TI LaunchPad MSP-EXP430G2 w/ MSP430G2231

Hardware

Platform TI MSP430: MSP430 microcontrollers (MCUs) from Texas Instruments (TI) are 16-bit, RISC-based, mixed-signal processors designed for ultra-low power. These MCUs offer the lowest power consumption and the perfect mix of integrated peripherals for thousands of applications.

Microcontroller	MSP430G2231
Frequency	1MHz
Flash	2KB
RAM	256B
Vendor	TI

Configuration

Please use lpmsp430g2231 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:lpmsp430g2231]
platform = timsp430
board = lpmsp430g2231

You can override default TI LaunchPad MSP-EXP430G2 w/ MSP430G2231 settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest lpmsp430g2231.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:lpmsp430g2231]
platform = timsp430
board = lpmsp430g2231

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = msp430g2231

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 1000000L

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

TI LaunchPad MSP-EXP430G2 w/ MSP430G2231 has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

Compatible Tools	On-board	Default
MSP Debug	Yes	Yes
