Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
We will upgrade a system with the MSP430FR5969. The system was originally developed with:
- IAR Compiler (IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 IDE Version 5.60.6)
- IAR Embedded Workbench common components (Version 6.6.4.2867)
We are considering migrating to CCS for working with this system. We would like to ask the following questions:
- What are the main advantages and disadvantages of “CCS IDE for MSP Microcontrollers” with respect to the newest IAR compiler?
- Is there a code size restriction?
- Does “CCS IDE for MSP430” support all TI MSP430FRxxxx devices?
- What is the “CCS IDE for MSP430” license cost? Are there royalties?
- Could you give us an idea of the work needed to convert programs made in the IAR compiler to code for TI CCS?
About the MSP430FR5969 I would like to ask,
- What is the latest version of this device? The one that we were using in our system was “-F”.
- If “-F” is still the latest version, does TI plan on releasing newer versions? (if so, about when?)
