At the SFU Satellite Design Team, we are taking part in the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. As part of the challenge, we were offered the chance to put some of our hardware in a proton beam at the TRIUMF facility, Canada’s national lab for nuclear and particle physics.

This tutorial covers installing and running HALCoGen for TI Hercules/TMS570 MCUs on a mac or Linux machine using WINE. I first started using HALCoGen for the SFU Satellite Design Team, where we’re developing an onboard computer using the TI Hercules/TMS570 microcontrollers.
