Kit Overview

The TMS570LS31x Hercules Development Kit (TMDX570LS31HDKTMDX570LS31HDK) is ideal for getting started on development with the Hercules platform of safety microcontrollers. The HDK is based on the Texas Instruments TMS570LS3137 Microcontroller. The TMS570LS31 HDK is a table top card that allows engineers and software developers to evaluate certain characteristics of the TMS570LS3137 microcontroller to determine if the microcontroller meets the designer’s application requirements as well as begin early application development. Evaluators can create software to execute on board or expand the system in a variety of ways.

The kit is comprised of a development board, a DC power supply, a mini-B USB cable, an Ethernet cable and a software installation DVD that includes Code Composer Studio IDE, HALCoGen, nowFlash, HET IDE, demo software and code examples. The development board features an on board XDS100v2 JTAG emulator along with access to the MCU’s communication interfaces and all peripheral pins.

The HDK is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio and other third party ARM IDEs. The IDE communicates with the board through the embedded emulator or an external JTAG emulator. To start, follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install Hercules-specific software. This process will install all of the necessary development tools, documentation and drivers.

The TMS570LS3137 device integrates the ARM Cortex-R4F Floating-Point CPU which offers an efficient 1.66 DMIPS/MHz, and has configurations which can run up to 180 MHz, providing up to 298 DMIPS. The device supports the word-invariant big-endian [BE32] format. The TMS570LS3137 device has 3MB of integrated flash and 256KB of data RAM with single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection. The flash memory on this device is a nonvolatile, electrically erasable and programmable memory implemented with a 64-bit-wide data bus interface. The flash operates on a 3.3-V supply input (same level as I/O supply) for all read, program and erase operations. When in pipeline mode, the flash operates with a system clock frequency of up to 180 MHz. The SRAM supports single-cycle read and write accesses in byte, halfword, word and double-word modes.

Key Applications: Braking Systems (Antilock Brake Systems and Electronic Stability Control), Electric Power Steering, HEV and EV Inverter Systems, Battery Management Systems, Active Driver Assistance Systems, Aerospace and Avionics, Railway Communications, Off-road Vehicles
