Does anybody know if either the MSP430 or Atmel ATmega AVR parts (or associated JTAG interface widgets/SW) have problems when there are other devices in the JTAG chain? In the past, I've run into buggy JTAG stuff that couldn't tolerate having multiple devices in the JTAG chain. I'm working on a design with both an AVR and an MSP430, and I'd like to have a single JTAG header/chain. Before...

Hello: Our target MCU for an embedded project is MSP430F1612. Our programming team is currenly facing problems caused by trying to upload via BSL programs compiled under IAR 3.42. The BSL upload program (based on the TI BSL program) generates errors when trying to write the first bytes in flash. Then, the prototype board containing the MCU is unusable until older versions of the same ...

1- I got a board with dip-switches. How do they work? What do they use for? 2- I'm tring to do a c# interface to change baud rate of msp430 but it does not work properly. I got a blinking led to see if it works fine. The problem is, when i change baud rate, led stops blinkind. When I set change it back to initial baud rate, led starts blinking again Code: #include void c

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 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.)?
