TI-RTOS on MSP430FR6989

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR6989

Trying to build a TI-BIOS or SYS/BIOS project on a MSP430FR6989 using CCS. There are no TI-BIOS project examples for the 6989 so I built the drivers using the instructions from: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Creating_TI-RTOS_Projects_for_Other_MSP430_Devices. Then I created a new RTSC project in CCS and added an RTCS configuration file. When I try to build, I get the following error:

ti.catalog.msp430.MSP430 : Device MSP430FR6989 is not supported. .xdchelp /Cobra_2ndGen line 7640 C/C++ Problem

I have been searching over the past week, but I can't find anything about TI-BIOS projects specifically for the 6989. I have found general instructions and I watched the TI-BIOS work shop, but the examples are too different than what I see on CCS,

Thanks for any help.

I have moved this to the (Missing Group) forum, hopefully they'll be able to better help you there. You may want to provide version information about CCS and TI-RTOS as well as this may be helpful for finding the issue.

I'll have to leave it to someone who knows the device support schedule of TI-RTOS to answer your specific question, but I thought I'd point out one item regarding the TI-RTOS kernel workshop materials.

It looks like there is a solution (in the "sols" folder of the labs and solutions download) that is relatively close to the processor you are interested in:

blink_MSP430_FR5969_HWI_SOL

I have found that most of the code for the 'FR5969 runs on the 'FR6989. While this might not solve your actual "build" problem, this example should be close to what you need, once the 'FR6989 is supported.

Hope this helps,
Scott

Thanks Katie,

I am using code composer version 6.1.0.00104 and the MSP430FR6989 launchpad. I've installed the latest TI-RTOS.

Hi Ronald,
Unfortunately the FR6989 device is not yet supported by TI-RTOS. The wiki you referred to pertains to older TI-RTOS and it talks about adding TI-RTOS (driver examples) to devices that had only TI-RTOS Kernel (SYS/BIOS) support and examples. The FR6989 doesn't even yet have the TI-RTOS kernel (SYS/BIOS) support yet. This support will be added along with examples to upcoming TI-RTOS and Kernel (SYS/BIOS) releases. I'll ask around for a timeline and let you know.

Regards,
Moses

Thanks Moses,In the mean time (while I am waiting for TI-BIOS support can you point me to DriverLib example code or app notes for using the USB back-channel UART for sending/receiving text to and from a serial port on a PC?

Hi Ronald,

I've searched online and haven't found any examples or app-note related to what you're doing. I'll recommend posting your question on the MSP430 forum where you might be able to get the help you need.

Regards,

Moses

I couldn't find a decent example either, so I created one and put it and created a TI wiki article to host it.

Hope this helps,

Many thanks. I will check it out tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

I got distracted by a different project for a while but I finally got a chance to download your demo code and check it out. I imported the project, built it and downloaded it and it works great. Thanks again.
