Live firmware update reference design with C2000™ real-time MCUs

Description

This reference design illustrates live firmware update (LFU) without device reset on a C2000™ real-time MCU: on both the C28x CPU and the control law accelerator (CLA). The software available with this design helps accelerate your time to market. LFU without device reset is an important consideration for high availability systems similar to server power supply units (PSU): where downtime needs to be minimized. Review compiler version guidance in the design guide when using the C2000WARE-DIGITALPOWER-SDK with this reference design.
