CCS/MSP430FR5994: Code Limit Reached for MSP430 Launchpad

Part Number: MSP430FR5994
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE, , MSP430FR5969

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

  I have Code Composer Studio  Version: 6.0.1.00040 installed. I recently installed "MSP430Ware_3_80_04_05_setup.exe" to use RTOS & SD card in MSP430FR5994. But, I do not find any examples that I can use in development board "MSP430FR5994 LaunchPad Development Kit". I was looking speciifically for example using SD card usage. I did find some examples around MSP430FR5969 but when I tried to build the same (project name 'fatsdraw_MSP430FR5969'), the compiler showed 'error #10269: output file "fatsdraw_MSP430FR5969.out" exceeds code size limit'.

  Is there any code limit for trying out this launchpad (MSP430FR5994)? Like Tiva C MCU builds, is MSP430 builds are free or I need to procure license? Would appreciate if anyone could share the relevant links where I can get the necessary solution!

  Purpose: I am trying to build a battery operated (low power) data logger using MSP430FR5994 with a few ADC channels, UART ports, I2C ports, SD card with FatFs file system. I plan to build the basic skeleton in the 5994 launchpad then once the prototyping/code build is done, will move to mass production.

Thanks

    Hi Soumyajit,

    Do you have activated full licence of CCS 6.0 ( processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Download_CCS )? It is highly recommended to use latest CCS version. Latest version CCS can be downloaded and used free of charge.

    Hello,

    <<< I recently installed "MSP430Ware_3_80_04_05_setup.exe" to use RTOS & SD card in MSP430FR5994.
    As I remember, your CCS version is unsupported. Please check CCS minimal version required by MSP430Ware_3_80_04_05.

    <<< But, I do not find any examples that I can use in development board "MSP430FR5994 LaunchPad Development Kit". I was looking speciifically for example using SD card usage.
    Out of box project example uses SD card, however it is not TI-RTOS but driverlib based.
    Check manuals for your card.
    If you know TI-RTOS and driverlib you will build your logger in a few days.

    <<< I was looking speciifically for example using SD card usage.
    Issue comes from your old CCS and compiler versions. Move to newer products.

    <<< Is there any code limit for trying out this launchpad (MSP430FR5994)?
    Yes. Your project code and data sizes are limited by MCU features.

    <<< Like Tiva C MCU builds, is MSP430 builds are free or I need to procure license?
    Starting from CCSv7 and TI compiler version brought with CCSv7, there are no code and data sizes compiler limits for the code and data sizes. You do not need to procure a license.

    <<< Would appreciate if anyone could share the relevant links where I can get the necessary solution!
    Move to the newest software tools and read documentation.
    Check compatibility requirements regarding CCS, TI compiler, TI-RTOS and driverlib.
