8.1.2.2.2.4 Production Programmers

The production programmers expedite loading firmware to devices by programming several devices

simultaneously.

PART NUMBER PC PORT FEATURES PROVIDER

Program up to eight devices at a time. Works with PC or as a

MSP-GANG Serial and USB Texas Instruments

stand-alone device.

8.1.2.2.3 Recommended Software Options

8.1.2.2.3.1 Integrated Development Environments

Software development tools are available from TI or from third parties. Open source solutions are also

available.

This device is supported by Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS).

8.1.2.2.3.2 MSP430Ware

MSP430Ware is a collection of code examples, data sheets, and other design resources for all MSP430

devices delivered in a convenient package. In addition to providing a complete collection of existing

MSP430 design resources, MSP430Ware also includes a high-level API called MSP430 Driver Library.

This library makes it easy to program MSP430 hardware. MSP430Ware is available as a component of

CCS or as a stand-alone package.

8.1.2.2.3.3 Command-Line Programmer

MSP430 Flasher is an open-source, shell-based interface for programming MSP430 microcontrollers

through a FET programmer or eZ430 using JTAG or Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) communication. MSP430 Flasher

can be used to download binary files (.txt or .hex) files directly to the MSP430 microcontroller without the

need for an IDE.

8.1.3 Device and Development Tool Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all

MSP430 MCU devices and support tools. Each MSP430 MCU commercial family member has one of

three prefixes: MSP, PMS, or XMS (for example, MSP430FR4133). TI recommends two of three possible

prefix designators for its support tools: MSP and MSPX. These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of

product development from engineering prototypes (with XMS for devices and MSPX for tools) through fully

qualified production devices and tools (with MSP for devices and MSP for tools).

Device development evolutionary flow:

XMS – Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the electrical specifications of the final

device

MSP – Fully qualified production device

Support tool development evolutionary flow:

MSPX – Development-support product that has not yet completed TI internal qualification testing.

MSP – Fully-qualified development-support product

XMS devices and MSPX development-support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:

"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."

MSP devices and MSP development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and

reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
