Creating Library in MSP430 IAR Workbench

Tuna Orhanlı

Hi, everybody

I am working with MSP430FG461H Board.I have a code that author John Davies used in his book.I want to use this code in my different projects like

#include <LCDutils.h> or in a different way.

what should i do.i don't know creating library.I am beginner please help me explicitly and step by step.

This is the code:

// LCDutils.c - functions for on SBLCDA4 on TI Experimenter's Board

// J H Davies, 2007-06-03

// IAR Kickstart version 3.42A

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <io430xG46x.h> // Specific device

#include <stdint.h> // Integers of defined sizes

#include "LCDutils.h" // SBLCDA4 utility functions

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

#define LCDDIGITS 7 // Number of digits in display

#define LCDMEMS 11 // LCD memories used (3-13)

// Pointer to LCD memory used: allows use of array LCDMem[]

uint8_t * const LCDMem = (uint8_t *) &LCDM3;

// LCD segment definitions (SoftBaugh SBLCDA4)

#define SEG_A BIT0 // AAAA

#define SEG_B BIT1 // F B

#define SEG_C BIT2 // F B

#define SEG_D BIT3 // GGGG

#define SEG_E BIT6 // E C

#define SEG_F BIT4 // E C

#define SEG_G BIT5 // DDDD

#define SEG_H BIT7 // colon, point etc

// Patterns for hexadecimal characters

const uint8_t LCDHexChar[] = {

SEG_B | SEG_C, // "1"

SEG_A | SEG_B | SEG_D | SEG_E | SEG_G, // "2"

SEG_A | SEG_B | SEG_C | SEG_D | SEG_G, // "3"

SEG_B | SEG_C | SEG_F | SEG_G, // "4"

SEG_A | SEG_C | SEG_D | SEG_F | SEG_G, // "5"

SEG_A | SEG_B | SEG_C, // "7"

SEG_C | SEG_D | SEG_E | SEG_F | SEG_G, // "b"

SEG_A | SEG_D | SEG_E | SEG_F, // "C"

SEG_B | SEG_C | SEG_D | SEG_E | SEG_G, // "d"

SEG_A | SEG_D | SEG_E | SEG_F | SEG_G, // "E"

};

// More useful patterns

If you have the source code, there's no need to deal with libraries. Just include/copy the source .c files into your project and include the associated .h files in your own code files where you want to use the new functions.
Or directly include the code into your .c file (if it isn't so much that it will blur your sight on your own code)

Libraries are usually precompiled, compiler-specific binaries which you add to the projects linker options.

creating library....

project- > new pjt -> lib pjt templet-> lib pjt->

type u r code without void main (void)

compile it.....

linking library with ur project

Now make ur new project -->right click on project name in work space ->add -> add files -> select .lib or .r51 file (from location where u have created library file -> exe->.......)

& also attach .h file location in option -> c\c++ complier ->preprocessor......

Hope it will work...
