4.2 Information on the MSP430F5529

At some point, you will probably want more information about the F5529 device. For every MSP430

device, the documentation is organized as shown in Table 10.

Table 10. How MSP430 Device Documentation is Organized

Document For F5529 Description

Device family MSP430x5xx and MSP430x6xx Family User's Architectural information about the device,

user's guide Guide (SLAU208) including clocks, timers, ADC, and so on.

Device-specific MSP430F551x, MSP430F552x Mixed Signal Device-specific information and all parametric

data sheet Microcontroller data sheet (SLAS590) information for this device

4.3 Download CCS, IAR, mspgcc, or Energia

When you want to write your own programs, you will need one of these development environments.

Currently, the USB API does not support mspgcc. However, you can still use mspgcc to write non-USB

software on the F5529 LaunchPad, because the eZ-FET lite supports mspgcc.

As described in Section 3.2, the free version of IAR KickStart has a code-size limit of 8KB, which limits the

ability to compile some USB projects.

Energia is an easy-to-use open-source platform. It is a great place to get started if you are new to

LaunchPad or are in need of rapid prototyping.

4.4 USB Developers Package

The software examples included with the F5529 LaunchPad are built on the materials in the MSP430 USB

Developers Package. The developers package includes the USB API, USB Descriptor Tool, 20+ USB

examples, the Java HID Demo App, and a detailed programmer's guide to help you get started on writing

your own USB applications.
