ATS programming on msp430

Hardware: MSP-EXP430FR5969

• CPU: MSP430FR5969 (TI MSP430 16-bit)
• FRAM: 64 KiB
• SRAM: 2 KiB

Setup environment

Debian GNU/Linux

Install some Debian packages.

$ sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev gcc-msp430 msp430-libc mspdebug:i386

Also install tools related to msp430, using Code Composer Studio (CCS). And check location of libmsp430.so file.

$ ./ccs_setup_linux32.bin
$ ls ~/ti
CCSExternalReferences/  Code Composer Studio 6.0.1.desktop*  ccsv6/  xdctools_3_30_03_47_core/
$ file -b ~/ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/DebugServer/drivers/libmsp430.so

How to build

Install ATS2 http://www.ats-lang.org/.

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ats2-lang/ats2-lang/ats2-postiats-0.0.8/ATS2-Postiats-0.0.8.tgz
$ tar xf ATS2-Postiats-0.0.8.tgz
$ cd ATS2-Postiats-0.0.8
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ export PATSHOME=/usr/local/lib/ats2-postiats-0.0.8

Compile the ATS source code for MSP430.

$ cd msp430-ats/examples/ats/blink
$ make
$ file app.elf
app.elf: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, TI msp430, version 1, statically linked, not stripped

Write to the board

Connect MSP430 board to your PC using USB cable. And run following commands.

$ ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
$ crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Sep 11 05:28 /dev/ttyACM0
$ make write

Original Document

Release: 20140602

BSP430 is a set of C language adaptation layers simplifying cross-MCU library and application development on Texas Instruments MSP430 microcontrollers.

The target audience is experienced embedded systems developers who need full control over the microcontroller but are willing to trade a small amount of performance for improved component re-usability and rapid prototyping.

BSP430 features:

• A configuration infrastructure allowing you to include only those resources and capabilities required by your application;
• A set of abstraction layers enabling efficient identification and manipulation of peripheral capabilities at both register and functional levels;
• A callbacks callback infrastructure allowing unrelated capabilities to share resources including port and timer interrupt handlers;
• A platform model that enables rapid development on common hardware solutions including six TI experimenter boards as well as custom boards;
• Integrated support for watchdog and low power mode execution
• A build infrastructure designed to simplify creating new applications, currently focused on the MSPGCC toolchain in a POSIX command-line environment supported by GNU Make
