Throughout this document, TMS320F2809, TMS320F2808, TMS320F2806, TMS320F2802PZA-60, TMS320F2801, TMS320C2802, TMS320C2801, TMS320F28015, and TMS32028016 are abbreviated as F2809, F2808, F2806, F2802, F2801, F28015, F28016, C2802, and C2801, respectively. TMS320F28015 and TMS320F28016 are abbreviated as F2801x. Table 2-1 provides a summary of features for each device.
TMS320F2802PZA-60Getting Started
This section gives a brief overview of the steps to take when first developing for a C28x device. For more detail on each of these steps, see the following:
Getting Started With TMS320C28x Digital Signal Controllers (literature number SPRAAM0).
C2000 Getting Started Website
Step 1. Acquire the appropriate development tools
The quickest way to begin working with a C28x device is to acquire an eZdsp kit for initial development, which, in one package, includes:
On-board JTAG emulation via USB or parallel port Appropriate emulation driver Code Composer Studio IDE for eZdsp
Once you have become familiar with the device and begin developing on your own hardware, purchase Code Composer Studio IDE separately for software development and a JTAG emulation tool to get started on your project.
Step 2. Download starter software
To simplify programming for C28x devices, it is recommended that users download and use
the C/C++ Header Files and Example(s) to begin developing software for the C28x devices and their various peripherals.
After downloading the appropriate header file package for your device, refer to the following
resources for step-by-step instructions on how to run the peripheral examples and use the header file structure for your own software
The Quick Start Readme in the /doc directory to run your first application.

Step 3. Download flash programming software
Many C28x devices include on-chip flash memory and tools that allow you to program the flash with your software IP.
