Hi, I'm newbie on the msp430 and I need to embed some asm in my C code. I'm working w/ the msp430F2418 and using the IAR Workbench as a developing environment. I've spent some time googling and looking at some forum discussions. Currently, I've already tried some ideas that i saw on the web: e.g. to break my code into multiples as("instr") lines, to use the #pragma asm #pragma endasm,.....

Hey Folks - I thought I saw a PIC 18 processor that had been particularly groomed for a role providing internet capability for small home appliances and embedded systems. Is this a real processor ? If it's just some software I can put onto any given processor then I imagine that a flavor of the MSP430 might work well. Any thoughts? 2Pe...

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...

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?

Dear Sirs, Has anybody here tested the MSP430 core performance ? I'm interested in DMIPS / 1 MHz . I saw TI Application Report, named MSP430 Competitive Benchmarking of William Goh, but not every test that is mentioned there is clear for me. For example, what does it mean Cycle Count for Dhrystone Analysis ? It appears there on the graph that MSP430 has "100 000 cycles". 100000 Cycles fo...

Dear all, I am testing my own kernel for MSP430. I am measuring highest frequency for square signal that MSP430 with my kernel can repeat on its output. Square signal is connected to one of the interrupt pins, so on every high to low or low to high signal edge port interrupt is generated. In port ISR I am releasing semaphore on which my task is blocked. After task is unblocked its job is to ...
