You're asking about a software simulator. I've only used the one provided by IAR - but it is impressive. It's configurable and you can program IRQ's - etc. I think the simulator may work in the free 8KB version - you can go to www.iar.com and take a look.

I am looking for a secure usb dongle kind of device(Maybe similar to the TI MSP430 development board) with an onboard controller and LAMP(linux apache mysql and perl) OR equivalent platform. The application for such a device is to release an internal web based application for the general market. I have been googling for sometime but the result pages are mostly about USB key drive with a...

If I wanted to program 14-pin DIP MSP430s, is it as simple as taking an eZ430 target module, removing the surface-mounted MSP430, and wiring a DIP socket to the 14 pin terminals?

I don't want to start a religious war, but could a few knowledgeable people give me their impressions of the relative advantages of PIC vs AVR? Assume that I will be using both, to some extent, for some time, and want to know what their relative advantages are. Throw in MSP430 too if you'd like. I'm mostly using PICs right now but am stuck on the fact that MPLAB requires you to have w...

Hi, I try to debug function parameters inside a function. I am going nuts doing this. I don't know why I didn't notice problems before, but this is what I do. I have a function call myresult_t DoSomething(portSHORT command, portSHORT* status); I call this with portSHORT command = 0x0000; portSHORT status = 0xCCCC; (with portSHORT being 16bit wide) DoSomething(command, &status); ...

I've been planning on using a MSP430 for all my very low powered control work for a while, and was about to order the dev kit ($99, cant argue with taht). Eventually I'd like to get TinyOS running, hopefully to simplify some of my own work, and I noticed that 2 of the 3 reference platforms are ATmega128 platforms. I'm pretty sure the MSP430 cant be beat for power consumption, but i really...

Anybody know which MSP430 programmers work well with Linux? I was thinking of getting the ez430, which is almost free, but I read in an earler thread here that the USB interface was proprietary and Windows XP only. Nobody's paying me for this one, so it has to be fun, and that means not dragging out the Windows box. :) I'd rather pay more in dollars upfront for some hardware that works tha...

Using Cywin, msp430gcc etc on my laptop running XP I've finally managed to compile & get the code running in the hardware (yes it blinks....woohoo) I've been trying to find out out to confiure the initialization for the gdb debugger. The documentation and googling tells me I should be able to find a gdb.ini or x.gdbinit file into which I can enter the: *remote address *remotetimeout ...

I have this love-hate relationship with TI's documentation. On one hand, once you understand a module, you can use it on any micro. On the other hand, the cross-referenced docs are usually inconsistent and /always/ very confusing. (I still haven't worked out how to connect, let alone use, the sigma-delta ADC, and every time I try to use a timer on an MSP430 I wind up playing with clock contro...

A few weeks ago I posted a request asking for cheap (vs Olimex's MSP430 boards) EVBs with Ethernet to build a proof of concept and then use the design as the basis of a low-volume production run. I can't seem to find that thread, but here's a summary of what I decided: Someone in that thread suggested Rabbit. It is a long time since I looked at Rabbit, but I took a look, talked to their sal...

Hello Folks, Looks like I'll have to debug code for a small uC (MSP430) in the field pretty soon. Cramped space, things can be banged around a bit, the usual. What would be a small, low cost and bare minimum laptop to do that with? Or is there a nice PDA where a keyboard can connect to? The programmers work via USB. The bootloader I may have to provide would be RS232 but that could b...

Hello, for an estimation of required computing time I would like to roughly know the time that current controllers need for math operations (addition/subtraction, multiplication, division, and also logarithm) in single and/or double precision floating point format (assuming common compilers). The MCUs in question are ARM7TDMI of NXP/Atmel flavour (LPC2000 or SAM7), and Texas MSP430. ...

Hi to all. i'm using the flash programming in my project: from time to time device adds some data to info memory. The algorithm of read/write operation with segments is according to datasheet slau056e.pdf. All devices were verifying out and there were no troubles with them. But after a time some devices(for about 30) had fallen out. Examination had shown that instead of the data there ...

Hi, I have an MSP430 and set the watchdog timer, however, when I cut power off and return power, sometimes it'll reset, and sometimes it won't. If I check with my debugger where it's getting stuck, it's just between two lines that say something like e30 BITB.B #4, 0X0028 e34 jnz 0Xe30 and it will loop forever there, however this will only happen part of the time, other times it'll work...

Hi all, I am using MSP430F1121A on my board and its is connected on the I2C bus. I need to validate the I2C on board on CCS platform without any drivers. I am able to test the I2C for a Video Decoder, aslo on board by sending the addresses of the device as well as the registers that i want to read. However i dont get anything like this for MSP430. all i know is the MSP430 is programmed its addr...

I everybody, i have a big problem with the DMA and SPI modules, i working with the msp4301611 and i use the module spi0 like a slave 3-wire, the DMA module is configured to the channel 0 for the RX0 and channel 1 for TX0, the module spi1 is configure like master 3-wire. The problem is that the UTXIFG0 is never clearing by the DMA, in consequence never can transmit my data, but the weird i...

Hi! I have an application running on F1101a which I want to migrate to F2001 (I don't use all the I/Os and the lack of POR reset in F1101a is not a feature that I like). Now, I did all my firmware development under open source tools using mspgcc and their python driven tools to program MSP430 parts (I've used both the JTAG and the BSL). It was especially convenient for me since I'm usin...

Hello: We are using two MSP430s that talk through an SPI interface. One MSP is the master, and the other MSP is the slave. Our problem is, the slave MSP is incorrectly receiving data. Through our logic analyzer and the IAR debugger, we can see that the master MSP is correctly receiving data and sending it out. We can also see that the slave is properly transmitting data. The proble...

Hello: Re: MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool (P/N: MSP-FET430P140) Target: MSP430F1612 We have 1 USB FET (Flash Emulation Tool), which works fine, and 2 LPT FETs, which should work via the parallel port, but aren't. We're using the latest version (M) of the IAR Quickstart available from the TI site, however aren't able to use the LPT FETs. When trying to connect we get "Initializing hardw...

Hello: Would appreciate comments/suggestions on methods for measuring the period of an audio-range signal with MSP430 (specifically MSP430F1612), with the highest resolution allowed by this MCU, especially if you have direct experience with that. Thanks. Marius Hancu
