Want to get more information on macLib_msp430.lib

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2520, TIMAC

I am new to TI MSP430 and CC2520. I evaluate the possibility of  adding the wireless feature on one of my company's product. After contacting to our vendor and TI rep, I downloaded IEEE802.15.4 MAC stack from TI web site and IAR EW430 30-day evaluation revision. I noticed that in TIMAC-EXP5438-1.4.0 project, it includes macLib_msp430.lib and macLIbSec_msp430.lib. I wonder where can I get more detailed information on these two library files. Basically I want to know:

1.  I assume that these two files are generated by TI. Does TI keeps maintaining them ( update and publish periodically ) , or it just were sample libraries? If I use them in our product, is there any license issue on it?

2. On the sample project, it looks like the project only uses macLIb_msp430.lib, is it right?

3. What kind of  functions  / features were included in these libraries. Is there any document or application notes?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi,

    Those libraries periodically maintained and revised with every release of a new version of TIMAC

    (well in almost every release).

    Regarding licensing (as I remember this), as long as you use TIMAC on TI's devices, you'r ok,

    However a more detailed answer needed from TI representative, as I may miss thing or two

    macLIbSec_msp430.lib provides security services too.

    Inside TIMAC installation folder should a "documentation" folder with APIs documents, those

    APIs must describe all the supported functions.

    The documents found in this folder are very useful and probably can help you to answer your

    questions (it is also true regarding your second question).

    I strongly suggest you to briefly go over all the documentation found in this folder.
