MSP430F5529: Appnote

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553, TRF7970A

Hello,

I need an Appnote for TR7979A  with Reader/Writer Mode, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Mode and NFC Card Emulation Mode

Is there any Appnote available for  the TR7979A  module with  MSP430F5529?

  • Hi Suchandan,

    The only application report I'm aware of regarding the TRF970A and the MSP430 Family of MCUs is TRF7970A + MSP430G2xx NFC/RFID Module Reference Design. While this document references the MSP430G2xx family, it is still very applicable to the MSP430F5529.

  • Hello Caleb,

    Thanks for the information.

    So if i use the Application Note of MSP430G2xx for MSP430F5529, do i need to modify the code base for MSP430F5529?

    If yes, can you please give an overview what changes are required.

    Best Regards,

    Suchandan

  • Hello Caleb,

    Can you kindly provide an update on my query.

  • Hi Suchandan,

    Which project are you planning on using? I see three separate CCS projects in the code associated with the app note.

  • Hello Caleb,

    I want to use all three CCS projects.

  • Hi Suchandan, 

    There is quite a lot that needs to change in all three projects and it's not very trivial. Additionally a full explanation of the changes necessary would take a significant amount of time to compile. 

    I recommend you create three new CCS projects for the MSP430F5529 and add the appropriate source code to each project. From here you can compile the code and any errors will show the obvious changes that need to be made (there may be a lot). After that, I would go through each file individually and to understand what peripherals were being used on the MSP430G2553 and then see if the same peripheral is available on the MSP430F5529.

    The most difficult changes to make are going to be the serial communication code because the MSP430F5529 uses a different interrupt scheme when compared to the MSP430G2553.  The next most difficult will be the pin assignments. You'll need to ensure all the appropriate pins are being used for your specific setup. This includes serial communication pins as well as GPIO pins. Try this out and let me know if you have any questions along the way.

    Best regards,

  • Hello Caleb,

    Thank you for the overview.

    Seems like MSP430G2553  Appnote porting is a big job.

    Can you or someone from TI please port the APPNOTE for MSP430F5529.

    It will be very helpful.

  • Hi Suchandan,

    This isn't feasible because I don't know how you have your application setup in terms of connections between the MSP430F5529 and the TRF7970A. I highly encourage you to look through the code and try to port it yourself and I'll help when you have questions.

    If you plan on doing any development with these devices, this will help you gain insight into how the parts operate and how to properly create and execute code on them.

    Best regards,

  • Hello Caleb,

    Thanks you for a quick reply.
    you are right, I will set the projects as you mentioned earlier.

    In case of any doubt may i contact you in this thread?

    BR,

  • Hi Suchandan,

    Absolutely feel free to reply in this thread if you have any questions during development.

    Best regards,
    Caleb Overbay
  • Hi Suchandan,

    I'll be closing this thread while you work on porting the code. Feel free to to post if you have any further questions and the thread will be re-opened.

  • Hello Caleb,

    Sorry to inform you that, I can not put my effort on porting.

    So can you please provide the Appnote for this board.

    BR,

    Suchandan

  • Hi Suchanden,

    Again, it's not feasible for me to port the code for you because I don't know how you have you specific application setup. Additionally, the application report I provided is meant as a reference point for how to start designing with an TRF970A and an MSP430 MCU. TI doesn't intend for this app note to provide a solution for all MSP430 devices. If you would like this code on the MSP430F5529, I recommend taking the time to understand how it works and port it to the device.

    Best regards,
