Hello! I am trying to to change the frequency of MCLK (to 8.0 MHz) on the MSP430FG4618. But I cant get it to exactly to 8.0 MHz. According to my calculations, N should be 121, but am having to hard time figuring it out. Here is my code: #include void main (void) { WDTCTL = WDTHOLD | WDTPW; //Stop Watchdog Timer P1DIR |= BIT1; //set port pin P1.1 to output directi

I have a design that has a large Flash (4Mbit), and wish to download a firmware into the Flash, and then have the MCU update the program memory with the new firmware. I found messages/articles about a custom boot loader using the F5XXX. I am using the MSP430F4783, which I don't think has this option. Would the above be possible for the MSP430F4783? ------------------------------------ ...

Hello, In search of various MSP430 architectural details for an academic research project, I've been unable to find information on whether MSP430 microcontrollers use caches. According to slaa498 , the FRAM parts use an instruction cache in front of the FRAM because the MCU's clock rate can be triple the FRAM's, but I can't find any information

Hello Everyone, I wonder if someone ever faced this problem: I built a new PCB using the MSP430F2132, based on a older (functional) project. Very simple circuit and standard JTAG interface. On the new boards, when I try to flash the software, for example using MSP430Flasher and MSP-GET430UIF, I get this error: msp430flasher -n msp430f2132 -w mainkernel.hex -v Evaluating add...

Hey Folks, I'm about at my wits end with trying to get IAR to work with my new Windows 7 32-bit computer. Has anyone else experienced these problems, and can anyone please tell me how they overcame the issues? At first, I installed the latest version listed in my IAR "my pages" section: 5.50.1. I had many issues getting past the licensing and dongle issues. The installation pla...
