Creating TI-RTOS Projects for other MSP430 Devices

MSP430F5438A: Creating a TI-RTOS project.

Part Number: MSP430F5438A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, , MSP430WARE, MSP430F5527

Hi

I am struggling to build an empty RTOS sample application in CCS12.  I am starting with a sample RTOS project (hello, world) from the one provided for the MSP430F5529 and porting to MSP430F5438A.

The TI-RTOS 2.20 for MSP43x Getting Started Guide, and BIOS User's Guide, happily provide links to help on porting to other devices, in particular to something called a "TI-RTOS Porting Guide".   Also to "Build MSP430Ware driverlib and TI-RTOS driver libraries."  In this forum also there are numerous other links to potentially helpful information for others trying to do the same thing.

Unfortunately all these links seem to be to the now defunct TI Wiki.

Can someone please provide me some with up-to-date working links to help with porting.  In particular to the two I mentioned above.

Thanks

Dick

    Hi,

    I only find this one. Where do you find the "Build MSP430Ware driverlib and TI-RTOS driver libraries."?

    Best regards,

    Thank you, Cash. Thank you also, David. The topic "Build MSP430Ware driverlib and TI-RTOS driver libraries" is
    actually within the other one "TI-RTOS 2.20 for MSP43x Getting Started Guide".

    The Porting Guide link was last updated in 2013 and illustrates a series of steps based on the CCS version of the day, and a number of screen shots which are really not a lot of use with current CCS. It does itself contain a link to a "TI-RTOS WORKSHOP", but that link is also defunct.

    The other link seems the more useful and the first step explains how to generate the necessary driverlib and TI-RTOS driver libraries for the processor being ported to.

    Using my current setup, CCS12.2, RTOS 2.20.00.06, BIOS 6.46.00.23, XDCtools 3.32.0.06, I could not get the process to work for my target MSP430F5438A, so I attempted to replicate the generation process for the target processor exactly as shown in the example, the MSP430F5527.

    It did not work.

    The process involves modifying the supplied tirtos.mak file to reflect current paths, and adding in the names of the additional processors to be generated for. (The original paths in tirtos.mak reflected ccsv7.)

    The make process did not generate any errors, but neither did it generate any files, in particular the .lib files for the new processor. I notice that the names of the files supposed to be generated - according to the document - do not seem to correspond with the current versions of software. I am not familiar with the make process, but it looks to me as if the supplied tirtos.mak file is well out of date for current versions of CCS and related software.

    This makes me wonder, frankly, if TI is still supporting TI-RTOS at all. I can't be the only person trying to port it to an MSP4305438A.

    Dick
