Hello, When I toggle a GPIO on my MSP430 processor I have (or at least I think I have :) a clean understanding of what happens. I can relate the frequency of the toggling to the instructions used and the clock speed of the CPU. Nothing strange happens. The MSP430 runs the instructions below: /* Put 0xAA in the r15 register. */ mov.b #-86, r15 /* Write the contents of r15 on p...

Hi all, I?ve read the C code made by Xilinix to program a FPGA using an embedded microcontroller. The application is written to fit the 8051 and I have to port it into a MSP430f1232 to program a Spartan 3. In the application description it says it is easy to port the code into others microcontroller and it is only needed to change few functions in the file ports.c but my GCC refuses to com

Just got the USB version, eZ430-2013 Development tool, but It's not being rocognized by my PCs. Can anyone help? I just emailed TI, and while I wait for reply, thought I'ld ask here. I followed all installation instructions. When I plug it in USB, it's recognized as a MSP-FET430UIF JTAG device, then up pops the Hardware Wizard looking for a driver. I browse to where TI says to, but to no a...

Hi, I am trying to get the value of an input DC voltage in an MSP430. I am using the ADC C code examples provided by TI but I am not getting the correct reading. Has anybody work with something like this before and can help?

Hi. I recently bought a msp-fet430u80 kit form TI and installed MSPGCC . Im used to make desings with PICs from Microchip but this TI MCU for me is really new and I think that I require a little bit of help, so if somebody just can advice me or answer this message, could probably help me a lot. My questions/troubles are: 1- Is there any C command guide for MSPGCC in where I can read how t...

Hi I would like to know if there is a guide, or someone could explain me, which are the steps to configure the MSP-FET430UIF (U80) in Ubuntu. I have the mspgcc compiler working, so I generetad a .o and .elf files from a basic source code, but I had no luck downloading the code to the MCU. I tried to use msp430-gdb but my software never worked. Is someone familiar to what Im doing? If someo...

Followup to the message I posted the other week about Nokia 2260 LCDs for my Babylonian clock... the electronics are now working. The clock starts at 10:12:10 and ends at 10:13:08 in this video; you get to see most of the digits. It was slightly tricky to fit the 59 digits (at 32 x 22 pixels) into the 2K MSP430; I wound up making a set of sub-

Hi, I'm trying to clock the CPU (MSP430F1611) to 8,000,000 Hz and I've run into some problems. Making the CPU to actually run at 8MHz was easy enough: DCOCTL = DCO0 + DCO1 + DCO2; /* 0xE0 */ BCSCTL1 = XT2OFF + RSEL0 + RSEL1 + RSEL2; /* 0x87 */ However, the UART1 stopped working. What I've got so far is: void uart1_init( unsigned int ubr ) { /* RS232 */ P3DIR &= ~0...

Hi all, I just received my ez430 and the extra modules (with MSP430F2012) and I am just trying to get my head round some basic stuff, like reading in a port value to detect pushbuttons etc. I must say I am not very experienced so please be gentle :) I've connected two pushbuttons, one to P1.3 and one to P1.4 and they are pulled up to Vcc with 10K resistors. I've hooked them up to my mul...

Are there any situations where programming an embedded processor "requires" at least some assembly code? How about for AVR, MSP430, 68HC11, 8051(Atmel)? Can these 4 microcontrollers be programmed fully in C without touching assembly (even interrupts and etc.)?

Hi everyone, I have interfaced a Micro SD card to a MSP430 microcontroller using the SPI mode. Everything worked perfectly fine but I recently had problems when writing too often into my files. Here is my setup. As I said the card (SDHC 4Go) is directly connected to the microcontroller via its USCI (SPI) peripheral. I have written the basic SD access (register read / write, basically...

I'm trying to locate a structure in MSP430 info memory using Rowley CrossWorks (a preinitialized structure, so it appears in the .txt file). Is there a pragma or other directive similar to IAR's that will directly place my structure in info memory without having to play with custom segment names and special linker control info? ISTR having done this in the past but cannot remember how to do i...

Dear all, I am new here, and I would like to ask something about implementing fixed-priority preemptive scheduling(rate monotonic aproach) on MSP430 family. Can anyone tell me what is usual way to implement call of scheduler's dispatcher? For example if there are two tasks, high priority HPTask and low LPTask. Assume that LPTask is active and in the middle of its execution HPTask becomes r...
