Developing 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.

For those who are interested I have used Sharp Memory LCDs (with the XL Star) and have used FRAM based MSP430s and find both very capable.
The LCD memory is write only meaning that one needs to manage the…
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…
Couldn't find them on the farnell site (maybe I didn't know what to look for), as for booster packs - I have no use for testing them if I can't easily source the LCDs themselves.
