I started a project several years ago using this chip and the IAR (full) IDE. It has been a very successful product for us. It originally started as a small memory model. Over the years, it has grown by adding increased capabilities (mostly adding configuration data for new situations). This growth caused me to move to the medium data model about a year ago. My memory isn't really good, but it see...

Thought I'd add a discussion of a c implementation iterators, since we are back on my favorite subject. ;) Suppose I wanted to iterate through a binary tree that includes a left and right branch. (Not a graph, let's say.) [Iterators are even better in ways when the iteration algorithm isn't so simple (so not so easy to code repetitively where needed) abd is quite complex and not recur...

I've been using the MSP430G2553 LaunchPad for a number of projects, but realized I ran out of IO ports. Future projects: 6 digit 7 Segment display with up to 8 interrupts and 2 timers Probably 32 IO ports. 4 ADC ports Also need to be able to prototype beyond the evaluation boards Any suggestions as to the next level evaluation board and processor, There's just too many to choice from...

I'm a Junior Programmer (waiting for my MSP430 LaunchPad kit), but I'm not an expert in Electronics. How is it possible to make the PC Operating System (Shell or Programming Language) control MSP430 LaunchPad electric/electronic inputs/outputs? Is it possible to do this using the USB port which is also used for programming the microcontroller? Is there an easier way to do it? For examp...

Hi, I develop for the MSP430F5418A using IAR, and the TI USB programmer box works fine in that environment. We tried to use the Elprotronic free software with the TI USB box and are having big trouble. It works, then it can't see the box. A box works once and never again. A laptop/programmer pair that worked fine no longer works. It's very frustrating. We can't afford IAR licenses for o...

Another gripe, just when I thought I'd found a use for the FRAM parts, Ti go and tick me off again. I veered away from Ti's Rf parts some time ago. the CC1100 was so loaded with critical Errata, and Ti never fixed them, the Cc1101 was as bad. Now I'm looking at moving back because the CC112x looks like a nice part, and fits with my small is good ethos. So I went online loking for info, g...

Hi, i am developing a project and we are still discussing if we should include USB on our device. My main concern is about the USB stack footprint. I will need to implement a very very simple HID device just to trasfer data. Why to not use bulk? Becouse i dont need that transfer rate so HID is more suitable as i wont need to develop a driver. I will probably be using a MSP430F5 device with 16...

Hello! I would like to know if there is a way of making my own templates in IAR. I have quite a tree of code accumulated in my version tool for many years. When starting a project, it always takes time to configure all the paths. And in the case of (for instance) a data logger, it's always the same set of paths, all similar. Therefore I would be happy if I could create for a logger templat...

Progress: (Originally 5419A Timer problem and 8KB KickStart limit) 8K Kickstart limit: Resolved. Timer problem: Unresolved. The timer problem is now driving me crazy. I have two programming environments that are closely related. Each uses the KickStart for MSP430 Version 5.4 tools. One is entirely within Kickstart, the other is outside of Kickstart. Environment 1: Kickstart A...

I'm looking for a little guidance about any "gotchas" related to the TI-pro= vided flash BSL in the F54xxA series devices. So far, I've reviewed the SL= AU319B documentation and come away with more questions than answers. Please note, I have prety good long-term experience with using the ROM-base= d BSL on the older MSP430F149 series. I developed a set of in-house softwa= re tools for ser...
