System Design Guidelines for SimpleLink™ MSP432E4 MicrocontrollersThe SimpleLink MSP432E4 microcontrollers are highly-integrated system-on-chip (SOC) devices with extensive interface and processing capabilities. Consequently, there are many factors to consider when creating a schematic and designing a circuit board. By following the recommendations in this design guide, you will increase your confidence that the board will work successfully the first time it is powered it up.
Using Feature Set of I2C Master on SimpleLink MSP432E4 MicrocontrollersThe inter-integrated circuit (I2C) is a multiple-master, multiple-slave, single-ended bus that is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers. The type of slave devices range from nonvolatile memory to data-acquisition devices like analog-to-digital converters (ADC), sensors, and so forth. This application report demonstrates how to use the feature rich I2C master on the SimpleLink MSP432E4 microcontrollers to communicate with a host of slave devices in a system.
Using SimpleLink MSP432E4 Microcontrollers Over JTAG InterfaceThe IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990, IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture (JTAG) is a method for verifying designs and testing printed circuit boards after assembly. It is used as the primary means for transferring data to a nonvolatile memory of an embedded system and debugging embedded software. This application report describes the physical connections for JTAG and design considerations to be taken into account for a custom board. It also shows how to use the JTAG interface on the SimpleLink MSP432E4 LaunchPad development kit for debugging the onboard microcontroller using an external debugger, or by using the onboard debugger for debugging an off-board microcontroller.
User's Guides
MSP432E4 SimpleLink™ Microcontrollers Technical Reference ManualDescribes the MSP432E4 family of microcontrollers, including the functional blocks of the system-on-chip (SoC) device designed around the Arm Cortex-M4F core.
Bootloader for MSP432E4 SimpleLink™ Microcontrollers User's GuideThe bootloader is a small piece of code that can be programmed at the beginning of flash to act as an application loader as well as an update mechanism for applications running on a SimpleLink MSP432E4 Arm Cortex-M4-based microcontroller. The bootloader can be built to use the UART, SSI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, or USB ports to update the code on the microcontroller. The bootloader is customizable through source code modifications, or simply deciding at compile time which routines to include. Because full source code is provided, the bootloader can be completely customized
