CCS/MSP430FR6989: Educational BoosterPack MKII

Part Number: MSP430FR6989
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I want to use the Educational BoosterPack MKII with my MSP430FR6989 Launchpad in Code Composer Studio as an ASSEMBLY Only project (Not C/C++). Can anyone provide me some examples on how I can get started because right now I have just plugged in the booster pack to my launchpad and now I am completely in the dark on how to at-least test some of its features. I was looking at some examples online but they were all for C/C++ and Energia.

    The FR6989 Examples suite (Tools and Software tab on the Product page) contains assembly examples. I expect they don't apply directly to the MKII but will show you how to talk to some of the (MCU) devices that you'll need.

    You can also run the C examples through the compiler with Assembler option "Save listing " or "Save assembly" and look through what it generates. It may not resemble hand-coded assembly, but it will give you some idea where you're headed.

    Okay I think I got those examples. But yeah they don't apply to the MKII. Do you know which MCU devices I will need to set up to use the MKII (or if that's the wrong question, I guess what do I need to do to start using the the pins in the J ports in the MKII?).

    So let's say I want to turn on the BLUE LED in the MKII, which is J4.37. What do I do?

    I am sorry I am kinda new to using Assembly (just know some basic concepts for interrupts and subroutines thats all)

    Is there like a useful guide that tells how to set up the MKII with the launchpad in assembly only project and start using it?

    Thanks for your help....

    If you're really new to assembly, I suggest you "start small" and exercise a few of the self-contained TI Examples -- blink an LED, adjust the clock, run a timer, talk over a UART. You'll need at least some of these techniques later.

    In the meantime, maybe someone who knows something about the MKII will stop by.

    Yeah I did those in the launchpad already. (I mean apart from the UART) I guess I can't run anything on the Booster pack yet. So let's say I want to turn on the BLUE LED in the MKII, which is J4.37. What do I do? How do I run it from the launchpad?

    Never mind I figured out how to do it. You just have to configure the corresponding pins on the launchpad to control stuff on the boosterPack, which is just like a dummy board.
    Thank you.
