APPLICATION NOTE

Migrating from the MSP430F2xx and MSP430G2xx Families to the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx Family

Migrating from the MSP430F2xx and MSP430G2xx Families to the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx Family

This application report enables easy migration from MSP430F2xx flash-based MCUs to the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx family of FRAM-based MCUs. For the migration guide to MSP430FR57xx, see Migrating From the MSP430F2xx Family to the MSP430FR57xx Family. It covers programming, system, and peripheral considerations when migrating firmware. The intent is to highlight key differences between the two families. For more information on the use of the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx devices, see the MSP430FR58xx, MSP430FR59xx, MSP430FR68xx, and MSP430FR69xx Family User's Guide. Although the MSP430F2xx and MSP430G2xx families are used as a base for comparison, similar considerations apply when migrating from MSP430F1xx and MSP430F4xx families.

1 Introduction

The purpose of this application report is to highlight the key differences between the MSP430F2xx and MSP430G2xx families and the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx family to ensure a smoother migration. It is divided into (1) system-level considerations such as power management, (2) changes when handling nonvolatile memory, and (3) peripheral modifications. With respect to the instruction set, the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx family is completely backward code compatible with all other MSP430™ families. Any code migration is therefore impacted only by register or peripheral feature changes and slight variations in instruction cycle times, while the instruction set remains the same.

For any specific information, see the device-specific data sheet and errata.

NOTE

For the purpose of this application report, the term F2xx indicates the MSP430F2xx and MSP430G2xx families, and the term FR59xx indicates the MSP430FR58xx/FR59xx/68xx/69xx family.
