Project Templates
Project templates are provided to create the following project types:
- C Executable - an executable project which includes the C startup code.
- Assembly Executable - an executable project.
- CTL Executable - an executable project which includes the CTL support code ctl_msp430.c .
- Externally Built Executable - an externally built executable project.
Header and Memory Map Files
Memory map files are provided for each supported MSP430 device. The appropriate memory map is selected based on the Target project property group value.
Header files are provided for each supported MSP430 device. The top level file msp430.h will include the appropriate file based on the Target project property group value.
MSP430.dll and MSP430_v3.dll
Builds of the TI MSP430.dll are provided that interface to FET430UIF and eZ430/LaunchPad devices. On Linux and Windows the standard TUSB3410 Virtual COM Port Driver is used to communicate with the FET430UIF and the eZ430-F2013. On MacOS the unofficial TUSB3410 Virtual COM Port Driver can be used to communicate with the FET430UIF and the eZ430-F2013.
Builds of version 3 of the TI MSP430.dll are provided for Linux and Windows hosts that interface to FET430UIF devices that are running the V3 firmware. To use this you will need to modify the Target Driver DLL Path target property to reference $(PackagesDir)/targets/msp430/MSP430_v3$(HostDLL) . You can do this by showing the targets window, right clicking on the target interface and selecting properties.
The eZ430-RF/LaunchPad devices are supported on Linux, MacOS and Windows hosts. On MacOS you'll need to install a codeless kext to prevent the MacOS HID driver from claiming the device. There are some instructions on how to do this here . Note that on MacOS you'll need to unplug the ez430-RF/LaunchPad before a target connect.
The MSP430.dll target interface property Port Name is set to be USB by default and will connect to an eZ430-RF/LaunchPad device in preference to any FET430UIF/eZ430-F2013 devices. You can right click on the target in the targets window prior to connection to set the Port Name from a list of potentially applicable device names.
