ControlSUITE Slide 3

Let’s look at the motivation for controlSUITE. These are some of the questions engineers have to answer while evaluating a new microcontroller. It’s not just the device specifications and performance that matters, but everything around it as well. It starts with the software tools and debug tools. What development environment should they use? What software tools are there? And then they take a closer look at development for that device. How does it work? What support do they have, and what libraries can they use? Finally, they’ll think about their application and how the microcontroller fits. How will they integrate it into the application? How will this microcontroller help me differentiate and achieve my goals? controlSUITE answers all of these questions. As you can see, controlSUITE addresses each of those stages. It starts with Code Composer Studio v4. This is TI’s Eclipse-based IDE for all microcontrollers, with full C/C++ support and unique TI debugging and system tools such as the SYSBIOS real-time operating system. There are also a wide range of code generation, modeling, and simulation tools from C2000’s Developer’s Network to aid in software development. For the device, controlSUITE will provide 3 different ways to program the device depending on the user’s experience and background. Libraries and utilities, such as IQMath for virtual floating-point, are also there to help with programming. Each piece of code comes with detailed documentation, and FAQ’s, walkthroughs, and tutorials to help users to learn the device. On the application side, controlSUITE includes software for a variety of devices and applications. Major focus applications include digital motor control and digital power. Each software bundle is part of a fully implemented system with the hardware itself, open schematics and layouts, and open software. controlSUITE focuses on two things – content, and content delivery. This slide goes over the content within controlSUITE.
