MSP430FR2476: Changing processors and looking for clock set-up help...

Hi Henry,

I recommend you look at the UART examples for this processor which can be found in the resource explorer here:

BR,

Thank you for the link.  I tried using msp430fr267x_CS_01.c from the examples which states 

// MSP430FR267x Demo - Configure MCLK for 8MHz sourced from DCO.

I took out the pin assignments and the stopping of the WDT because I have that earlier in the code.  This is what I have now:

#include <msp430.h>

static void Software_Trim();                // Software Trim to get the best DCOFTRIM value
#define MCLK_FREQ_MHZ 8                     // MCLK = 8MHz

void CS_init(void)
{
    __bis_SR_register(SCG0);                // disable FLL
    CSCTL3 |= SELREF__REFOCLK;              // Set REFO as FLL reference source
    CSCTL1 = DCOFTRIMEN_1 | DCOFTRIM0 | DCOFTRIM1 | DCORSEL_3;// DCOFTRIM=3, DCO Range = 8MHz
    CSCTL2 = FLLD_0 + 243;                  // DCODIV = 8MHz
    __delay_cycles(3);
    __bic_SR_register(SCG0);                // enable FLL
    Software_Trim();                        // Software Trim to get the best DCOFTRIM value


    CSCTL4 = SELMS__DCOCLKDIV | SELA__REFOCLK; // set default REFO(~32768Hz) as ACLK source, ACLK = 32768Hz
                                            // default DCODIV as MCLK and SMCLK source
}

static void Software_Trim()
{
    unsigned int oldDcoTap = 0xffff;
    unsigned int newDcoTap = 0xffff;
    unsigned int newDcoDelta = 0xffff;
    unsigned int bestDcoDelta = 0xffff;
    unsigned int csCtl0Copy = 0;
    unsigned int csCtl1Copy = 0;
    unsigned int csCtl0Read = 0;
    unsigned int csCtl1Read = 0;
    unsigned int dcoFreqTrim = 3;
    unsigned char endLoop = 0;

    do
    {
        CSCTL0 = 0x100;                         // DCO Tap = 256
        do
        {
            CSCTL7 &= ~DCOFFG;                  // Clear DCO fault flag
        }while (CSCTL7 & DCOFFG);               // Test DCO fault flag

        __delay_cycles((unsigned int)3000 * MCLK_FREQ_MHZ);// Wait FLL lock status (FLLUNLOCK) to be stable
                                                           // Suggest to wait 24 cycles of divided FLL reference clock
        while((CSCTL7 & (FLLUNLOCK0 | FLLUNLOCK1)) && ((CSCTL7 & DCOFFG) == 0));

        csCtl0Read = CSCTL0;                   // Read CSCTL0
        csCtl1Read = CSCTL1;                   // Read CSCTL1

        oldDcoTap = newDcoTap;                 // Record DCOTAP value of last time
        newDcoTap = csCtl0Read & 0x01ff;       // Get DCOTAP value of this time
        dcoFreqTrim = (csCtl1Read & 0x0070)>>4;// Get DCOFTRIM value

        if(newDcoTap < 256)                    // DCOTAP < 256
        {
            newDcoDelta = 256 - newDcoTap;     // Delta value between DCPTAP and 256
            if((oldDcoTap != 0xffff) && (oldDcoTap >= 256)) // DCOTAP cross 256
                endLoop = 1;                   // Stop while loop
            else
            {
                dcoFreqTrim--;
                CSCTL1 = (csCtl1Read & (~DCOFTRIM)) | (dcoFreqTrim<<4);
            }
        }
        else                                   // DCOTAP >= 256
        {
            newDcoDelta = newDcoTap - 256;     // Delta value between DCPTAP and 256
            if(oldDcoTap < 256)                // DCOTAP cross 256
                endLoop = 1;                   // Stop while loop
            else
            {
                dcoFreqTrim++;
                CSCTL1 = (csCtl1Read & (~DCOFTRIM)) | (dcoFreqTrim<<4);
            }
        }

        if(newDcoDelta < bestDcoDelta)         // Record DCOTAP closest to 256
        {
            csCtl0Copy = csCtl0Read;
            csCtl1Copy = csCtl1Read;
            bestDcoDelta = newDcoDelta;
        }

    }while(endLoop == 0);                      // Poll until endLoop == 1

    CSCTL0 = csCtl0Copy;                       // Reload locked DCOTAP
    CSCTL1 = csCtl1Copy;                       // Reload locked DCOFTRIM
    while(CSCTL7 & (FLLUNLOCK0 | FLLUNLOCK1)); // Poll until FLL is locked
}

Unfortunately my MCLK and SMCLK look the same as before, 1.667 to 2.5MHz with a lot of jitter.  Also, my ACLK has been 32.89 kHz...

I noticed the file's name includes MSP430FR267x but it's in the MSP430FR2476 folder, so I gather that it should be compatible...

Is there anything else I can try?  Thanks...
