Google Groups is being recalcitrant these past couple of days, so I have no idea if the world will see this, but I've just released free C source to my embedded FAT filesystem. I've tested this code on a variety of platforms, including ARM, AVR and MSP430. I know there are several such filesystems in the world, but this one meets my particular requirements for functionality vs. footprint - ...

I cannot use the MSP430 ROM BSL, because the custom board, already in production, has a connector with the UARTs signals (not the hw BSL signals), and we cannot make hardware changes (it is a pity we cannot configure the hw BSL signals). To run the my BSL I only modify the reset vector, set = 0xF000. So at reset the MSP430 starts my BSL. It waits a bit for a firmware upload at the UARTs, a...

Hello All, I am using IAR Embedded Work bench C/C++ compiler for MSP 430 devices. I would like to program the fuse of MSP430 chip using JTAG interface. I studied from MSP 430 Embedded Workbench User guide, which directed me to use the 'Secure' option in the Emulator menu after downloading the Software using JTAG interface. I downloaded the software using JTAG interface & found that the...

Hello All, I am using IAR C/C++ compiler for MSP430. In the project I am sending some data through MSP430 to another chip through I2C.I have made MSP430 as slave. While debugging I want to change manually the contains of I2CRB through register window,but its not allowing me to do,again the contains will come to its default value. I found in the header file supplied with the IAR package of MS...

I'm working on a project using a TI MSP430. The compiler/IDE tool (IAR) wants to run on Windows. To download new flash code, it want me to use zmodem protocol over a serial line. Which seems to be pretty straightforward on Windows using Hyperterminal. I haven't used a modem or serial communications program in this century. Is there a nice linux way to do the same thing? Thx -- ...

Hi, I am testing IAR Kickstart to program MSP430 EasyWeb3 board . I want to program and debug this board by using MSP430-JTAG (cost 14.95 $) from http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=15 But I only found MSP-FET tools for debug, how can I configure to debug and program with this MSP430-JTAG on my board Regards, nyt2005

Greetings. I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum for this query but I haven't been able to find a forum dedicated to the MSP430 port of GDB. I am using msp430-gdb GNU gdb 5.1.1 Code is compiled with msp430-gcc version 3.3 debugging options are enabled. msp430-gdb works fine except that arguments to functions can't be examined. Ie when I put a breakpoint inside a function the values i...

I'm working with the ms430-449STK2 olimex development kit that IAR distributes with its software, "XT2 = 8Mhz" The problem is that I can't select the XT2 as a clock source for the MCLK. In fact I make this instruction: FLL_CTL1 = (SELS + SELM1) & (~XT2OFF); and the IAR IDE show me that the right bits are sets, as follows: SELM1 = 1 SELM0 = 0 XT20FF= 0 SELS = 1 However the MCLK w...

The TI MSP430 looks like an interesting chip. The low power operation allows 16 bit adc onchip. Now they seem to be doing the sort of things that microchip did in the past such as free seminars and low cost development tools. Like most companies, we have a lot of software written for other microcontrollers, but we will certainly look at TI for new designs. www.ti.com/ez430

Hi, I am using MSP430F1101 with a 32.768kHz crystal. I have 100 samples fabricated but I find that 20% of them could not start. At the beginning of the firmware, I have a loop to lock the DCO frequency to 2MHz using the external 32.768kHz as reference. I suspect the MSP430 cannot lock the DCO and stay in the loop forever. Did anyone have this problem before? Thanks for your help! Fei...

Hello to all, does anyone has the specifications of ti's new spy-bi-wire interface? I am working with MSPGCC and some own boot equipment (serial and usb) on Linux since 2002 and I don't want to leave this very efficient unix environment. My plan is to modify my existing usb2serial board (TUSB3410 with a MSP430F148 attached) for the spy-bi-wire so it would be usable on my linux box. Be...

Everyone, Earlier I posted some macros that allow you to easily define binary constants in C (see http://cprog.tomsweb.net/binconst.txt). Playing similar tricks with the preprocessor, I now created some macros that allow you to make easy abstraction of port I/O's. It's written for the MSP430 but the concept can be applied to other embedded architectures. You simply define your signal lo...

I just received this package (TI msp430 - eZ430-F2013 Development tool) and got around to looking at the CDROM. It claims to function with W2000 and/or XP. I am running W98FE, and am willing to mount W98SE if necessary. Does anybody know if that will work with it? Even better would be functionality on Linux. On skimming through the documentation I cannot see how much memory actually ...

As a follow on to my previous message about building sensors around the MSP430 chip, I'm curious if anybody has a good resource for finding what paripheral/interface chips are available with an SPI interface. The MSP430 can be interfaced with lots of chips through other means, but using the SPI interface is easy and cheap and would allow me to make a "standard sensor" platform with variable i...
