CCS/MSP-EXP430F5529: MSP-EXP430F5529

Hello,
I want to write a program on the micro-controller which receives data from RF and send it to the PC via serial and save it in a file. I guess the I/O library will be workable only for read as it happens during compilation time on host machine, but when I want to send data from MCU to the PC the write function doesn't work here as there is no file system on the MCU.

how to save a string in a file form from the micro-controller to the PC via serial port?

    Hi Beso,

    It sounds like you just need to transfer data from the MSP to the PC? I would do this by using a terminal emulator program (I personally like to use PuTTY, but there are several options) to record the data sent by the MSP via a communication interface (UART should be easy to implement). 

    We have several UART code examples that can be found by opening CCS and navigating to View > Resource Explorer. Then in Resource Explorer, navigate to Software > MSP430Ware > Devices > MSP430F5XX_6XX > MSP430F5529 > Peripheral Examples > Register Level. Here you will find a bunch of communication code examples that should help you get things going.

    Thanks!
