MSP430ware (DriverLib)
MSP430ware (DriverLib)
MSP430ware is a bundle of Libraries, Examples and Tools supporting the MSP430 family of
microcontrollers. To simplify the installation of all these elements, they have been bundled
together into a single (.exe) file.
Installing MSP430ware
When installing Code Composer Studio, if you choose to include MSP430 support (or choose to
install everything), MSP430ware will be installed by the CCS installer. In this case, you will find
MSP430ware along the path:
C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\msp430\msp430ware_1_40_01_44\
The path above assumes that you installed CCS to “C:\ti”. Also, the revision numbers
(e.g. _1_40_01_44) will depend upon which revision of MSP430ware was available when that
CCS installation file was created.
On the other hand, you can download and install MSP430ware directly from the TI website. You
might choose to do this, for example, when a new version of MSP430ware is released. (In fact,
this is what the installation instructions for this workshop direct you to do.) When installing
MSP430ware in this way, the default path will be slightly different:
C:\ti\msp430\MSP430ware_1_60_02_09\
Note, you can usually get the updated version of MSP430ware by using the auto-updates feature of CCS,
but we preferred to use the more explicit approach in our workshops because sometimes we don’t have
internet access at our workshop locations.
