  • CapTIvate Design Center tool

    • The CapTIvate Design Center is the one-stop-shop development environment for CapTIvate touch-sensing MCUs. In addition to serving as the CapTIvate development graphical user interface, the design center also contains all of the CapTIvate software examples and relevant technical documentation. To get the most out of your CAPTIVATE-FR2676, download and install the latest version of the CapTIvate™ Design Center GUI for MSP430™ Capacitive Sensing MCUs. The CapTIvate Design Center supports Microsoft®Windows®, Apple®macOS®, and Linux® host environments. The minimum required CapTIvate Design Center version with CAPTIVATE-FR2676 support is version 1.80.00.00.

  • Integrated development environment (IDE)

    • To program a software example to either a host LaunchPad development kit or the CAPTIVATE-FR2676, an integrated development environment is required. CapTIvate software examples support TI Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench® for MSP430 IDE (IAR EW). The minimum CCS version with support for the MSP430FR2676 MCU is version 8.3. The minimum IAR EW version is version 7.12.3.
