Post24 Apr 2008 22:00   eZ430-RF2500

Hi All,

I am trying to set up an mspgcc environment for programming my eZ430-RF2500 module from TI.

I have some problems so I downloaded MSPFET and try to read the content with this tool but this tool always says:
21:55:54 Initialize...
21:55:55 Device: MSP430F2274. Info(0x1000-0x10FF), Main:(0x8000-0xFFFF)
21:55:55 Reading device memory..
21:55:57 Read failed. Synchronization error.

anybody can give me some help?

Doesn't the EZ430-RF2500 kit come with compilers & demo software?
The eZ430-RF2500 is a complete wireless development tool for the MSP430 and CC2500 that includes all the hardware and software required to develop an entire wireless project with the MSP430 in a convenient USB stick.
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/ez430-rf2500.html


I believe the support software is here:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/ez430-rf2500.html#supportsoftware
Works for Code Composer & IAR.

And you can download IAR & CCE from here:

@ mobile-it

All I read on the Internet, it seems mspgcc-20070216 is buggy.

I got the kit yesterday and I will give it a try with Code Composer Essentials v3 - Free 16KB IDE http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/msp-cce430.html
It's brand new (29 Apr 2008) Very Happy
