MSP432P401R SimpleLink™ Microcontroller LaunchPad™ Development Kit
(MSP
‑
EXP432P401R)
4.1.5 IAR Embedded Workbench
®
for ARM IDE
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM IDE is another very powerful integrated development environment
that allows you to develop and manage complete embedded application projects. It integrates the IAR
C/C++ Compiler, IAR Assembler, IAR ILINK Linker, editor, project manager, command line build utility,
and IAR C-SPY Debugger.
NOTE: The MSP432 LaunchPad development kit requires the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM
IDE Version 7.10 or later. See the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 7.x for SimpleLink™
MSP432™ Microcontrollers User's Guide for detailed instructions of using the IDE with
MSP432. To use the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK, IAR Version 7.80.3 or later is required.

workbench/arm.
4.1.6 Energia
Energia is a simple open-source community-driven code editor that is based on the Wiring and Arduino
framework. Energia provides unmatched ease of use through very-high-level APIs that can be used
across hardware platforms. Energia is a light-weight IDE that does not have the full feature set of CCS,
Keil, or IAR. However, Energia is great for anyone who wants to get started very quickly or who does not
have significant coding experience.

4.3 SimpleLink SDK and TI Resource Explorer
TI Resource explorer is a tool integrated into CCS that allows you to browse through available design
resources. TI Resource Explorer will help you quickly find what you need inside packages including
SimpleLink SDK for the SimpleLink MCUs such as MSP432, CC3200, CC2640, and more. TI Resource
Explorer is well organized to find everything that you need quickly, and you can import software projects
into your workspace, find documentation, and browse libraries in your workspace in just a few clicks.
TI Resource Explorer Cloud is one of the TI Cloud Development tools and is tightly integrated with CCS
Cloud. See Section 4.1.2 for more information.
The SimpleLink SDK is a collection of code examples, software libraries, data sheets, and other design
resources for all SimpleLink MCU devices delivered in a convenient package – essentially everything
developers need to become SimpleLink experts.
The SimpleLink MCU portfolio offers a single development environment that delivers flexible hardware,
software, and tool options for customers developing wired and wireless applications. With an ultimate goal
of 100 percent code reuse across host MCUs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth low energy, Sub-1 GHz devices, and
more, choose the MCU or connectivity standard that fits your design. A one-time investment with the
SimpleLink software development kit (SDK) lets you reuse often, opening the door to create unlimited
applications. For more information, visit ww.ti.com/simplelink.
