CCS/MSP430G2211: Add MSP430G2211 to the Board - Energia

Part Number: MSP430G2211
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I used the Arduino, and now I like the TI MSP430.

I have found that the way to code using Energia is like using the Arduino.  However, when I tried with MSP430G2211, I couldn't find it on the Board list.
I was recommended to using CCS for coding instead of the Energia, I do like to use the Energia which is familiar with the Arduino.
As I mentioned, first step I got stuck on the Energia is to select correct part from "Tools>Board".  How to add the MSP430G2211 to it?

Appreciate your help!

  • Mike,

    First I want to make sure I understand your situation. Are you using Energia and not finding the MSP430G2211 part in its board package? The latest version of Energia should have support for it, but if this is what you are having trouble with then I would suggest asking in the Energia forum.

    On the other hand, if you are trying to import an Energia sketch into CCS and not finding the MSP430G2211 in the Board list, then this is a known issue. CCS currently is tested only with Energia 18, hence works only with the list of boards supported by that version. The boards added in the latest Energia 21 are not yet supported in CCS. Please have a look at this related forum thread for more information. Support for this will come in the next release of CCS, scheduled for around end September.

  • Hi AartiG,

    Yes, I am using Energia and not finding MSP430G2211 part in its board package.  I just download and installed last week, and assume it is newest and greatest one.  As you said it should be there, but not.  I chat with TI, and they asked me to use CCS, but I like to use Energia.  That's why I brought this to the forum.
    It should be there?  If not, how can we add it to?

    I can find MSP430G2211 in the board list from CCS, but I am not familiar or get trouble to write code from the CCS.  From our words, I can see it is possible to import Energia sketch to the CCS?

    This is a question for Energia. Please post this question to the Energia forum.

    There are two ways you can develop with CCS - 1) create CCS projects (either start with example projects provided by TI or create your own from scratch) or 2) import an Energia sketch into CCS and build it using CCS.
