CCS/MSP-EXP430G2: MSP-EXP430G2 example project for CCS

Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to create a new project using the MSP-EXP430G2 and the MSP430G2452.

With my current code composer installation, I can only see options for the G28xx series, not the G24xx. Am I missing some software, and if so how do I go on about adding it?

  • Carlos,

    What version of CCS and MSP430Ware are you using?

    When creating new projects I can see MSP430G2452 and in Resource Explorer I can see the examples for it in MSP430Ware.

    Here is a screen shot of the project wizard

    Here is one of Resource Explorer

    Regards,

    John

  • All the software is installed, but I can only select devices from the C2000 family. Please see below for details/version,

  • Carlos,

    Drop down box in the CCS Project Wizard type MSP430G2452 or just G2452 like in my screen capture. It should then show the device on the right. If it does not then CCS is missing the device files for MSP430.

    As far as browsing examples. Go to the View menu and select Resource Explorer. This will open the window shown in my second screen capture. You can type G2452 in the box at the top to filter it for content for that device.

    There is also a CCS workshop for using MSP430 here:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    It uses F5529 but the same instructions should work for G2452.

    Regards,

  • There are no options outside the C2000 family. I'm reinstalling CCS to see whenever the issue remains.

    Edit: Reinstalling CCS worked. I can now create and import projects for the MSP430 series.

  • Great!

    If you need to add support for an additional family later what you can do is run the installer again but point it to your existing installation. it will then let you select items to add. This method is a little faster than a new install, but not a whole lot.
