MSP432P401R: Port microSD code example from 432 to 430

Ted Fryberger

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Currently have the BOOSTXL-SHARP128 booster pack running on the MSP-EXP432P401R Launch Pad.(Rev 2.1). Both the fatsd and fatsdraw example projects build and are running. I can read / write to a 32 GB microSD card inserted into the booster pack successfully.

I need to port this example code to a custom SBC running an MSP430F5638 which is interfaced to a microSD card socket via SPI. A possible intermediate step would be getting the booster pack and code running on either a MSP-EXP430F5529LP or MSP-EXP430G2ETLP which I have.

So far, I've copied the 432 fatsd and fatsdraw projects into a 430 Workspace and changed the MCU in the Project settings from 432 to 430. When it builds it can't find the following:

NoRTOS.h

third_party\fatfs\ffcio.h fixed this by copying the fatsd folder into the new Workspace, and add files to project

ti\drivers\Display.h

ti\drivers\dpl\Semaphore.h

C:\ti\simplelink_msp432p4_sdk_3_40_01_02 Looking under 432, I can find all of these missing files

C:\ti\msp430ware_3_80_13_03\ Looking under 430, I don't see any of the missing files

So where are these missing files for a 430, and how do I complete the port?

Hi Ted,

If you are referring to:

ti\drivers\dpl\Semaphore.h

Semaphores are commonly used in an RTOS environment. We don't typically offer both RTOS and NoRTOS versions of code for MSP430, so NoRTOS.h won't exist. That said, if there are RTOS dependencies in the code which NoRTOS.h redirects, you might be able to use similar replacements in your MSP430 code.

Hope this helps.

Hi Leonardo,

Thanks for your response. Had to work on other things for a while. I will try shutting off, or replacing these missing code segments.

Hi Ted,

I'm imagining that you were able to get things working since I haven't heard from you in a while. If you are still facing issues, please feel free to open a new thread.

TI should create a NoRTOS version of the 432 code for the 430 specifically the 5529 so I can get the boost pack running on the 5529 LaunchPad. That would be very helpful.

Thanks Ted,

I'll provide this feedback to the team.
