Promotion of MSP430FR2433 MCU LaunchPad™ kit

[agaelema 39]

Hi,

The new MSP430FR2433 ValueLine Launchpad is with a promotional price.

https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/msp430blog/archive/2017/11/08/introductory-price-of-4-30-for-msp430fr2433-mcu-launchpad-kit?HQS=epd-mcu-msp-vline-fb-blog-LPdiscount-wwe&hootPostID=97a463d63a1e96cbf999f3c7a33c703e

It seems to be a good replacement to the old ValueLine G2

[Rickta59 589]

They should have saved that for 4/30  

16k of fram, 512bytes of info fram, 4k of real ram and a 32x32 hw multiplier. Not too shabby for $4.30.  That is certainly a lot more flexible than the original G2 launchpad and it has the new FET so you can use it on linux.  If nothing else you can use it as a programmer for your off chip msp430g2553.

[Tauronts 1]

This code below is needed to work with the new MSP430FR2433?
If so, where do I put it?

Sorry for the inconvenience, I have just bought as my first MSP, before I had just tried some of the MSPG2553.

@Tauronts

You do not need to add them. They are defined by TI to indicate the peripherals and modules hat the microcontroller has.

Sorry to confuse. When I see a new msp430 chip I grep the header file for '_HAS_' which tells me what features are in the chip. I guess it would make more sense to read the datasheet

 

[veryalive 49]

Yes, the new FR2433 LP is a nice one; and good value-for-money.   The I/O is generous and handy.

I'm curious why TI configured it's internals the way they did. What is the end-user application(s)?  Why the HW 32 bit MPY (yes 32), only a 10 bit ADC, CRC, small FRAM, large SRAM; etcetera.

Thoughts?

 

[Tauronts 1]

I think you can change the way the memory is distributed, at least that's what CCS gives as an advice.

Thanks for clarifying Rickta.
