8.1.1.3 Recommended Software Options
8.1.1.3.1 Integrated Development Environments
Software development tools are available from TI or from third parties. Open-source solutions are also
available. See the full list of available tools at www.ti.com/msp430tools.
This device is supported by the Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS).
See the MSP Debug Stack (MSPDS) landing page (www.ti.com/mspds) for useful information about
debugging tools.
8.1.1.3.2 MSP430Ware™ Software
MSP430Ware software 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 software also includes a high-level API called MSP430
Driver Library. This library makes it easy to program MSP430 hardware. MSP430Ware software is
available as a component of CCS or as a standalone package.
8.1.1.3.3 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.
8.1.2 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, MSP430FR59691). Texas Instruments 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 final device's electrical
specifications
MSP – Fully qualified production device
