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 development
board 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 applications
by programming them into the MSP430’s flash using the Rowley
CrossConnect for MSP430, the TI parallel port Flash Emulation Tool
(FET), and a number of other third party JTAG and BSL interfaces.
- Integrated Debugger With the CrossConnect, parallel port
FET, or a number of thrid party JTAG programming adapters attached, you can
use the integrated debugger to step through and diagnose problems in your
software on your target board.
- Help system The built-in help system provides context-sensitive
help and a complete reference to the CrossStudio IDE and tools.
Getting Started
The CrossStudio Tutorial section gives an overview
of how to get started with CrossWorks for MSP430.
SoftBaugh, Olimex, and Texas Instruments Starter Kit Examples
To get you started with the MSP430 and CrossWorks for MSP430, we have written
a number of demonstration programs for SoftBaugh and Olimex
boards. We've collected together all the example programs that TI have distributed
for the MSP430 Starter Kits and packaged them into a number of CrossStudio
projects for convenience. You'll find all the example projects here.
Release Notes
Please take a moment to read the release
notes for this version of CrossWorks. In particular, if you plan to use
a third party programming adapter, please read our documentation on integrating
third party JTAG interfaces into CrossStudio.
