Fred 453 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 A totally new MSP on the way. I assume a new device rather than just a new LaunchPad, although the video focuses on LaunchPads. Get ready for the next-gen #MSP430 MCUs - this ultra-low-power #tech will give you the boost you bluehash, cubeberg, spirilis and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 24 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Interesting..... A complete teaser video. Basically no info on what it could be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeke 693 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I wonder what it could be?!!! I made the video full screen, stopped it playing when the last board showed up. There's a part number on it. It's fuzzy though. Can anyone read it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vinicius.jlantunes 50 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I tried reading it as well, but no luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JSi 0 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The part that is clear: MSP-EXP432. It's a bit unclear after that. Best guess is P481R?On chip PLD? (I can dream ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 The part that is clear: MSP-EXP432.So likely to be MSP432 then? I think MSP stands for Mixed Signal Processor, but does anyone know where the 430 came from? What we really need is a TI emplyeee who can give us a nice bit of juicy leaked info.

Fred 453 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 The big question - who doesn't know what's coming but I fairly certain they'll be ordering one anyway? D^2, spirilis and dubnet 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What we really need is a TI emplyeee who can give us a nice bit of juicy leaked info. Always google & check octopart for kicks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 TI registered MSP432 as a trade mark and MSP432.com point to TI.com so that backs up the MSP432 idea. Avnet and Newark list a XMSP432P401RIPZR (via Octopart - thanks @spirilis) which is obviously not available yet. Listed as available from 4/6/15 for $5.59. I assume that's US format date, so April rather than June. XMS normally marks experimental silicon. The early FR5969 LuanchPad shipped with XMS parts. The only really interesting bit of info was the fact that Avnet list it as "ULTRA LOW POWER ARM MICRO CONTROLLER". It could be a mistake, but maybe it's something between the MSP430 and Tiva. Or maybe it's a Cortex M7? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D^2 24 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The big question - who doesn't know what's coming but I fairly certain they'll be ordering one anyway? This is the attitude I like the most and highly encourage . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My money is on M0/M0+: - not covered by other TI MCU lines - illogical for MSP family to have a higher performance core than Tiva - in line with low-power, low-cost competition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
