1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

The MSP430G2553 16-bit MCU has 16KB of flash, 512 bytes of RAM, up to 16-MHz CPU speed, an 8- channel 10-bit ADC, capacitive-touch enabled I/Os, a universal serial communication interface, and more – plenty to get started in your development. Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers that support a wide range of available BoosterPack plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. You can either design your own BoosterPack plug-in module or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers. The LaunchPad development kit features an integrated DIP target socket that supports up to 20 pins, allowing MSP430 entry-level MCUs to be plugged into the LaunchPad development kit. The MSP‑EXP430G2ET LaunchPad development kit comes with an MSP430G2553 MCU by default. The MSP430G2553 MCU has the most memory available of the compatible entry-level MCUs. Free software development tools are also available, such as TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench® for MSP430 IDE (IAR EW430). Both of these IDEs support EnergyTrace™ technology for real-time power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430G2553 LaunchPad development kit. More information about the LaunchPad development kit, including documentation and design files, can be found on the MSP430G2553 LaunchPad development kit tool page.

1.4.2 Running the Out-of-Box Experience

The LaunchPad development kit includes a pre-programmed MSP430G2553 MCU already installed in the target socket. When the LaunchPad development kit is connected through USB, the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) demo starts with a two LED toggle sequence. Press button P1.3 to switch the application to the Live Temperature mode. The LaunchPad development kit should start streaming live temperature data to the PC to be visualized in the MSP-EXP430G2ET OOBE GUI or displayed in a serial terminal. A reference temperature is taken at the beginning of this mode, and the LEDs of the LaunchPad development kit signal a rise or fall in temperature by varying the brightness of the on-board red or green LED, respectively. The reference temperature can also be recalibrated to the ambient temperature with another button press on P1.3. You can influence the temperature of the MCU by blowing hot or cold air onto it, and you can then see changes in the LED brightness or data changes on the GUI. This GUI is created with GUI Composer 2.0 with the source available for customization, imported from the TI Cloud Gallery. The serial communication port on the PC must be configured with 9600 bps, one stop bit, and no flow control to display the values correctly. NOTE: The OOB cloud GUI is supported in only the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers. An installer for the offline standalone GUI can also be downloaded from the TI Cloud Gallery.

1.5 Next Steps: Looking Into the Provided Code

After the EVM features have been explored, the fun can begin. It is time to open an integrated development environment and start editing the code examples. See Section 4 for available IDEs and where to download them. The quickest way to get started using the LaunchPad development kit is to use TI's Cloud Development Tools. The cloud-based Resource Explorer provides access to all of the examples and resources in MSPWare. Code Composer Studio Cloud is a simple cloud-based IDE that enables developing and running applications on the LaunchPad development kit. The out-of-box source code and more code examples are provided and available on the download page. Code is licensed under BSD, and TI encourages reuse and modifications to fit specific needs. Section 3 describes all functions in detail and provides a project structure to help familiarize you with the code. With the onboard eZ-FET debug probe, debugging and downloading new code is simple. A USB connection between the EVM and a PC through the provided USB cable is all that is needed.

  • To remove any and all influence from the eZ-FET debug probe for high-accuracy target power measurements
  • To control 3-V and 5-V power flow between the eZ-FET and target domains
  • To expose the target MCU pins for uses other than onboard debugging and application UART communication
  • To expose the programming and UART interface of the eZ-FET so that it can be used for MCUs other than the onboard MCU.

This provides 5-V power from the USB and also regulates this power rail to 3.3 V for eZ-FET operation and 3.3 V to the target side of the LaunchPad development kit. Power from the eZ-FET is controlled by jumper J101. For 3.3 V, make sure that a jumper is connected across the J101 3V3 terminal.

2.3.2 BoosterPack Plug-in Module and External Power Supply

Header J4 is present on the board to supply external power directly. It is important to comply with the MCU voltage operation specifications when supplying external power. The MSP430G2553 has an operating range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. For more information, see the MSP430G2x53, MSP430G2x13 Mixed- Signal Microcontrollers data sheet.

2.4 Measure MSP430 Current Draw

To measure the current draw of the MSP430G2553 using a multi-meter, use the 3V3 jumper on the J101 jumper isolation block. The current measured includes the target MCU and any current drawn through the BoosterPack plug-in module headers. To measure ultra-low power, follow these steps: 1. Remove the 3V3 jumper in the J101 isolation block, and attach an ammeter across this jumper. 2. Consider the effect that the backchannel UART and any circuitry attached to the MSP430G2553 may have on current draw. Consider disconnecting these at the isolation jumper block, or at least consider their current sinking and sourcing capability in the final measurement. 3. Make sure there are no floating inputs/outputs (I/Os) on the MSP430G2553. These cause unnecessary extra current draw. Every I/O should either be driven out or, if it is an input, should be pulled or driven to a high or low level. 4. Begin target execution. 5. Measure the current. If the current levels are fluctuating, it may be difficult to get a stable measurement. It is easier to measure quiescent states. EnergyTrace technology can also be used to compare various current profiles and better optimize your energy performance.

2.5 Clocking

The MSP-EXP430G2ET provides an external clock in addition to the internal clocks in the MCU.

  • Y1: 32.768-kHz 12.5-pF crystal The 32.768-kHz crystal allows for lower LPM sleep currents than do the other low-frequency clock sources. Therefore, the presence of the crystal allows the full range of low-power modes to be used. By default, the crystal is not connected to the MSP430G2553 because the target pins are multiplexed with two BoosterPack plug-in module header pins. 0-Ω resistors R3 and R9 must be removed, while R5 and R7 must be shorted across to connect the external crystal to the MSP430G2553. See the onboard crystal selection resistors silkscreen for how to configure the resistors to select between the crystal or the BoosterPack plug-in module pins. The internal clocks in the MCU default to the following configuration:
  • MCLK: DCO at 1 MHz
  • SMCLK: DCO at 1 MHz
  • ACLK: LFXT1 at 32.768 kHz For more information about configuring internal clocks and using the external oscillators, see the MSP430x2xx Family User's Guide.

2.6 Using the eZ-FET Debug Probe With a Different Target

The eZ-FET debug probe on the LaunchPad development kit can interface to most MSP430 MCUs, not just the onboard MSP430G2553 target MCU.

This is necessary, because the debug probe cannot connect to more than one target at a time over the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) connection. 2. Make sure the target board has proper connections for SBW. Note that to be compatible with SBW, the capacitor on RST/SBWTDIO cannot be greater than 2.2 nF. The documentation for designing MSP430 JTAG interface circuitry is the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide. 3. Connect these signals from the debug probe side of the isolation jumper block to the target hardware:

  • 5 V (if 5 V is needed)
  • 3.3 V
  • GND
  • SBWTDIO
  • SBWTCK
  • TXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used)
  • RXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used) This wiring can be done either with jumper wires or by designing the board with a connector that plugs into the isolation jumper block.

2.7 BoosterPack Plug-in Module Pinout

The LaunchPad development kit adheres to the 20-pin LaunchPad development kit pinout standard. A standard was created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad development kit and BoosterPack plug-in module tools across the TI ecosystem. While most BoosterPack plug-in modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSP- EXP430G2ET LaunchPad development kit is compatible with all 20-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules that comply with the standard. If the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack plug-in module does not explicitly indicate compatibility with the MSP-EXP430G2ET LaunchPad development kit, compare the schematic of the candidate BoosterPack plug-in module with the LaunchPad development kit to ensure compatibility. Sometimes conflicts can be resolved by changing the MSP430G2553 pin function configuration in software. To check the compatibility of your desired BoosterPack plug-in modules for your design, with a LaunchPad development kit of your choice, you can use the BoosterPack Checker tool (see Figure 9). This allows you to select any LaunchPad development kit we offer and determine its compatibility with any number of BoosterPack plug-in modules that we offer. You can also add your own BoosterPack plug-in module to check its compatibility as you prototype that next design.

5 FAQ

Q: I can't get the backchannel UART to connect. What's wrong? A: Check the following:

  • Do the baud rate in the host terminal application and the USCI settings match?
  • Are the appropriate jumpers in place, on the isolation jumper block?
  • Probe on RXD and send data from the host. If you don't see data, it might be a problem on the host side.
  • Probe on TXD while sending data from the MSP. If you don't see data, it might be a configuration problem with the USCI module. Q: The device is not answering to any communication, JTAG or UART. A: If you are experiencing difficulties in communicating to the attached MSP430 target MCU, even though all the communication drivers for the MSP-EXP430G2ET are loaded correctly, the emulator is probably set to a wrong communication state. This can be fixed by reconnecting the LaunchPad development kit and restarting the communicating application. Also make sure that all the jumpers on J101 are connected properly between the emulator and the target MCU.
