8.3.3 Recommended Software Options
8.3.3.1 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 the Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS).
8.3.3.2 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.
8.3.3.3 TI-RTOS
TI-RTOS is an advanced real-time operating system for the MSP430 microcontrollers. It features
preemptive deterministic multitasking, hardware abstraction, memory management, and real-time analysis.
TI-RTOS is available free of charge and is provided with full source code.
8.3.3.4 Command-Line Programmer
MSP430 Flasher is an open-source shell-based interface for programming MSP430 microcontrollers
through a FET programmer or eZ430™ development tool 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 Flash without the need for an IDE.
