hello.
I would like to ask if it is on the internet instructions on putting MSP430 LaunchPad (MSP-EXP430G2) and ECLIPSE under Windows 7.

I searched on google.com, but nothing works. thank you

Jirka,

For your MSP430 Launchpad, we offer an Eclipse based IDE, Code Composer Studio, as a free download: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CCS_for_LaunchPad

If you would like, you can also install Code Composer over an existing Eclipse installation: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Installing_CCS_over_Eclipse

Both of these options fully support Windows 7.

Regards,

Bart Basile

I'm sorry, but CCS 4 or CCS 5 is a stupid program. I have had some problems still.
Now I have CCS 5 and this problem:

Error initializing emulator:
Could not find MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port

MSP430 Launchpad is now connected to COM4.

Jirka,

We do our best to make sure that CCS meets the needs of our customers and users across all of our programmable device families. If you have any specific feedback about the IDE, you can let them know via the CCS support forum in the Development Tools category.

Regarding your initialization error, there are a few forum threads that can be found via the search box addressing this exact error message. Here's a few you can look through to see if they help.
