hello, i have a problem with my pad I'm trying to use the example for sharp lcd screen and when i upload the code give a this problem and i don't know how fix it

/Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld: LCD_SharpBoosterPack_SPI_main.cpp.elf section `.bss' will not fit in region `ram'


/Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld: region `ram' overflowed by 664 bytes

    The LCD booster pack, while it doesn’t explicitly say so in the description, is designed for use with the FR5969 LaunchPad (with 2k of RAM, IIRC). It reserves an array for backing up the LCD content in ram. This array won’t fit into the ram of a G2553. While in theory the LCD will work with the G2 LaunchPad, it would require a different display strategy (no local content copy) to fit into the G2553.

    I just fell into the same trap, reported it, and changes in the description are on the way. (Well, this won't help you now that you already got the LCD)
    Maybe there will be some demo code for the G2553 soon, but don't hold your breath.

    Could you please tell if there is example code for the FR5739? Thank you for mentioning that this LCD module is not yet suported by the G2553. I already have a FR5739. I am wondering if I could use it the soonest possible to display some characters on the Sharp96 LCD.

    If the FR5739 LaunchPad supports the BoosterPack default pinout, the only difference might be some initializations of the microcontroller.
