MSP430FR6989: BOOST CC2564MODA

Part Number: MSP430FR6989
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564MODA, MSP430F5529

I am trying to integrate the BOOST CC2564MODA with the MSP430FR6989 and be able to have it talk to a smartphone to send audio data back and forth.  I am looking for some starter code to try and help me get off on the right foot since this is a new area for myself.  

1. I see that the MSP430FR5529 has a lot of example codes for similar applications to what I am looking for.  Besides a different MCU, is the 5529 and 6989 capable of similar things( since they are both launch pads, I can use the 5529 code for my 6989 applications)?

2.  I used this website (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x 

page has the examples.  

CC256XMSPBTBLESW software package.  However I am not sure if this is right/ how to use it for CCS v7 since in the article they talk about 5 and it seems pretty outdated.  Is there newer forms on

how to use it? 

4.  Any suggestions on a simple way to get connected to a smartphone via bluetooth using these two boards? 

  • Part Number: MSP430FR6989

    Hi everyone, 

    I just bought both the MSP430FR6989 and CC2564MODA so that I can do bluetooth speakers around my house.  I was hoping to use the A3DP Multi Room example but that seems to be for the MSP430FR5529.  So i have a few questions.  

    1. Any examples codes for the MSP430FR5529, can I use them with my 6989? If not, which ones, what is the bottle neck?  I get since they are in the same family, the pin layouts for stacking with other boards should be the same.  

    2. Is there some TI written examples codes to interconnect this bluetooth stacked board system to a smartphone and send audio data ( I have the CC 3200 Audio Booster Pack).  I would like to be able to send music from my phone to this board.  I have looked at this website (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256xhttp://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_MSP430_TI_Bluetooth_Stack#Flashing_the_Bluetooth_Code

    . I currently have the v7 and have been unsuccessful finding some newer forums for the new board (6989).  

    3.  Is there any better suggestions on how to get a prototype up quick? I can't find anything that will get me up easily.  I know TI has a lot of examples for simple and common applications, like IoT and audio transfer over bluetooth communication.  

  • Hi Michael,

    The MSP430F5529 and MSP430FR6989 are not in the same family and have several differences (Flash vs FRAM, included peripherals like USB vs LCD, maximum clock frequency, USCI vs eUSCI, etc.) which will need to be considered if porting a solution across devices. Upgrading from CCSv5 to v7 should not cause too many issues but I would recommend maintaining a similar TI compiler version as what is originally used. Your best step in moving forward would be to replicate results with a MSP430F5529 LaunchPad or EVM before transitioning the solution to the MSP430FR6989. You can also resource the Dual Mode Bluetooth Forum since they maintain the code projects found in the Wiki.

  • Hi Ryan,

    Thank you for the response.  Okay, yes that does makes sense but even if they are not in the same family, the example codes should be similar, cause my understanding is the 5529 has less Flash and the 6989 has FRAM.  I would have to make minor modifications to get the examples to work right?

    Okay, are there any specific 6989 example projects along these lines that have been created by TI like done for 5529? 

  • Hi Michael,

    The level of difficulty in modifying the current examples is a matter of perspective and prior experience. I am not aware of any specific MSP430FR6989 examples to use with the CC256x, but once again the Dual Mode Bluetooth Forum would have more input on this.

    Regards,
    Ryan
