Philipp 56 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm pretty confident that Energia will become one of the most popular 'Blink my first LED' solutions for beginners who want to explore TI's value line MCUs, and Energia already supports the most common variants of the MSP430G2xxx series. I really like the arduino-ish feel of Energia and it has a lot of potential, however the device support is (yet!) quite humble. Talking of 'boards' as the Arduino people are used to ('Leonardo' for USB compatible atmega32u4, 'Uno' for atmega 328p ..) Energia only supports the Launchpad by now. However I was able to program the standard Blink example to the Ez430F2012 with Energia's default G2452 profile without any errors. :angel: I think it should be quite easy to add an entry for the Ez430F2012 and the matching F2013 target boards to Energia's boards.txt or programmers.txt and I'll try it as soon as I have some spare time. I have absolutely no experience at all using mspdebug standalone and I don't know in detail how Energia utilizes it to program the chips, but I'm really curious about how hard it can be to add support for the F5510 for example. The OLIMEXINO manual reads: OLIMEXINO-5510 is intended to work with Energia - an Arduino-like IDE for MSP430. Thecommunity is working on adding full support for Energia. At the time of writing this manual such support isn't fully added but it is on the way. (https://www.olimex.com/dev/DUINO/OLIMEXINO-5510/OLIMEXINO-5510_Rev_A.pdf) Are any details about this active development available, or is there a way to contribute? I can't wait to use this neat little 12,50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rei Vilo 695 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As at today, there are two open "issues"/requests about extending the Energia support for other devices: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fluffy 3 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hopefully support for the FRAM boards (I have a couple of MSP-EXP430FR5739) will make it into an Energia binary release soon. Sounds from the discussion in the links that folks have patched relevant sections and gotten it to work, but my experience with attempting to build Energia from source have been uniformly flaky. I'd love to use Energia on those boards, however. The FRAM platform seems ideal for a small data logger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
energia 484 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Support for Fraunchpad (MSP-EXP430FR5739) is scheduled for the next release. More details on the next release will be posted on the Energia wiki. Once that is in place adding other F5XXX based boards such as the OLIMEXINO-5510 and the MSP430F5172 based Padrino (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1995) will be a breeze.

mkl 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi, I am trying to add support for a custom PCB to Energia. It has a MSP430F5510 with 24 MHz crystal on XT2, nothing on XT1. Unfortunately the Spy-Bi-Wire is not exposed. I found some pointers in issue #70 and tried to modify the code: in hardware/msp430/cores/msp430/wiring.c: UCSCTL4 = SELA__REFOCLK + SELS__XT2CLK + SELM__DCOCLK in hardware/msp430/libraries/USBSerial/descriptors.h: USB_XT_FREQ* from 4 to 24 A simple USBSerial sketch does not show up as an USB device at all so far. Could you please provide some pointers what else is missing to support the MSP430F5510 in this setup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
