MSP430FR2355: MSP low-power microcontroller forum

Part Number: MSP430FR2355


Tool/software:

Confused about SDK, which one to use and where to start.

Hii i am new to TI world and a bit confused. i got MSP430fr2355 Evaluation board. Just wanted to start programming, downloaded CSS theia (as no more development will be done on CSS eclipse).

Query 1.

I am deeply confused about the SDK and packages. I got to know that TI provides so many SDK and packages but couldn't get much insight about which one to start with and why.

Following are the SDK i came to know about:

  1. MSP430 WARE
  2. MSP430 SDK
  3. Simple link
  4. MSP430 Driver LIB

5. Housekeeping MCU.

I am really messed up what to start with and what to use and what not. Could You please guide me or link me to the URL where i can have details of each of these packages, use cases and what to use where

2. I just followed the example library of LED blink on CSS theia. Here is the project structure

Is it using any SDK? Where is this driver lib coming from? is it common or base which is used by all SDK ?

    Hi Sunil,

    If you use the Resource Explorer from your CCS (which I assume is the latest we offer CCS 20.1.0) you are using View Tab option, then you are exporting an example from the MSP430 SDK (which in this case is online/stored locally in your computer.) I will recommend to stick with the Resource Explorer SDK since they tend to be easier to import into your workspace. Driverlib is a library TI created to program the MCUs using high level functions rather than the register level alternative. I would recommend you explore the following examples:

    1. Toggle register level example

    2. Toggle Driverlib example

    Best Regards,
