Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 40-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module 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 plug-in module or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers.
The MSP430F5529 16-bit MCU has 128KB of flash memory, 8KB of RAM, 25-MHz CPU speed, integrated USB, and many peripherals – plenty to get you started in your development.
Custom USB functionality can be quickly added using the free open-source USB tools and examples available in the MSP430 USB Developers Package. This includes the MSP430 USB Descriptor Tool, which quickly customizes any combination of USB interfaces and automatically generates your USB descriptors for those interfaces.
Free software development tools are also available: TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench™ IDE (IAR), and the community-driven Energia open-source code editor. More information about the LaunchPad development kit including documentation and design files can be found on the tool page at www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430f5529lp.
