I am using CrossWorks, and can't get sscanf to work. It returns a value that indicates that the parameters were scanned, but the values it puts in them appear random. For any given string it comes up with the same values, but they don't appear to be related to the string I've seen this happen before and just used strtol instead, as a work around. Doesn't look like there is an atof or strtod...

Hi group. Anyone tried out the FFT Designer , if generates code for the MSP430 5xx microcontroller . http://www.fftdesigner.com/download.php If generates code for the IAR complier, where I'm using Crossworks. Is it worth a play with? ------------------------------------

Is it possible to have uninitialsed variable which after reset was not covered by 0? I see that uninicialised data is set to 0. My programm from time to time must reset, but i want to have unchanged some variables after reset and i mustn't write those into flash. Is it possible to declare e.g. short int to have that possibility in crossworks? if yes how to do that? in MSP manual there i...

First of all thanks to anyone that can shed some light to my questions... I'm writing a bootloader and have a few doubts on how to proceed in some simple things: 1) What is the best way to put a jump from the bootloader to the main application using c code? Or should I embed asm code with a jmp instruction to do this?? 2) How do I instruct my compiler (Rowley Crossworks) to compile my cod...

Hello everyone! Somewhere in the back of my head I remember a similar discussion here on yahoo, but I could find relevant posts neither in my inbox nor in the yahoo archieve. Also Paul seems to be overworked as he has not yet found time to answer to this problem. I am using Crossworks (after having used IAR for 3 years) and am trying to declare constants in flash memory. For this I de

Hello, I'm trying to interface a mini cmos camera(C3188A) to a MSP430F169 from I2C bus. However I have some problems. First of all, I have written the code below to initialize I2C bus(I'm using Crossworks 1.4): WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; P3SEL |= 0x0A; U0CTL |= I2C + SYNC; U0CTL &= ~I2CEN; ...

Hi there, I'm new with MSP430 I try to get a function running that is automatically called every 1ms by an interrupt of the timerB. In the TI Userguide for the MSP430x1xx Family, on page 238 picture 12- 6 is an example that the MSP loads the interval by hardware. But I dont know how to do this here is a sample of my code: (using Crossworks) // SCLK = 32768 // initialize Timer B TBCTL

Hi All, Some of you may recall my enthusiasm for Rowley's CrossWorks for MSP430 since quite some time :-) We all know that some C tool chain companies tend to produce *slightly* biased benchmarks on their tools, so I decided to do an actual REAL test, mainly comparing EW430 V2.10 and RAL CW430 V1.2 (I am in the process of testing on HITECH-C's HITide and compiler V9.00) I ported a project

I have the port complete to V2 of Crossworks for the User Experience from TI for the MSP430F5529. The board they supply for $99 is really quite impressive, with lots of toys on-board, so for a newbie there is much to be learnt from this project; I especially love the slide which lights LED's as you slide your finger across; this has kept be amused for hours! Perhaps the coolest feature is connec...

I currently use an MSP430 on a design which sells for $1000, so I don't mind manually sticking in a JTAG cable and using Crossworks to program each one. --------------------------------------------------- But I'm now looking at building a design which would use a very small chip ( actually I'd prefer the ATtiny25, but I'm keeping an open mind on TI too ) and a couple of transistors on

Hello everyone I've got a basic question about RAM allocation on the MSP430's. I'm using CrossWorks and would like to know how the RAM gets allocated. I think I may have a couple of things slightly off. It looks to me like static variables get put at the bottom of the ram, followed by Global variables. Does the stack follow this? First, where do global variables go? Secon

Dear All, I've written code for the MSP430F427 in C with both the IAR compiler and Rowley Crossworks. The code of the same program, generated by both compilers, fits and works similarly on both chips. I'm now trying to recompile the same code with msp430gcc. Unfortunately whenever I try to build my code, I get the following error messages: -address 0x6b8 of Flasher.elf section .bss...

Bool is a C++ type and CrossWorks doesn't support that (yet). The syntax highlighter

Gerd, > Hi gentlemen, > > does anybody know a software emulator for the MSP430F449? CrossWorks has a core simulator (i.e. CPU instructions, memory, multiplier), but I don't believe there is any MSP430 simulator for the peripherals of the MSP430--even TI discontinued simulation support of their silicon a long while ago. -- Paul.

Folks, "Which compiler are you using?" was a poll which ran 8 years ago. Preferences may have changed, so I'd like to re-run this poll. I have an interest in this, because I'm retooling to MSP430s from PICs. The 2003 list of compilers includes: IAR TI Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) Imagecraft (ICC) Quadravox IDE430 MSPGCC CrossWorks Other Please let me know the compilers you'd ...

Hi, I remember we had a discussion here that the MSP430X is not segmented - but in fact it is - with all drawbacks - I remember from the x86-architecture. Depending on the philosophy of the compiler vendor you can not use the whole flash range for code or const (well ISR's have to reside in the lower range, but this is not a problem). Crossworks currently limits the CONST range to the ...

Hello! I'm using the MSP430F1612 and Rowley's Crossworks. I'm trying to setup an I2C device and send a byte sequence, but I am having trouble. I am referencing the fet_i2c_08.c from the TI website. Also how would one first start out trying to Bit-Bang? #include #include void delay (void); char TXData = 0; void main (void) { WDTCTL = WDTPW

I have a free running MSP430F2618 with no JTAG attached that stopped working (some kind of crash I think). I want to see where it is running now - is it still in my mainloop or is it running somewhere in the memory - (not in my code). I want to connect the JTAG - attach it - and just jump into the current running code to the current PC. I tried it with Crossworks; I know this is not pos...

Hi, I am using a MSP-FET430UIF with a Rowley CrossWorks Complier / Debugger. I am using a MSP430F235 mcu. When I turn on the SVS and turn on the PORON bit in the SVSCTL, when I lower the voltage during testing a POR is never generated, but the UIF becomes disconnected from CrossStudio leaving me "blind" to what is happening with the MSP430. To make matters worse, if I set the VLDx bits in SV...
