HIC

Host Interface Controller (HIC) allows the external host processor (controller) to access the peripherals of the device (responder). The host just needs to have an asram interface to access HIC on responder. The software support in C2000Ware includes the driverlib which can be used to configure the responder in different modes such as mailbox mode or direct access mode based on the latency requirements or pin overhead considerations. It also has reference examples to demonstrate multiple applications which have been test on TI Internal Validation Platform. User reference guide for examples can be found at SPRACR2

HIC examples in C2000Ware:

  1. HIC 16-bit Memory Access FSI Example - Example demonstrates the configuration required to use the FSI peripheral on the device by the host. The host side example at <C2000Ware Installation Directory>/driverlib/f2838x/examples/c28x/emif/emif_ex7_16bit_asram_hic_fsi. The device side example at <C2000Ware Installation Directory>/driverlib/f28002x/examples/hic/hic_ex3_config_16bit_fsi

  2. HIC 8-bit Memory Access ADC Example - Example demonstrates the configuration required to use the ADC peripheral on the device by the host. The host side example at <C2000Ware Installation Directory>/driverlib/f2838x/examples/c28x/emif/emif_ex8_8bit_asram_hic_adc. The device side example at <C2000Ware Installation Directory>/driverlib/f28002x/examples/hic/hic_ex2_config_8bit_adc
