1 MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Overview

1.1 Overview

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad is an inexpensive and simple evaluation kit for the MSP430G2xx Value

Line series of microcontrollers. It is an easy way to start developing on the MSP430 with on-board

emulation for programming and debugging as well as buttons and LEDs for a simple user interface.

Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack headers which support a wide range of available

BoosterPack plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical displays,

environmental sensing, and much more. You can either design your own BoosterPack or choose among

many already available from TI and third party developers.

The LaunchPad features an integrated DIP target socket that supports up to 20 pins, allowing MSP430™

Value Line devices to be plugged into the LaunchPad board. The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad comes

with an MSP430G2553 device by default. The MSP430G2553 has the most memory available of the

compatible Value Line devices.

The MSP430G2553 16-bit MCU has 16KB flash, 512 bytes RAM, up to 16-MHz CPU speed, 10-bit ADC,

capacitive touch enabled I/Os, universal serial communication interface, and more – plenty to get you

started in your development.

Free software development tools are also available: TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE

(CCS), IAR Embedded Workbench™ IDE (IAR), and the community-driven Energia open source code

editor. More information about the LaunchPad, including documentation and design files, can be found on

1.4 Revisions

The first production revision of the LaunchPad in 2010 was 1.3. In 2012 the LaunchPad board revision

changed from 1.4 to 1.5 to align with the new release of Value Line devices. The differences in the

schematic and the kit contents are:

• Layout and Schematic:

– Voltage feedback in the emulator changed to increase startup stability (Rev 1.3 to Rev 1.4)

– Rearranged jumper J3 to support two UART configurations: vertical (SW UART), horizontal (HW

UART)

– VCC on the connector J4 can now be disconnected from the emulator VCC by J3

– Pullup resistor R34 and capacitor C24 on P1.3 removed to reduce the current consumption

– Presoldered male headers J1 and J2

2 Installation

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad installation consists of three easy steps:

1. Download the required software.

2. Install the selected IDE.

3. Connect the LaunchPad to the PC.

Then the LaunchPad is ready to develop applications or to use the pre-programmed demo application.

2.1 Download the Required Software

Different development software tools are available for the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad development

board. IAR Embedded Workbench™ KickStart IDE and Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) IDE are both

available in a free limited version. IAR Embedded Workbench allows 4KB of C-code compilation. CCS is

limited to a code size of 16KB. The software is available at http://www.ti.com/mspds. There are many

other compilers and integrated development environments (IDEs) available to use with the MSP-EXP430

LaunchPad including Rowley Crossworks and MSPGCC. However, example projects have been created

using IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart IDE and Code Composer Studio IDE (CCS). For more

information on the supported software and the latest code examples, visit the LaunchPad tool page

(http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430g2).

2.2 Install the Software

Download one of the integrated development environments (IDEs) (see Section 2.1). IAR KickStart and

CCS offer the required driver support to work with the MSP-EXP430 LaunchPad onboard emulation. Once

installed, the IDE should find the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad as USB:HID debugging interface. Now all is

set for developing MSP430G2xx based application on the LaunchPad.

2.3 Install the Hardware

Connect the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad socket board with the enclosed USB cable to a PC. The driver

installation starts automatically. If prompted for software, allow Windows to install the software

automatically. This is possible only if either IAR KickStart or CCS is already installed.

Getting Started With MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad

3 Getting Started With MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad

3.1 Getting Started

The first time the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit is used, a demo application automatically

starts as soon as the board is powered from the USB host. To start the demo, connect the MSP-

EXP430G2 LaunchPad with the included mini USB cable to a free USB port. The demo application starts

with an LED toggle to show the device is active. More information about the demo application can be

found in Section 3.2.

3.2 Demo Application, Internal Temperature Measurement

The LaunchPad includes a pre-programmed MSP430G2553 device already installed in the target socket.

When LaunchPad is connected via USB, the demo starts with an LED toggle sequence. The onboard

emulation generates the supply voltage and all the signals necessary to start.

Press button P1.3 to switch the application to a temperature measurement mode. A reference temperature

is taken at the beginning of this mode, and the LEDs of the LaunchPad signal a rise or fall in temperature

by varying the brightness of the on-board red or green LED, respectively. The reference temperature can

also be recalibrated with another button press on P1.3. The collected temperature data is also

communicated via back-channel UART through the USB emulation circuitry back to the PC. The internal

temperature sensor data from the MSP430G2553 device is sent to the PC to be displayed on the GUI.

The pre-loaded demo application and the GUI are found in the Software Examples zip folder. The GUI is

opened with LaunchPad_Temp_GUI.exe. This GUI is made with Processing (http://processing.org) with

the source available for customization. The serial communication port on the PC must be configured with

2400 bps, one stop bit, and no flow control to display the values correctly.

The demo application uses the on-chip peripherals of the MSP430G2553 device such as the 10-bit ADC,

which samples the internal temperature sensor, and 16-bit timers, which drive the PWM to vary brightness

of the LEDs and enable software UART for communication with the PC. The MSP430G2553 offers a USCI

interface that is capable of communicating through UART at up to 2 MBaud, but to be aligned with all the

other MSP430G2xx devices, the demo uses the Timer UART implementation, which can be used on all

the other devices. This way the demo can be used with any other MSP430G2xx device with an integrated

ADC, without any change in the program.

The provided applications can be a great starting point for various custom applications and give a good

overview of the various applications of the MSP430G2xx Value Line devices.

4 Develop an Application With the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad

4.1 Developing an Application

The integrated development environments (IDEs) shown in Section 2 offer support for the whole

MSP430G2xx Value Line. The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad needs only a connection to the USB of the

Host PC—there is no external hardware required. The power supply and the Spy-Bi-Wire JTAG signals

TEST and RST must be connected with jumper J3 to allow the onboard emulation connection to the

device. Now the preferred device can be plugged into the DIP target socket of the LaunchPad (see

Figure 2). Both PDIP14 and PDIP20 devices of the MSP430G2xx Value Line and the MSP430F20xx

family can be inserted into the DIP socket aligned to pin 1. A complete list of supported devices can be

found in Section 4.7.

Figure 2. Insert Device Into Target Socket

The following example for Code Composer Studio shows how to download and debug the demo

application described in Section 3.2.

4.2 Program and Debug the Temperature Measurement Demo Application

The source code of the demo application can be found in the Software Examples zip folder. Download the

project folder and unpack it to a location of your choice. For this demo, Code Composer Studio v4 or

newer must be installed.

The demo application can be loaded to the CCS workspace by clicking File→Import. Select the location of

the extracted project files and import Existing projects into Workspace. Now the MSP-EXP430G2-

Launchpad project appears inside the CCS workspace. The project must be marked as the active project

to start programming and debugging the device.

Connect the LaunchPad with an inserted MSP430G2553 device to the host PC and click the Debug button

on the CCS Toolbar. The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad is initialized and the download of the compiled

demo application starts. The CCS view switches to a debugging interface once the download is completed

and the application is ready to start. Figure 3 shows Code Composer Studio v4 with the MSP-EXP430G2

LaunchPad demo application in debug view.

4.3 Disconnect Emulator From Target With Jumper J3

The connection between the MSP-EXP430G2 emulator and the attached target device can be opened

with the jumper array J3. This can be useful to access an attached eZ430 target board by disconnecting

the Spi-Bi-Wire JTAG lines RST and TEST or if the JTAG lines are used for other application purposes.

The jumper array can also be used to measure the power consumption of the LaunchPad application. For

this intention, all connections except VCC must be opened, and a multi meter can used on the VCC

Jumper to measure the current of the MSP-EXP430G2 target device and its peripherals. The jumper J5

VCC also must be opened if the LaunchPad board is powered with an external power supply over J6

Table 1 or the eZ430 interface J4.

NOTE: The assignment of jumper J3 has been changed in MSP-EXP430G2 revision 1.5, see the

comments in Table 1 to find the assignment for a specific board revision.

Table 1. Jumper Connection J3 Between Emulator and Target

Jumper Signal Description

1 VCC Target socket power supply voltage (power consumption test jumper) (located on 5 before Rev. 1.5)

Test mode for JTAG pins or Spy-Bi-Wire test clock input during programming and test (located on 1 before

2 TEST Rev. 1.5)

3 RST Reset or Spy-Bi-Wire test data input/output during programming and test (located on 2 before Rev. 1.5)

4 RXD UART receive data input (direction can be selected by jumper orientation) (located on 3 before Rev. 1.5)

5 TXD UART transmit data output (direction can be selected by jumper orientation) (located on 4 before Rev. 1.5)

Jumpers 4 and 5 connect the UART interface of the emulator to the target device pins P1.1 and P1.2.

These jumpers can be used to select between a software (SW) UART or a hardware (HW) UART by their

orientation. In vertical orientation (SW UART), the jumpers connect the emulation TXD signal to target

P1.2 and the emulation RXD signal to target P1.1, as they are used for the software UART communication

on the demo application (see Section 2.2). In horizontal orientation (HW UART), the jumpers connect the

SLAU318F–July 2010–Revised January 2015 MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit

Develop an Application With the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad

www.ti.com

emulator TXD signal to target P1.1 and the emulator RXD to target P1.2, as required for the USCI module.

Keep in mind that UART communication is full duplex, so connections are made for both transmit and

receive on each side, and the labeling is specific to what action each side of the UART bus is performing.

For example, the emulator TXD (transmit) signal connects to the target RXD (receive) signal, and the

emulator RXD signal connects to the target TXD signal.

4.4 Program Connected eZ430 Target Boards

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad can program the eZ430-RF2500T target boards, the eZ430-Chronos

watch module, or the eZ430-F2012T/F2013T. To connect one of the ez430 targets, connector J4 must be

populated with a 0.050-in (1.27-mm) pitch male header, as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad With Attached eZ430-RF2500 Target Board

To program the attached target without interfering with the LaunchPad socket board, jumper connections

TEST and RST of J3 must be open. The interface to the eZ430 target board is always connected to the

MSP-EXP430G2 emulator, so the programming and debugging of a connected LaunchPad target device

is possible only if the eZ430 target is not connected on the same time. The application UART, on the other

hand, is connected directly to the LaunchPad target device, and jumper J3 can be closed to monitor the

transmission from the LaunchPad target to the attached eZ430. This way both possible connections, from

the device to the PC and from the device to the eZ430, can be established without changing the direction

of the UART pins.

The VCC connection to the eZ430 interface is directly connected to the LaunchPad target VCC and can

be separated with jumper J3, if the LaunchPad itself should be powered via a connected battery on J4. To

supply the eZ430 interface with the onboard emulator the jumper J3 VCC needs to be closed.

Table 2 shows the pinout of the eZ430 debugging interface J4, the first pin is the left pin located on the

emulator part of the LaunchPad.

Table 2. eZ430 Debugging Interface

Pin Signal Description

1 TXD UART transmit data output (UART communication from PC or MSP430G2xx to eZ430 target board)

2 VCC Power supply voltage (J3 VCC needs to be closed to supply via onboard emulator)

3 TEST / SBWTCK Test mode for JTAG pins and Spy-Bi-Wire test clock input during programming and test

4 RST / SBWTDIO Reset, Spy-Bi-Wire test data input/output during programming and test

5 GND Power supply ground

6 RXD UART receive data input (UART communication from eZ430 target board to PC or MSP430G2xx)
