which IAR kickstart version is best for ez430 rf2500

hai,

I'm somewhat new to programming microcontrollers.  I've taken a course on programming an MSP430, but I was using a different kit then, and now I am working with the ez430-RF2500 development kit.  I'm having a lot of trouble understanding, especially the wireless communication.  I've never dealt with wireless microcontroller programming. 

 

And please try and be patient with me, again I'm quite new so you can expect  stupid questions from me on this issue.

 

my  question is, it's a very simple one.

i made a simple transmission and reception code for  ez430-rf2500. It is not responding with "IAR workbench kickstart for msp430 4.21" and also with "IAR workbench kickstart for msp430 5.30". It shows error in the header itself. so please give me the correct need to be installed for programming 

if IAR workbench kickstart for msp430 4.64 and Code Composer Essentials v2.03 (SP3) versions is best for ez430-rf2500, then plz provide me the link to download that version from online.
this following error are spotted...
main.c  
Fatal Error[Pe005]: could not open source file "mrfi.h" C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\My Documents\IAR Embedded Workbench\main.c 2 
            searched: "C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\My Documents\IAR Embedded Workbench\" 
            searched: "C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.4 Kickstart\430\INC\" 
            searched: "C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.4 Kickstart\430\INC\DLIB\" 
Error while running C/C++ compiler

    So what is your level of experience with programming in general?

    There are foundational issues of programming in general that apply irrespective of the specifc target; eg, microcontrollers.

    This appears to be a foundational issue: If your build fails (eg, due to compilation errors), then you have nothing to load into your target - so it cannot possibly work!

    This clearly tells you the problem - it could not open the file called "mrfi.h" while it was trying to compile your source file called "main.c"

    It tells you were it looked in order to find the file.

    The first thing you need to check is: Do you have a file called "mrfi.h" anywhere on your computer?

    As noted above, this is a foundational programming issue - nothing specifically to do with wireless communication or even microcontrollers.

    I would strongly suggest that you spend more time gaining experience with basic projects before moving on to wireless communication.

    Wireless communication adds orders of magnitude more complexity - not just for the programming, but in the entire system design & operation...

    thanks a lot sir.. thanks for ur inspiring words too...

    i checked "mrfi.h" file in my computer.. but it is not there.. it says "file not found"

    i searched by getting into the mrfi group.,  Add, Add files... but it is not there.. is my searching procedure is correct?

    what i do if this file is not there in my computer?

    how can i get it?

    Why does your code include it (most likely with #include "mrfi.h")? Is it from some othe rcode you used? Was your project imported from somewhere else?
    If so, you should look for this file where you got the code from.

    It may be part of a library that is required by the project but which you didn't install yet. Or you only copied part of a project and missed some vital parts.
