MSP430FR5969

About the Device

The MSP430™ ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM (Ferromagnetic RAM) platform combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing innovators to increase performance at lowered energy budgets. FRAM technology combines the speed, flexibility, and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of flash at much lower power.

The MSP430 ULP FRAM portfolio consists of a diverse set of devices featuring FRAM, the ULP 16-bit MSP430 CPU, and intelligent peripherals targeted for various applications. The ULP architecture showcases seven low-power modes, optimized to achieve extended battery life in energy-challenged applications.

All these may attract you as an embedded design developer. And as a starter, everyone faces some challenges.

TI has provided ample support for this kit, but the support is not device specific. I faced a lots of problems in running few simple codes on the MSP430 FR5969 kit at starting. And the learning process is still on. RISC architecture of MSP430 makes it complicated to program and difficult to remember its diverse coding possibilities.

But gradually with practice one be familiar with all normally used functions of this kit. 

The programs I upload are first tested by me. The Software used and difficult conditions arisen are mentioned in the comments. Half of the solutions to our problem are mentioned in comments only. so please go through them at once.

So, lets start taking dips in the vast ocean of opportunities with MSP430 FR5969.
