4.1.4 IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is another very powerful integrated development environment that

allows you to develop and manage complete embedded application projects. It integrates the IAR C/C++

Compiler, IAR Assembler, IAR ILINK Linker, editor, project manager, command line build utility, and IAR

C-SPY Debugger.

Note: MSP432 LaunchPad requires IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM Version 7.10 or later. Refer to

the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 7.40.2 for MSP432 User's Guide (SLAU574) for detailed

instructions of using the IDE with MSP432.

You can learn more about IAR Embedded Workbench and download it at https://www.iar.com/iar-

embedded-workbench/arm.

4.1.5 Energia

Energia is a simple open-source community-driven code editor that is based on the Wiring and Arduino

framework. Energia provides unmatched ease of use through very high level APIs that can be used across

hardware platforms. Energia is a light-weight IDE that doesn't have the full feature set of CCS, Keil, or

IAR. However, Energia is great for anyone who wants to get started very quickly or who doesn't have

significant coding experience.

You can learn more about Energia and download it at www.energia.nu.

4.3 MSPWare 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

MSPWare, 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.

MSPWare is a collection of code examples, software libraries, data sheets, and other design resources for

all MSP devices delivered in a convenient package – essentially everything developers need to become

MSP experts!

In addition to providing a complete collection of existing MSP design resources, MSPWare also includes a

high level API called MSP Driver Library. This library makes it easy to talk to MSP hardware. More

information can be found at http://www.ti.com/tool/mspware.
