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 applications
by programming them into the MSP430's flash using the Rowley CrossConnect
for MSP430 or the TI Flash Emulation Tool
(FET).
- MSP430 Hardware Debug With the CrossConnect or 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, the CrossConnect,
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.
Getting Started
The Getting Started section gives
an overview of how CrossWorks for MSP430 operates.
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.
