MSP-EXP430FR5969 Details
The TPS23881EVM accepts the MSP-EXP430FR5969 evaluation module when the application requires
management of the TPS23881 devices with an external controller.
1. Install MSP-EXP430FR5969 onto BOOST-PSEMTHR-007 and ensure that the USB2ANY ribbon cable
is NOT installed into J2.
2. Connect the PC to the LaunchPad as shown in
3. The source code was developed for the MSP430 LaunchPad Development Kit (MSP-
EXP430GFR5969) using the Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) version 7.2.0 development environment.
The target MSP430 can be programmed within this environment.
4. Once CCS is installed, use the basic set of instructions listed in
to import, build, and run
the project. CCS version 7.2.0 is used in the following examples. Note that a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal or Teraterm is required to view the output from the EVM when it is running.
