I am attempting to use the TLE9879 EvalKit version 1.3 with a QLB4208 motor with Hall sensors and ran into multiple discrepancies regarding the Hall connections.

In abstract.txt:
/** Hall A - P0.3 : green (Motor Hall B) **/
/** Hall B - P0.4 : white (Motor Hall C) **/
/** Hall C - P1.2 : blue (Motor Hall A) **/

Note that in the above, the comments do not agree. Also note that the colors per the QLB4208 documentation match the parameters inside the parentheses.

In the default wizard file:
4835.attach


The above agrees with the first characters in each line of abstract.txt (but not the documentation with the motor).

In bchall_defines.h:
#define BCHALL_INPUT_A (0x0) /*decimal 0*/
#define BCHALL_INPUT_B (0x1) /*decimal 1*/
#define BCHALL_INPUT_C (0x1) /*decimal 1*/

This seems quite odd. I suppose the values could be in some type of code, but that the values for B and C are the same does not appear to make sense.

With the sample file loaded from BLDC_BC_HALL_EXAMPLE_TLE987X, the voltages at pins P0.3, P0.4 and P1.2 are 2.6V, which also seems odd.

Any help sorting this out will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,
No matter the suqence of ABC.In Hall register, the sequence of Hall signal is CCPOS2 CCPOS1 CCPOS0.

Thank you Liang Xiao. I now have a motor spinning.

Perhaps I am missing some top-level documentation. For example, I don't see how to change the speed or direction of the motor, which I assume using the eval board should be easy.
