[General] MSP430 F5529 LaunchPad Evaluation on ENERGIA IDE

[adoniaamir]

1. Where to find out that where is the words specified for pin configuration on the Launchpad board.
Such as RED_LED, GREEN_LED. Is there any header file explaining the denotions?

2. Immediately, when the program is downloaded into the Launch Pad. The LEDS are not working, since I press the reset or bsl button which makes the leds blinks?

3. The LEDS are working in following manner: Can you tell why is it like that?

1. RED - 1 GREEN - 1

2. RED - 1 GREEN -0

3. RED - 0 GREEN -0

4. RED - 0 GREEN - 1

Hello!

I suppose you are using what they call MSP430Ware or something like that. I think if you really want
to understand MSP430, the best thing is to download the hardware files from the following page:
https://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430f5529lp
And then write your own code based on TI examples.

- Don't use the launchpad examples (MSP-EXP430F5529LP Software Examples, slac623e.zip). These
examples are based on a hardware abstraction layer. Before that, you should first understand what happens
under the abstraction layer.
- My advice: use the F55xx specific examples (without abstraction layer) that can be downloaded from TI.
The file name is SLAC300n.zip, n being the version code. Today, it's slac300h.zip.

I had a look at the hardware file. The user leds (look at sheet 2 of the schematics) are on port 4.7
and on port P1.0
If you want to blink the LEDs, you may try this one using code composer studio:
NB: I don't know which LED is green or red, so I will name them LED1 (for port 1) and LED4 (for port 4).

That's about it!

Dora.

PS: the above code has been written in EDABoard editor. I wouldn't trust my memory that much,
so there might be a few errors, but the principle is here.
