MSP430FR4133: Header File Missing Port Definitions

Patrick Simmons

Part Number: MSP430FR4133

Hello,

I am working on a Hall Sensor EVM that incorporates the MSP430FR4133. On this EVM, I intend to use P8.2 with a push button. In the process of trying to set up port 8 for my application, I noticed that the msp430fr4133.h header file is missing the definitions for input, output, direction, resistor enable, selection, edge select, interrupt enable, and interrupt flag for ports 3 through 8. Is there a newer header file available somewhere online? If not, how should I set the definitions for P8IN, P8OUT, P8DIR, P8REN, P8SEL0, P8IE, and P8IFG?

What CCS version are you using?

My v6.2.0 (__MSP430_HEADER_VERSION__ 1193) has these, as well as my v7.3.0 (__MSP430_HEADER_VERSION__ 1201).

Or maybe run Help->Check for updates (again). I got fooled by that one once.

Hello Patrick,

Was your issue resolved by updating CCS or your MSP resources?

Ryan

Hello Bruce,

I have CCS version 7.3.0. I tried doing Help->Check for updates and while it did install updates it did not replace the current header file with a more up to date complete header file. Could you possibly send me the header file so I can manually replace it? Also can you give me the cmd file that has the memory locations for the various register components/commands?

I suppose so. (If anyone yells, I'll remove them.) That said, I'm a bit concerned about the integrity of the rest of your installation.

I pasted those version numbers from the beginning of the .h file (line 50 or so). As a diagnostic, I suggest you paste the equivalent line from the .h you have so that Those Who Know These Things can figure out the provenance.

These are from <TI>/ccsv7/ccs_base/msp430/include:

Patrick,

Can you likewise share the broken header and command linker files? I would like to review it with the Software Team to find out where the disconnect occurred. I also wonder if a complete re-install of CCS would fix the issue.

Regards,
Ryan

Hey Ryan, Bruce,

Thankyou for the support. So uninstalled, re-installed v7.3.0 (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS), updated and still had the same problem. Then I looked at your cmd and header files and noticed those also were incomplete, unless I am overlooking an important side note for the 4133. Below is a snapshot showing that Port 1's definitions are complete while port 8's are incomplete according to details provided by the below family user guide excerpt.

SLAS865A Table 6-40 claims that P8IE/IES/IFG don't exist.

Only PA (P1/P2) is interrupt-capable as shown on the Functional Block Diagram provided in the FR4133 Datasheet. The Family User's Guide shows these registers because some devices in the family may have interrupt-capable PD (P7/P8) ports, but this does not apply to the FR4133.

Ryan
