Attention: It is strongly recommended to begin development by following the steps in the order listed below.

Note: The steps in this user guide show screen shots and descriptions based on Windows. However the steps in Linux would remain the same, unless mentioned otherwise.; ${SDK_INSTALL_PATH} refers to the path where the SDK is installed. Recommend to install in C:/ti in Windows, and ${HOME}/ti in Linux. To install to other locations, refer Installing SDK at non-default location; {some text} refers to a variable string that should be replaced by user and {some text} should not be typed verbatim on the command prompt.; In Windows, use the cmd.exe as command prompt and in Linux, use the bash shell as the command prompt.

Introduction

Getting Started Goals

On successful completion of below steps, you would have achieved the following

All tools needed for development are installed
IDK setup needed for development is verified
CCS IDE setup needed for development is verified
One SDK example has been built using makefile as well as CCS project
One SDK example has been loaded and run on the IDK
Output console logs on CCS and UART are working as expected

Terms and Abbreviations

Term	Description
I2C Controller	I2C device generates the SCL clock and initiates communication
I2C Target	I2C device which responds to I2C Controller

Getting Started Steps

Step 1: Download, install SDK and related tools, see Download, Install and Setup SDK and Tools [NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE when SDK is installed]
Step 2: Download, install and setup CCS for development, see Download, Install and Setup CCS [NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE when SDK is installed]
Step 3: Setup IDK for program execution, see IDK Setup
Step 4: Build a "hello world" example for the IDK, see Build a Hello World example
Step 5: Load and run the "hello world" example on the IDK, see CCS Launch, Load and Run

Next Steps

Now you can explore the SDK by running more examples (see Examples and Demos) and browsing through various developer notes (see Developer Guides), to understand the SDK better and develop your own applications with the SDK.
