USER'S GUIDE

MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP‑EXP430FR2433)

MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP‑EXP430FR2433)

The MSP-EXP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ Development Kit is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) based on the MSP430FR2433 Value Line Sensing microcontroller (MCU). It contains everything needed to start developing on the ultra-low-power MSP430FR2x Value Line Sensing MCU platform, including onboard debug probe for programming, debugging, and energy measurements. The board includes two buttons and two LEDs for creating a simple user interface. It also supports using a supercapacitor (must be purchased and installed by the user) that acts like a rechargeable battery, enabling stand-alone applications without an external power supply.

Figure 1 shows the MSP-EXP430FR2433 LaunchPad development kit.

1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

The 16-MHz MSP430FR2433 device features 15.5KB of embedded FRAM (ferroelectric random access memory), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and high-speed write access. Combined with the 4KB of on-chip SRAM, users have access to 15.5KB of memory to split between their program and data as required. For example, a data logging application may require a large data memory with a relatively small program memory, so the memory may be allocated as required between program and data memory.

Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers, which support a wide range of available BoosterPack modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. Design your own BoosterPack plug-in module or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers.

Free software development tools are also available, such as TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench® IDE. Both of these IDEs support EnergyTrace™ technology for real-time power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad development kit.
