Welcome to F29x Motor Control SDK (MCSDK). The Motor Control SDK for F29x™ Real-time MCU is a cohesive set of reference design solutions, tools, and documentation designed to minimize development time of F29x MCU-based Motor Control system targeted for various three-phase motor control applications.

The software includes firmware that runs on F29x motor control evaluation modules (EVMs) and TI designs (TIDs) which are targeted for industrial drive and other motor control applications. A copy of the F29x™ MCU is provided as part of the SDK and hence offers device-specific drivers and support software to complete examples in sophisticated system applications.

Getting Started

To get started, see Getting Started page.

Note: Please read this section to determine the mininum requirec version of CCS, Sysconfig, and the C29 Compiler.

Block Diagram

Shown below is the software ecosystem of the F29x™ MCU, comprised of different tools, reference designs, and various drivers and libraries:

The F29x Motor Control SDK, along with a contained version of the F29x SDK , mostly consists of TI reference design application software applicable to each domain.

For an overview and summary of reference designs this SDK offers, see Reference Designs page.

F29MotorControlSDKUpdater.exe		Checks and prompt to download & install newer versions

SDK updater

"F29xMotorControlSDKUpdater.exe" is provided as a method to check for newer versions of F29x Motor Control SDK.

This updater checks if a newer version is available for download. When a new version becomes available, the option will be given to secure download the package from a TI server onto a predetermined download directory. Upon download completion, the new installer will be automatically invoked and proceed to guide the user with the new SDK installation.

SDK GUI (Resource Explorer)

F29x Motor Control SDK also provides a GUI for intuitive navigation of software, libraries, user's guides, as well as seemless CCS project import. The GUI has now been a part of TI Resource Explorer, which is accessible within CCS or CCS Cloud, go to "View->Resource Explorer" and locate F29x Motor Control SDK content.
