[Q]: eval boards with a MSP430 (flash+>2KB RAM)

Oct 24, 2003 8 Replies

Any hint or link ? I found TI only offers ROM versions. Peripherals are not important, but I need at least 2KB RAM and like Flash since UV erasing is no choice.



TIA

That calls for the 'F14x/'F44x types or the upcoming 'F16x controllers. Check out Olimex.com. Not only do they manufacture good and cheap PCB prototypes, they have an number of PIC/AVR/MSP development boards, too.

HTH, Jens

How about the MSP430F11X(1) Flash Emulation Tool MSP430F12X/F11X2/F12X2 Flash Emulation Tool MSP430F13X/F14x Flash Emulation Tool MSP430F41X Flash Emulation Tool MSP430F43X/44X Flash Emulation Tool

All on the TI website. I've personally bought about 10 of the MSPFET430P140 and just dropped them onto a motherboard for a project. Come with the crippleware IAR compiler. HTH,

they sell the eval boards that TI talks about. TI's links eventually take you there anyway.

Unfortunately, Softbaugh only takes AMERICAN EXPRESS.

Yes, that is a pain, but the boards seem to work ok.

The sample code is a bit scary (not to mention buggy) but that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Thanks, esp. the easyWeb board looks appealing.

Found those, but I understood FET is a kind of JTAG box ? Esp. because my brochure (found under a pile of papers) notes for the P140: Product family 13x,14x,15x,x16x So it seems not to be an eval board.

MSPFET430P140

Wrong. It's both. A CPU on a board with space for rocks (crystals) , padouts for all ports, a jtag interface, connectors to connect to a proto board, a led to flash (gotta have one of those) as well as the serial to Jtag interface.

Cheers,
