Energia
Energia is a simple, open-source, and community-driven code editor that is based on the
and
framework. Energia provides unmatched ease of use through very high-level APIs that can be
used across hardware platforms. Energia is a lightweight IDE that does not have the full feature set of
Code Composer Studio IDE or IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. However, Energia is great for anyone who
wants to get started very quickly or who does not have significant coding experience.

SimpleLink MSP432 SDK, MSP430Ware Software, and TI Resource Explorer
The MSP432 device is part of the SimpleLink microcontroller (MCU) platform, which consists of Wi-Fi

low energy, Sub-1 GHz, and host MCUs. All share a common, easy-to-use development
environment with a single core software development kit (SDK) and rich tool set. A one-time integration of
the SimpleLink platform lets you add any combination of devices from the portfolio into your design. The
ultimate goal of the SimpleLink platform is to achieve 100 percent code reuse when your design
requirements change. For more information, visit
.
For the MSP430 16-bit MCUs, the MSP430Ware software package is used. MSP430Ware software is a
complete collection of libraries and tools. It includes a driver library (driverlib) graphics library (grlib), and
many other software tools. MSP430Ware software is optionally included in a Code Composer Studio IDE
installation or can be downloaded separately. IAR users must download it separately.
Both the SimpleLink MSP432 SDK and the MSP430Ware software are included in the TI Resource
Explorer for easily browsing tools, documents, examples, and more (see
).

Inside TI Resource Explorer, these examples and many more can be found and easily imported into Code
Composer Studio IDE with one click.
