This is the page with step-by-step instructions on how to set up a development environment on your own machine.
Any questions or if I made any mistakes please contact @Chad Zhao on discord.

Since the writing of this document, we have changed the processor for the TMS570LS1224 to the RM46L852. Some of the screenshots will still have the old processor names on them.
just pretend that it says the name of the new processor. I've changed most of the text to reflect the new processor.
This document was written right after I got my setup to work properly, which means I still have very limited knowledge of the different software and systems at the time of writing.
I ran into various issues which were solved with a lot of google searching and forum browsing. This is what most of the information on this page comes from, this means you could maybe find better resources out there, but I already spent a long time doing that. So this is my best summary to help new members onboard, or at least save some time for you to not go through the same things I did.
The document might be a little long, this is because I try to provide explanations on why we are doing something, or what something does. If you just want the quickest way to get up and running and play around with things yourself. (which is a perfectly valid way to learn) I try to underline the most important instructions.
You will need a development board for our microprocessor of choice https://www.ti.com/tool/LAUNCHXL2-TMS5701
See the Processor Page for details
If you don't yet have a board, you can still complete this up to the step where you actually create the launch configuration and deploy the code.
