IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 IDE
IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 is another powerful integrated development environment that lets
you 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.

IAR v7.12.1 or higher is required for this development kit. To open the demo in IAR, click
File>Open>Workspace…, and browse to the *.eww workspace file inside the \IAR subdirectory of the
desired demo. All workspace information is contained within this file.
The subdirectory also has an *.ewp project file. This file can be opened into an existing workspace by
clicking Project>Add-Existing-Project….
Although the software examples have all of the code required to run them, IAR users can download and
install MSP430Ware, which contains MSP430 libraries and the TI Resource Explorer. These are already
included in a CCS installation (unless the user selected otherwise).

MSP430Ware 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
MSP430Ware, ControlSuite, TivaWare and more. TI Resource Explorer is well organized to find
everything that you need quickly, and you can import software projects into your workspace in one click.
TI Resource Explorer Cloud is one of the TI Cloud Development tools, and is tightly integrated with CCS
Cloud. See
for more information.
MSP430Ware is a collection of code examples, software libraries, data sheets and other design resources
for all MSP430 devices delivered in a convenient package – essentially everything developers need to
become MSP experts.
In addition to providing a complete collection of existing MSP430 design resources, MSP430Ware also
includes a high-level API called MSP Driver Library. This library makes it easy to talk to MSP430
hardware. For more information, visit
