MSP430FR5994: Interfacing the Pervasive EPD Extension kit with the MSP430FR5994

Part Number: MSP430FR5994
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Hi,

I have a few questions with interfacing the Pervasive EPD (E-paper) Extension EXT2 module with the MSP430FR5994 launchpad:

* Pervasive EPD Extension module (https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b/launchyourdesign/archive/2016/09/30/meet-the-new-e-paper-extension-kit-gen-2-by-pervasive-displays)

* Is the above EPD EXT2 module compatible with the MSP430FR5994 launchpad ? (I cannot find the launchpad in the TI BoosterPack Checker tool online)

* It says the extension module has 8Mbit onboard flash. Can we bypass this / not use this flash memory when displaying the images on the EPD and use the built-in MCU FRAM instead ?

* Does anyone know if the firmware provided with the TI Pervasive EPD Ext2 module is compatible with the MSP430FR5994 launchpad ?

thank you !

1. MSP-EXP432P401R Launchpad

2. EPD Extension Kit Gen 2 (EXT2) http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/kits/ext2_kit 

3. Epaper Display Library for Code Composer Studio: http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/download_forms/dl_ext2

I am trying to compile the project by importing in CCS, either its not compiling, but failing everytime.

    MPS launchpad hardware interface (20pin and 40pin definition) is compatible.
    On the firmware supporting FR5994. it is high commanded to contact with Pervasive display sides.
    from my sides, I think the firmware porting is needed in register level from MSP430F5529 to FR5994.
    The built-in MCU FRAM can be used as the memory such as the extension flash or EEPROM. Please check if the memory sides is enough for your application

    Thanks Xiaodong.

    - Are there anyone in the TI team or outside of TI integrated the EPD extension kit with any of the FRAM MSP430 launchpad boards ?

    - If the MCU memory (SRAM/FRAM) is used instead of the Extension board's memory, then does the Extension board APIs need to be adapted accordingly ?

    thanks

    Extension board APIs is not needed in case of the embedded FRAM.
    the embedded FRAM can be used just like the internal SRAM
