Introducing the MSP430-GCC

What’s the purpose of this project?

The purpose of this project is used to learning the msp430g2 microcontroller from scratch. And it also provide some basic knowledge about microcontroller programming.

Prerequisites

• Main board: MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Development Kit

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Development Kit is an easy-to-use microcontroller development board for the low-power and low-cost MSP430G2x MCUs. It has on-board emulation for programming and debugging and features a 14/20-pin DIP socket, on-board buttons and LEDs.

• Other devices will be required, depending on each examples.

Building the environment

In this project, the Ubuntu PC will be used for developing. So, all software tools are running on Linux environment. Some tools are used as following:

• gcc-msp430

  Open Source Compiler for MSP Microcontrollers

• mspdebug

  A free debugger for use with MSP430 MCUs.
