USER'S GUIDE

eZ430-Chronos™ Development Tool

Read This First

The eZ430-Chronos software development tool is a highly integrated, wearable, wireless development system that is based on the CC430F6137. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection.

If You Need Assistance

If you have any feedback or questions, support for the MSP430™ microcontrollers and the eZ430-Chronos™ software development tool is provided by the Texas Instruments Product Information Center (PIC) (support.ti.com), the TI E2E Forum (http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/default.aspx), and the eZ430-Chronos wiki (www.ti.com/chronoswiki). Additional device-specific information can be found on the MSP430 website (www.ti.com/msp430).

Related Documentation from Texas Instruments

The primary sources of MSP430 information are the device-specific data sheets and user's guides. The most up-to-date versions of the user's guide documents available at the time of production have been provided on the CD-ROM included with this tool. However, the most current information is found at www.ti.com/msp430.

Information specific to the eZ430-Chronos development tool can be found at www.ti.com/chronos.

MSP430 device and IDE user's guides may be accessed on the included CD-ROM under the user's guides section. The IDE user's guides include detailed information on setting up a project for the MSP430 using Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (SLAU157) and the IAR Embedded Workbench™ IDE (SLAU138).
