Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPWARE, MSP430WARE
I am complaining about the documentation.
1. Please put the name of the document on the first page. This document says "User's Guide". Which users guide? How about something like "MSP430FR2xx_4xx Drivers Lib Users Guide" I may have multiple users guides open when I am working on something I am not familiar with.
2. The issue that caused me to come here:
I want to create a new project for the MSP430FR2433 that uses the MSP430FR2xx_4xx Driver Library for my IAR compiler.
So I look at the table of contents and I think I am in luck. There is a Chapter 5 "How to create a new IAR project that uses Driverlib"
First paragraph is:
"It is recommended to get started with an Empty Driverlib Project. Browse to the empty project in
your device’s family. This is available in the driverlib instal folder\00_emptyProject"
The fact that nobody noticed that "instal" was spelled wrong and no space between "folder" and "\00_emptyProject" should have been the clue that nobody checked this document.
First off what is the "install folder"? I installed in "F:\ti" according to the installer when I installed it, but after searching the directory I see you meant (in my case) "F:\ti\msp\MSPWare_3_80_02_10\driverslib\examples\MSP430FR2xx_4xx\00_emptyProject\IAR"
Could they have meant "examples folder" and not "install folder"? That is still wrong, but closer.
So I find it then what? End of chapter! Those were only three sentences in the whole chapter.
This just told me that in the case I want to do a new project that uses the driverlib with the IAR compiler the project will be put in the examples directory of the of the library and it will only work the first time. Really?
Don't you think you should have a solution that works more than one time and that lets me put the new project in whatever directory I want?
Let me see if Chapter 6 is any better...
