TI MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad Evaluation KitDeveloping with the MSP430FR5969 Family is now enabled by the LaunchPad ecosystem.
The MSP-BNDL-FR5969LCD LaunchPad development kit is based on the first device in the MSP430 ULP FRAM platform – the MSP430FR5969 device. The MSP430FR5969 device features embedded FRAM, a non-volatile memory known for its low power, high endurance and high speed write access. The benefits of FRAM and the ultra-low power features of this kit can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from metering and consumer electronics to unconventionally powered sensors. This bundle of the MSP-EXP430FR5969 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit with 430BOOST-SHARP96 LCD Display BoosterPack contains everything needed to start developing on a MSP430 FRAM Technology platform, including on-board emulation for programming and debugging. The board features on-board buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface as well as a SuperCap allowing standalone RTC operation without an external power supply.
The out-of-box experience provided with the MSP-BNDL-FR5969LCD uses the MSP-EXP430FR5969 LaunchPad and the 430BOOST-SHARP96 LCD BoosterPack. The display enables a great user experience and allows developers to more easily model their end application. One example enables the LaunchPad to run in low power modes for up to 20 hours without an external power supply. Free software development tools are also available, such as TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio and IAR Embedded Workbench.

  • Received the kit today image

  • I'm sure it will be there soon, be patient

  • Hey anybody got the kit??? I'm still waiting for mine image

  • you can make a gameboy or something like it my lcd screen is no good this would be a good job for it

  • Indeed they are, Best of luck to those who Got the kit image I bought an LCD Display and it's really Awesome the only -ve fact for the LCD is that it Doesn't have memory to store the pixel data, so everything has to be done in RAM and then transfered to DIsplay

  • Those Sharp displays are awesome, I deliberately unplugged one from the launchpad while it had content on the display, it was over 5 minutes before it had dissipated. so if your content does not change much, you can save massive amounts of power by turning off the power or at least setting everything in to sleep mode for a while

  • Thanks a lot for selecting my entry,

     

    This would be the lowest power project that I have ever built.

     

    Warm Regards,

  • Congrats everyone, your in for a treat as these devices are fun and simple to use

     

    And if you want to try stuff not in the box as they say (Out of the BOX) then keep an eye on the Electronic Referee blog as I am using the same devices there for my summer project. Feel free to use anything you find in the posts to help you on your merry way. I look forward to your reviews

    I am currently using Energia to code and pairing the LCD with 1/2 dozen different boards (Ish)
