CCS/MSP430F5529: MSP430F5529 better software for coding and help for uploading the code

Amey Sawant

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1293, ENERGIA, , MSP-FET, MSP-EXP430F5529LP

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

For MSP430F5529 on ADS1293 EVM board, which software is best suit for writing a new code- Energia or CCS? Can I get a detailed explanation stating why that particular software is better?

How to upload the code? Do I necessarily need a MSP-FET board for uploading or are there any other possible methods?

Both Energia and CCS can be used to write software for the F5529. Use whatever you have more experience with.

The JTAG header has pins for both JTAG (to be used with the MSP-FET) and Spy-Bi-Wire (to be used with any LaunchPad board).

Hey Amey,

I agree with Clemens. You can use either. Personally, I prefer developing with CCS as I'm more familiar with it.

Here are some useful resources for you. There is example code for the MSP430F5529 pheripherals here: dev.ti.com/.../

There is also some a MSP workshop training that walks you through some of the different capabilities of the MSP430F5529 on the MSP-EXP430F5529LP launchpad, here: training.ti.com/msp430-workshop-series

Thanks!
JD
