MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP

‑

EXP430FR4133)

Figure 11. Programming the LaunchPad With Program Batch Files

If desired, the "Program <Example>.bat" file can be modified to point to your own projects' binary file.

NOTE: After importing and compiling the software source code in an IDE such as CCS or IAR, the

TI-TXT binary files located in the /Binary/ folder are not updated automatically. Copy the

newly compiled binary from your IDE's /Workspace/Project/ directory and replace the

"<Example>.txt" in /Binary/ for the batch file to program your own binary file.

3.2 MSP430Ware Library

The examples are built upon MSP430 libraries shown below that are available from TI. All libraries are

available as part of MSP430Ware. Downloading CCS includes MSP430Ware along with TI Resource

Explorer.

• Driver library (MSP430DRIVERLIB): a foundational MSP430 software library that is useful for

interfacing with all MSP430 core functions and peripherals, especially clocks and power.

• Graphics library (MSP430-GRLIB): a library for interfacing MSP430 devices to dot-matrix LCD displays.

Contains primitives for simple drawing as well as images and more.

• Capacitive Touch Library (CAPSENSELIBRARY): a library for capacitive touch sensing applications.

This library supports the use of buttons, sliders, wheels and more. Highly configurable for each

application.

When you begin your own development, you will need more information about these libraries than can be

included in this user's guide. All of the information that you need is in MSP430Ware or the specific library

documentation linked above.

3.3 Development Environment Requirements

To use any of the software examples with the LaunchPad, you must have an IDE that supports the

MSP430FR4133 device (see Table 7). For more details on where to download the latest IDE, see

Section 4.3.
