1.   I saw that the current MSP430Ware license has an error in it that makes it quite toxic (Thanks Bob White and others for pointing this out) so when will this be fixed?

See: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp43016-bit_ultra-low_power_mcus/f/166/p/180498/650360.aspx#650360

I don't think it's right to call this an "error" or "bug" - it looks to be what TI intended?

So it's a question of whether TI will reconsider...

Have you tried asking your distributor and/or FAE if they can let you have a copy of just the manual?

2.   Also, I'd like to use this as the foundation for more of our firmware, but we also use the MSP430x2xxx series (both value line and normal) - is there an estimated completion date for supporting these processors?

My understanding is that Grace supports the MSP430x2xxx series which have a "small" amount of memory, whereas driverlib supports the MSP430x5 and MSP430x6 series which have a larger amount of memory.

The driverlib API which involves passing a module base address for each call presumably has a larger time / code size overhead than the Grace approach of generating direct register access code.

3.   Is there a MSP430Ware manual that is on the web (like the StellarisWare manual)? I'd like to look at what's in it but due to the license bug I don't want to download MSP430Ware.

If you google WDT_clearCounter you will get some links to the MSP430 Peripheral Driver Library User's Guide (these aren't on TIs website and aren't the latest version but gives an idea of the content)

Hi all,

   There's a new download of MSP430Ware that is BSD licensed; see this thread for more information:
