Welcome to CrossStudio for the MSP430!
CrossStudio for MSP430 is a streamlined integrated development environment
for building, testing, and deploying MSP430 applications.
CrossStudio provides:
- Source Code Editor A powerful source code editor with
multi-level undo and redo, makes editing your code a breeze.
- Project System A complete project system organises your
source code and build rules.
- Build System With a single key press you can build all
your applications in a solution, ready for them to be loaded onto a developer
card or into the debugger.
- MSP430 Core Simulator The simulator mimics the behaviour
of the core MSP430 CPU, so you can test your applications without hardware.
- MSP430 Flash Programming You can dowload your programs
by programming them into the MSP430's flash using the Flash Emulation Tool
(FET).
- MSP430 Hardware Debug With the FET attached, you can
use the integrated debugger to step through and diagnose problems in your
software on your target board.
- Integrated Debugger The debugger will help you to quickly find
problems in your applications using either the simulator or the FET.
- Integrated Help system The built-in help system provides
context-sensitive help and a complete reference to the CrossStudio IDE and
tools.
