The labs are designed for 8301 and 8305 gate drivers. They interface to the MCU differently, including by SPI, compared to the GaN board. The same lab that spins a 8301-based board will not work with a GaN-based board. There are clear instructions, including .c and .h files, to adapt Lab02a to the GaN board by copying the entire 8301 lab tree, replacing five .c/.h files, and changing some path variables. Lab02a works when these instructions are followed. Motor resistance, inductance and flux are all measured correctly and the motor spins nicely. But there is no documentation I can find of how to do a similar adaptation of any of the other labs after Lab02a. I could list specific symptoms, but the bottom line is, those labs are designed for an 8301-based board and this is a different board so they don't work with this board. Clearly, TI has not yet finished the work to publish revised labs for this board, but equally clearly, someone went to the trouble to adapt Lab02a with that goal in mind. My hope is that this means there is some document, somewhere, or individual expertise, somewhere, that can shortcut the work needed to adapt the remaining labs on our own, by listing the general types of changes needed. Or perhaps a pre-release version we can kick the tires on? Thanks in advance for any guidance, Jeff
