Hello All,
I am looking for info regarding EnergyTrace. There is supposed to be info in the MSP430 Hardware Tool User's Guide - but the only thing I found in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau278r/slau278r.pdf was this:
Oh - searching for Energy brought up this page:
From what I currently understand, the time density of the DC-DC converter charge pulse equals the power consumption of the target microcontroller. The built-in, on-the-fly calibration circuit defines the energy equivalent of a single DC-DC charge pulse. Interesting. (Time to whip out the Keithley.)
There's also EnergyTrace++; which can output timestamps, state log information for peripheral units, clocks, and CPU modes (64-bit JSTATE register content), voltage, current, and energy information. This should be available for all MSP430 devices with the JSTATE register, which is currently the MSP430FR59xx family, together with both the MSP-FET (black-box, not gray box) and the eZ-FET (not the eZ430) debugger probe.
So, I just need to see where the black-box are and the eZ-FET. My initial searches on the TI eStore and Interwebs haven't turned up much yet.
