4.3 MSP430Ware and TI Resource Explorer

TI Resource Explorer is a tool integrated into CCS that allows you to browse through available design resources. TI Resource Explorer will help you quickly find what you need inside packages including MSP430Ware, ControlSuite, TivaWare and more. TI Resource Explorer is well organized to find everything that you need quickly, and you can import software projects into your workspace in one click.

TI Resource Explorer Cloud is one of the TI Cloud Development tools, and is tightly integrated with CCS Cloud. See Section 4.1.1 for more information.

MSP430Ware is a collection of code examples, software libraries, data sheets and other design resources for all MSP430 devices delivered in a convenient package – essentially everything developers need to become MSP experts.

In addition to providing a complete collection of existing MSP430 design resources, MSP430Ware also includes a high-level API called MSP Driver Library. This library makes it easy to talk to MSP430 hardware. For more information, visit MSP430Ware for MSP Microcontrollers.
