3 Software Examples

Two software examples are included with the MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit (see Table 4), which can be found in the MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit download page and are also available in MSP430Ware software.

Table 4. Software Examples

Demo Name BoosterPack Plug-in Module Required Description More Details
OutofBox_LP-MSP430FR2476 None The out-of-box demo that is factory-programmed on the LaunchPad development kit. Demonstrates features of MSP430FR2476 device. Section 3.1
BlinkLED_LP-MSP430FR2476 None Blinks an LED on the LaunchPad development kit at a fixed interval. Section 3.2

To use any of the software examples with the LaunchPad development kit, you must have an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports the MSP430FR2476 device (see Table 5).

Table 5. IDE Minimum Requirements for LP-MSP430FR2476

Code Composer Studio IDE IAR Embedded Workbench for Texas Instruments MSP430 IDE
v8.0 or later v7.12.1 or later
