Proper header file for TI devices

Started by one00100100 January 23, 2013
Hi Folks,
I am migrating a project from the MSP430F5438 chip to the MSP430F5438A chip because the non-A chip is "not recommended for new projects". For the non-A version, in my c software I #include . Most things still seem to work, but how do I find out if this is the correct file for the A version? It seems someone awhile ago showed a method that would always ensure the correct file was included without specifically knowing it's name. I cannot find this information using the msg search.
Help, anyone?

Hey,
For some reason, the file name I include for the non-A version did not paste to my post.
I #include the file msp430x54x.h for the non-A chip.

Hi,

What I tend to do is look at the example code for that specific chip and
use the one TI uses. I do this until something is not working correctly
than I reconsider. You have to trust the company to know their own
chips, well to a certain degree.
