    I am Road Testing the TI MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad Kit w/ Sharp LCD.

    When I try to download Code Composer Studio it asks for an activation code.

    Where can I find this activation code?

    My Launchpad did not come with LCD demo firmware installed. I understand the LCD demo code is larger than the eval version of CCS can handle, can I still program the demo into my Launchpad.

    Thanks,

    Doug

    TI did get back to me and patiently explained how to progress through 3 consecutive roadblocks I ran into loading the demo firmware.

    Thanks TI.

    Now I can get started on the real CCS learning curve.

    There are demo's also with the Energia IDE that works on the Sharp96

     

    for Code composer, you can choose the free licence, it should compile as the code amounts to 14K and the limit is 16K, that is really your only choice that does not involve buying the license which is not cheap, it should I believe also allow you 30Days of no limit if your still able to pick the evaluation license

     

    See this

    MSP430: Loading complete. There were 14828 (code) and 16 (data) bytes written to FLASH. The expected RAM usage is 4637 (uninitialized data + stack) bytes.

     

    this is the MSP-EXP430FR5969_Grlib_Example code base as shown on my video here : SHARP96 LCD Library Compare

     

    hope this helps
