MSP430-T5510 User's Manual
bootloader mode hold BOOT button and press RESET button, then release BOOT.
2.7 EasyMSP and Energia
MSP430-T5510 is intended to work with Energia - an Arduino-like IDE for MSP430. The
community is working on adding full support for Energia. At the time of writing this manual such
support isn't fully added but it is on the way. When such support is implemented there will be
software examples below in Energia format.
The Energia web site and repository may be found at the following web addresses:
http://energia.github.com/Energia/
and
https://github.com/energia/Energia/
MSP430-T5510 was initially specially designed for the EasyMSP project which is created by
Matthew Burmeister (a.k.a. MattTheGeek from 43oh.com). Matt did amazing work by creating
Arduino-like language and commands to compile with MSP430 hardware just adding these in
header files, so they compile with MSPGCC. However, personal problems restrained Matthew to
finish the project he started. That is why Energia is the now default and recommended development
environment.
EasyMSP community is at 43oh.com forum

When we learned about EasyMSP the first idea was to create custom open hardware board which to
work with EasyMSP. So we contacted Matt and asked him if he wants custom board build for his
project. This is how MSP430-T5510 was born.
So if you want to develop some hand-held or battery powered devices with USB connection to PC
MSP430-T5510 is the low cost solution for you.
The software for the boards is released under General Purpose License.
