3.2 Download the Required Software

Different development software tools are available for the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter's Board development board. Code Composer Studio IDE and IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 (EW430) are both available in a free limited version. The software is available at www.ti.com/msp430.

The firmware is larger than IAR KickStart's 8KB limit, so a full license of IAR Workbench is required to compile the application using IAR. A 30-day evaluation version of IAR is also available from http://supp.iar.com/Download/SW/?item=EW430-EVAL. This document describes working with Code Composer Studio (CCS).

There are many other compilers and integrated development environments (IDEs) for MSP430 that can be used with the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter's Board, including Rowley Crossworks and MSPGCC. However, the example project has been created using Code Composer Studio IDE and EW430. For more information on the supported software and the latest code examples visit the MSP-EXP430F5529 product folder.
