Here is some code to drive ws281x strips using DMA driven SPI for the msp430f5529. I hadn't seen any example code showing how to use DMA and SPI. The example also provides some code that shows how to use inline asm that will work with both msp430-gcc and msp430-elf-gcc. The code below was tested with a ws2811 strip and msp430-elf-gcc. https://gist.github.com/RickKimball/9761b8f5a89d46a53939 -rick

Using the FRAM as though it were RAM on the msp430fr59xx chips can make it really easy to drive those ws281x chips even at a relatively slow MCU clock rate. The ws281x chips are great because you can get a boat load of leds for the cost of only one pin. Also, it doesn't hurt the price of these ws281x chips keeps falling and making them more and more attractive. I decided to see if I could take advantage of FRAM to help me drive some of those leds. I ended up with an extremely simple driver routine that works great even when you clock the FRAM MCU @ 6MHz. You couldn't really do this on a RA
