This section outlines important steps to consider when transitioning existing software routines or an entire application to an MSP430F261x device. Even though MSP430F16x and MSP430F261x are code compatible and share many of the same peripherals, it can be said that, in most cases, migration is not as simple as programming the MSP430F16x binary image into an MSP430F261x device. In general, an application needs to be rebuilt on a source-code level (including all referenced code libraries) using the appropriate MSP430F261x device support files such as the header file and the respective linker command file. Doing this is the first step towards a successful migration to an MSP430F261x. The following sections provide more details regarding certain key aspects that need to be considered.
