hey i'm doing a college project on interfacing a microcontroller with a gps receiver using the MSP430. i have a avr programmer. do i necessarily need a dedicated programmer for MSP430 or i can program it in an alternative way??
 

You need to have a dedicated programmer for MSP430. I don't think you can use a avr programmer. You need to have either a paralllel port or USB Flash Emulation tool for MSP430. And use either Code Composer Studio or IAR software. You can find more information regarding MSP430 from TI website.
 

Hello!

Launchpad is an option if… you use another processor than Launchpad's CPU.
You can use Launcgpad as a programmer for another CPU of the F2x series.
Otherwise, you will be stuck with 128 bytes RAM and 2k flash.
And keep in mind that you cannot use all the RAM, you have to leave some
room for the stack.
If you interface a MSP430 and a GPS, I suppose you will need at least
one LCD to do something with the data, and possibly one SD card.
In this case, you will need 512 bytes for the SD card access. Then if you
want to implement a FAT, you will need a few hundreds bytes for data
and tables management.
Here is **broken link removed** with MSP430.

Hi friend,
for IDE you can go for IAR workbench, its freely available in TI website, if u gonna design your own board, then better buy FET (Field Emulation Tool), with its help u can download the programs through JTAG.
 

Dear All,

I have an enquiry about the IDE downloaded from the TI.
Is the IDE a full version one or it has some limitations???

Can anyone give me the details.

I think IAR is better than Code Composer Essentials.
