1 LAUNCHXL-F28027 Overview
1.1 Overview
The C2000™ Piccolo™ LaunchPad™, LAUNCHXL-F28027, is a complete low-cost experimenter board
for the Texas Instruments Piccolo F2802x devices. The LAUNCHXL-F28027 kit features all the hardware
and software necessary to develop applications based on the F2802x microprocessor. The LaunchPad is
based on the superset F28027 device, and easily allows users to migrate to lower cost F2802x devices
once the design needs are known. It offers an on-board JTAG emulation tool allowing direct interface to a
PC for easy programming, debugging, and evaluation. In addition to JTAG emulation, the USB interface
provides a UART serial connection from the F2802x device to the host PC.
Users can download an unrestricted version of Code Composer Studio™ IDE version 5 to write,
download, and debug applications on the LAUNCHXL-F28027 board. The debugger is unobtrusive,
allowing the user to run an application at full speed with hardware breakpoints and single stepping
available while consuming no extra hardware resources.
As shown in Figure 1, the LAUNCHXL-F28027 C2000 LaunchPad features include:
• USB debugging and programming interface via a high-speed galvanically isolated XDS100v2 emulator
featuring a USB/UART connection.
• Superset F28027 device which allows applications to easily migrate to lower cost devices.
• Nibble (4-bit) wide LED display.
• Two push buttons for user feedback and device reset.
• Easily accessible device pins for debugging purposes or as sockets for adding customized extension
boards.
• Boot selection and USB and UART disconnect switches.
