Run SPPDemo example with 25MHz external clock.....

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438A

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the SPPdemo (on MSP430F5438A microcontroller) example using an external fast clock (25MHz) as source rather than the internal DCO as in the original application.

I modified the SPPdemo code (HAL.c) as follow:


the StartCrystalOscillator(void) was modified in order to enable the XT2IN and XT2OUT pins to use the external clock.

static void StartCrystalOscillator(void)
{
   /* Set up XT1 Pins to analog function, and to lowest drive           */
   P7SEL   |= (BIT1 | BIT0);

   /* Set up XT2 Pins to analog function                                */
   P5SEL   |= (BIT3 | BIT2);

   /* Set internal cap values.                                          */
   UCSCTL6 |= XCAP_3;

   /* Loop while the Oscillator Fault bit is set.                       */
   while(SFRIFG1 & OFIFG)
   {
     while (SFRIFG1 & OFIFG)
     {
        /* Clear OSC fault flags.                                       */
       UCSCTL7 &= ~(DCOFFG + XT1LFOFFG + XT1HFOFFG + XT2OFFG);
       SFRIFG1 &= ~OFIFG;
     }

     /* Reduce the drive strength.                                      */
     UCSCTL6 &= ~(XT1DRIVE1_L + XT1DRIVE0);

     /* Maximum drive strength for XT2 (25 MHz).                                      */
     UCSCTL6 |= (XT2DRIVE1|XT2DRIVE0);

   }
}

In order to disable DCO/FLL, in the SetSystemClock(Cpu_Frequency_t CPU_Frequency) i commented the code from


   /* Set DCO to lowest Tap.                                            */
   UCSCTL0 = 0x0000;

to the end of the function.

Applying this modifications the program fails in the BSC_Initialize(HCI_DriverInformation, 0); during stack opening....

What is wrong? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
