It isn’t much trouble programming one of TI’s MSP430 chips, but outside of the official Flash Emulation Tool, TI doesn’t make programming one of these microcontrollers cheap. The most common way of ...

We are certainly spoiled by all the microcontroller options nowadays — which is a great problem to have. But between the good old 8-bit controllers and an increasing number of 32-bit varieties, it ...

Linux embedded development doesn't only mean embedding Linux in a product, it also means using Linux as a development platform for embedded microprocessors. The majority of computer processors are not ...

There's no question that we're fans of the Arduino here at GeekDad; however, that doesn't mean we don't occasionally dabble with other micro-controllers. The Texas Instruments MSP430 Launchpad Kit is ...

The chapter describes the central processing unit (CPU) of the MSP430 and its most closely associated modules, the clock generator and reset circuitry. The earlier parts of the chapter, which cover ...

1. The 48-MHz MSP432 MCU integrates a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F core. TI has higher-performance Cortex-M and Cortex-A solutions with faster clock speeds, which get work done more quickly. However, the ...

Now, customers developing MSP430-based products can quickly and easily add GainSpan low power Wi-Fi connectivity and take advantage of advanced networking features and capabilities not readily ...

This chapter provides an introductory tour of the MSP430 and its basic features. The programs are selected to run on the simplest demonstration board currently available, the Olimex 1121 starter kit ...

In Part III of our consumer application series, let’s take a closer look at consumer applications involving sensors. The application processor in a typical tablet system is in charge of system ...

Providing a comprehensive software ecosystem for simplified microcontroller development, Texas Instruments Incorporated announced the new MSP430Ware software and resource package. MSP430Ware offers a ...
