TIDA-010042: What tools and launchpad can i use to program MSP430F5132 MCU?

Amar Brar

Part Number: TIDA-010042
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5132, MSP-EXP430FR5739, MSP430FR2433

Replicating TIDA-010042 reference design to implement solar charge controller. The code is available on website so what launchpad can I use to program the MSP430F5132 device? I could not find a launch pad with the MSP430F5132 device already on it. Also, if you could clearly explain the process. I am new to using MSP line of MCU`s.

Thanks

Hi Amar,

You could use the MSP MCU Programmer and Debugger to program and debug your device. The Design kits & evaluation modules could also be found on below page.

Will using a launchpad with a different MCU not work?

Thanks

Hi Amar,

It should work. Any launchpad with eZ-FET Lite or eZ-FET on board(details) could be used for a debugger for MSP430 devices. You could connect the jumpers of JTAG or SBW pins on board to your MSP430 device.

Ok. Instead of using the MSP430F5132, could I use a MSP-EXP430FR5739 Board with its on-board MCU? Will it be able to perform the same functions in the TIDA-010042 Design? I am asking because I currently have it. Will the software provided in the reference design directly transfer over via Code Composer Studio? Can you please go over the process of downloading the code from TI website and importing it into Code composer studio?

Thanks

You can't directly using the code of TIDA-010042 on FR5739. If you want, you need to confirm that the used functions on F5132 are supported by FR5739. But you still need to modify the source code manually to porting for the FR5739.

If I were to use the MSP430FR2433 launchpad would all I have to do is disconnect jumpers SBWTDIO and SBWTCK and connect these pins to the corresponding pins on the MSP430F5132? Would this allow me to upload and program the MSP430F5132?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please also connect the 3V3 and GND. Then it should work.
