ez430 software

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5509, CC1101

Hello,

I've ez430-chronos watch and there is also BM-USBD4 usb dongle with msp430f5509/cc1101. The problem is there is no drivers for Windows (didn't check under Linux) and there is no information about this ap on the internet (???).  Does anybody know where I can get such drivers?

I've uploaded software from wiki to the watch and altitude sensor doesn't work and also RF doesn't work. It looks like my watch is some new revision without any information on the internet. Does any TI employees any info about it?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    I cannot find any drivers for msp430f5509/cc1101 either. This is very frustrating. Plenty of info on the internet for CC1111 though, of no use to me. Looking for any/all information. Thank you.

    Hi Luka,

    I'm also encounter some problems with msp430f5509/cc1101.

    When you say drivers, do you mean the software project for the RF access point (white PCB)? Then the software project is inside the install directory when you install the control software, slac341c.zip.

    In order to program this white-PCB RF access point, a CC debugger is needed. But I am not sure how to do the wiring as described in session 4.3 of SLAU292D since this is  a white-PCB RF AP.  Moreover, a full-licensed code composer (in the past, IAR kickstart version can compile the code of RF AP) is needed for the compilation and downloading of firmware.

    Any one has ideas that can help? Thanks in advance.

    Are you sure that CC debugger is needed? Comparing documentation in eZ430-ChronosAP-868 V1.1 Schematics - white PCB.pdf and eZ430-Chronos Debug IF Schematic V2.0.pdf (both files from slac388b.zip installation) it seems to me that four pins on edge of the board (for which I got handy 90 degree pins) correspond nicely to middle four pins in MSP-eZ430U and they correspond to two-wire JTAG (if I'm not mistaken). I don't have female-female headers needed for connection so I can't confirm this.

    Hi,

    Agred with what you mentioned. The new RFAP (white-PCB) has this 4-hole that can be connected to debug-IF. Will try out next time.

    The old RFAP (black-PCB) don't have this 4-hole. Thanks for the suggestion.
