CCS/MSP430FR4133: MSP430FR4133

Part Number: MSP430FR4133
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am a beginner in Embedded programming and with respect to that, I am now starting to practice myself with MSP430FR4133.

I am using Cloud CCS software to carry out with my basic programming. When I just started a blank program I received a header file <msp430.h>

I am trying to look further in to that header file but I am unable to locate this file in the cloud or in my project file. In some of previous forum it was mentioned that to keep the mouser in that msp430.h line and click F3.

I even tried doing that way but still this msp430.h header is not getting accessed or opened.

Hence can you please let me know a way to open the header files in Cloud CCS.

Also I just a beginner with very very little knowledge in C and Embedded coding (rather can consider my knowledge as Zero in both C and Embedded programming). Hence can you please let me know a basic way or something like online tutorial or video content which can help me build my embedded skills.

Thank you

  • Arun,

    If you created a new project it should look something like this where there is a main.c file with the #include <msp430.h> line at the top

    Not that you have to move the cursor to the line and not just put your mouse over it.  Here you can see that line #1 has that light blue highlighting.  This indicates that it is the current line.  You can then hit F3 to jump to definition or right click (control click if on Mac) and select Jump to Definition from the context menu.

    That will open the msp430.h file.

    I would recommend that you start with some of the examples in MSP430Ware. The MSP team provides a broad set of examples that show how to use the various peripherals on each device.

    Regards,

  • Hi John,

    1. Thank you for the reply but what ever you conveyed, I have tried with your method but did not find any improvement on it.

    Can you please update as whether am I missing some settings in my workspace or Cloud CCS tool.

    2. How can I contact MSP team to receive board set of examples?

    Regards,

    Arun

  • Arun,

    There are no settings to adjust to get that to work. When you put the cursor on the #include line and right click does the context menu with Jump to Definition appear?

    As far as the examples you can download MSP430Ware. You may want to just download the Desktop version of CCS from here:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Download_CCS

    Then from inside of CCS you can use Resource Explorer to access MSP430Ware and all of the examples.

  • Hi John,

    Unfortunately, tried it even now, pressing F3 (Jump to Definition) still it is not working.

    I am not sure why it is happening.

  • Have you tried the desktop version of CCS?
