Lab 2c – Putting the OOB back into your device
Do you want to go back and run the original Out-Of-Box (OOB) demo that came on your Launchpad board?
Unfortunately, we overwrote the Flash memory on our microcontroller as downloaded our code from the
previous couple lab exercises. In this part of the lab, we will build and reload the original demo program.
Note: sometimes the Out-Of-Box demo is also referred to as the UE (User Experience) demo.
1. Import OOB demo project.
As part of the workshop files, we already placed a copy of the project used to build the
original Launchpad demo into the lab_02c_oob folder.
Project Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project
C:\msp430_workshop\<target>\lab_02c_oob\CCS\
Browse to the lab_02c_oob folder for your target and import the project.
Note, this project was obtained from the Launchpad’s webpage: ti.com/msp-exp430f5529lp
2. Click the easy debug button to build, launch the debugger, and load the program to flash.
Ignore any warnings. In this lab, we’re not that interested in running the code within the
debugger, rather we’re just using the debug button as an easy way to program our device
with the demo program. Later labs will explore the various features on display in the demos.
3. Terminate the debugger and close the project. (You can run it within the debugger, but
running it outside the debugger ‘proves’ the program is actually in Flash memory.)
4. Unplug the Launchpad from your PC and plug it back in.
This runs the original demo that was just re-programmed into Flash. (We unplugged from
Windows to get Windows to recognize the memory-stick (MSC) feature of the demo program.
(You can refer back to lab_01_oob if you have questions.)
