overview

Introduction

This architectural overview introduces the basic architecture of the C2000™ Piccolo™ series of

microcontrollers from Texas Instruments. The Piccolo™ series adds a new level of general

purpose processing ability unseen in any previous DSP/MCU chips. The C2000™ is ideal for

applications combining digital signal processing, microcontroller processing, efficient C code

execution, and operating system tasks.

Unless otherwise noted, the terms C28x, F28x and F2806x refer to TMS320F2806x devices

throughout the remainder of these notes. For specific details and differences please refer to the

device data sheet and user’s guide.

Module Objectives

When this module is complete, you should have a basic understanding of the F28x architecture

and how all of its components work together to create a high-end, uniprocessor control system.

Module Objectives

Review the F28x block diagram and

device features

Describe the F28x bus structure and

memory map

Identify the various memory blocks on

the F28x

Identify the peripherals available on

the F28x

What is the TMS320C2000™?

The TMS320C2000™ is a 32-bit fixed point microcontroller that specializes in high performance

control applications such as, robotics, industrial automation, mass storage devices, lighting,

optical networking, power supplies, and other control applications needing a single processor to

solve a high performance application.

This block diagram represents an overview of all device features and is not specific to any one

device. The F28069 device is designed around a multibus architecture, also known as a modified

Harvard architecture. This can be seen in the block diagram by the separate program bus and data

bus, along with the link between the two buses. This type of architecture greatly enhances the

performance of the device.

In the upper left area of the block diagram, you will find the memory section, which consists of

the boot ROM, sectored flash, and RAM. Also, you will notice that the six-channel DMA has its

own set of buses.

In the lower left area of the block diagram, you will find the execution section, which consists of

a 32-bit by 32-bit hardware multiplier, a read-modify-write atomic ALU, a floating-point unit,

and a Viterbi complex math CRC unit. The control law accelerator coprocessor is an independent

and separate unit that has its own set of buses.

The peripherals are grouped on the right side of the block diagram. The upper set is the control

peripherals, which consists of the ePWM, eCAP, eQEP, and ADC. The lower set is the

communication peripherals and consists of the multichannel buffered serial port, I2C, SCI, SPI,

CAN, and USB.

The PIE block, or Peripheral Interrupt Expansion block, manages the interrupts from the

peripherals. In the bottom right corner is the general-purpose I/O. Also, the CPU has a watchdog

module and three 32-bit general-purpose timers available.

TMS320C2000™ Internal Bussing

As with many DSP-type devices, multiple busses are used to move data between the memories

and peripherals and the CPU. The F28x memory bus architecture contains:

•A program read bus (22-bit address line and 32-bit data line)

•A data read bus (32-bit address line and 32-bit data line)

•A data write bus (32-bit address line and 32-bit data line)

The 32-bit-wide data busses provide single cycle 32-bit operations. This multiple bus

architecture, known as a Harvard Bus Architecture, enables the F28x to fetch an instruction, read

a data value and write a data value in a single cycle. All peripherals and memories are attached to

the memory bus and will prioritize memory accesses.
