MSP-EXP430FR5994: The Hardware_Design_Files are old.

Part Number: MSP-EXP430FR5994


Tool/software:

I obtained the files from the following source.
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html
MSP-EXP430FR5994_Hardware_Design_Files.zip
Only "Readme.txt" has been updated to the 2019 version.
The other files remain the 2016 version.
Are there new files, such as Gerber, available somewhere?

  • Hi Akio,

    This 2016 version hardware design materials is the newest version available for this EVM.

  • The Gerber data "MSP-EXP430FR5994.SilkscreenTop.ger" shows "MSP-EXP430FR5994 Rev1.1".
    The silkscreen display of the purchased item is "MSP-EXP430FR5994 Rev1.2".
    I have noticed some differences, such as the fact that the purchased item does not have the picture of a rocket in the upper left.
    However, the addition of pull-up, a change made in 2019 and described in the 2019 version of "Readme.txt", does not appear to have been added to "Rev1.2".
    So, does this mean that there are no actual problems with the 2016 version "Rev1.1" data, which is before the 2019 change?
    Can you provide the data for the purchased "Rev1.2"?

  • Hi Akio,

    Yes, according to Readme.txt, the Rev1.2 has no hardware update to Rev1.1. So you could use the hardware design file for your purchased item.
