  • Hi Shawn,

     

    Just watched the video and it looks a pretty clever piece of software. I've pasted the YouTube version below

    This is a very useful tool.  Similar to the CodeVisionAVR-CodeWizardAVR tool.

  • Information to everyone... TI abandoned graphical configuration tool. The only way to configure MSP430 is to read datasheets...  It hard, it is stupid. But  this is TI decision.

    I like STM32Cube idea, when not only init is created, but there is HAL and other libraries. It takes half hour to create some USB to something device without reading much of documentation.

    I wish that Grace could evolve to something better... but life is life.
