Thanks octal! Via the forum.

.. and as usual with TI, the shipping was prompt. Mine arrived Friday!
Any chance they’ll have a Linux compatible IDE or at least compiler and loader any time soon?
You can use TI’s CCSv5 for linux. It supports C2000. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS
I have one of these. Anyone have any sample projects they have used it for?
Thank You
There is a whole bundle of software associated with each of the C2000 devices. Check out controlSUITE on the TI website.

Once downloaded, you can find example projects for the controlSTICK in this directory (assuming you installed in the default location):
C:\TI\controlSUITE\development_kits\F28069 controlSTICK
Enjoy your new toys!
