IAR build for different MSP430s

IMHO it's best to open a new project and copy just the plain source code into it.

Keep in mind that teh new processor doesn't have all the peripherals the 5438 had (especially not the USCI 2+3).

You'll need to change the included header file name in your source code to match these changes (and maybe have to sort out any compilaiton errors due to no longer existing or renamed registers).

The board-specific header files usually belong to board-specific code files (and won't work on a different board at all) or a board-specific library (which also won't work ona different board).

So depending on what MSP-internal and board-external features your original project used, this migration might be a larger project.
And you're the only one who knows the details.

Hi,

My initialization code is quite simple for exp5438(see below).  When I try to build the project for 5529, it complains about not having the definition of  XT1LFOFFG. Should this code be the same for 5438 versus 5529? When I try to go to the declaration, CCS opens the msp5438a.h include file instead of msp5529.h - but there is no reference to including these files in any of my code - is this a CCS problem?  How would I need to change below code to properly initialize the 5529?

Hi Leonardo,

The compiler should be complaining about XT1HFOFFG instead of the LF flag, since the MSP430F5529 does not have HF support on XT1. You should remove the test for that flag for the part of your code which targets the F5529.

Hi Tony,

Yes - that's what I meant - I deleted it - but it didn't help - I need the 32K clock running - any suggestions or code on how to get it running for 5529?

Have you checked whether DCORSEL_4 is the proper range for 8MHz on the new MSP? the rnges differe between different MSPs.

That is what 's really puzzling me. Did you change the project target to the new processor? Maybe your project still ahs 'internal' references to the original target processor.
That's why I suggested creating a new, empty project for the 5529, then importing the old code into it.

Hi Jens-Michael,

I copied and pasted the relevant code from the MSP430 example for LPM and it works now - it looks like an extra inline _nop is required for 5529.  On another more important note. I am looking at porting Contiki to 5529 and found some blogs in 2010 about some students doing this but running into tool chain issues.  Do you know if there is a port somewhere or if these gcc issues have been resolved? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.contiki.devel/5247

These weren't actually GCC issues.

MSPGCC is a separate compiler based on GCC. To do its job, it has to know the target processor, whether it has a 32bit or 16 bit or no hardware multiplier, the memory layout etc. At the time they tried to port the project, the 5529 was unknown to MSPGCC and therefore the compiler didn't know what to do.
There have been some rather generic commandline switches which would have allowed compiling for the 5529 anyway, provided that someone had written the required include files and linker scripts. Those guys just didn't know that in case of an unknown MSP (to the compiler version they used), defining 'target=MSP430F5529" wasn't enough.

However, the recent uniarch version of MSPGCC AFAIK supports the 5529 and almost all other MSPs (not the FR57xx and maybe a few others)
