exp430F5438 example task

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438A

Does anyone have a working example of this configuration. I created the Task example using the RTSC tutorial and I am having lots of problems. I'm stuck with this one now. I would be eternally grateful to anyone that could send me a working example of this orr any msp430 SYS/BIOS example. I have installed all the latest updates (I think).

This is going to be an AWESOME product. It reminds me of RSX-11 and the PDP-11 architecture.

Thanks,

Steve

  • Steve,

    I’m not clear on how you've gotten to the point you’re at using the RTSC tutorial.

    What I’d recommend is to start with one of the example templates that ships with SYS/BIOS.  For example, start a new project in CCS:

    1) File->New->CCS Project

    2) Specify name of project, then “Next”

    3) Select “MSP430” in the Project Type drop down list, then “Next”

    4) For the Additional Project Settings dialog simply click “Next”

    5) In the Project Settings dialog select MSP430F5438A as the Device Variant, then “Next”

    6) In the Project Templates dialog, expand the SYS/BIOS folder, then expand the MSP430 Examples folder, select the “Task Example”, then “Finish”

    You should be able to build and run the project on your exp430F5438 board. 

    You should be able to follow this same flow to build examples using the other MSP430-specific templates, and the "Generic Example" project templates.  If this doesn’t work please let me know…

    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Steve,
    I remember seeing such errors when files from two different XDCtools versions were used in the same configuration. I don't know if it's possible to use multiple XDCtools installation at the same time in CCS, but if you keep seeing that error, you can enable verbose output during the configuration, which could help figure out the causes of the error.

    In your project, go to Build Properties->C/C++ Build->XDCtools->Advanced Options. There is an option "Show details during build". Enable it and post the complete output from Console window.

    Thanks,
    Sasha 

  • Thanks to Scott and Sasha. Using Scott's instructions I was able to get a good build. I'll go back later and review what was different about using the RTSC tutorial.
