GRACE MSP430 Software

For more information, visit the Grace Wiki

- Fully harness MSP430 MCUs integrated analog and digital peripherals with Grace Software
Enable and configure ADCs, DACs, timers, clocks, serial communication interfaces and more, by interacting with buttons, drop-down menus, and text fields. Navigate through the MSP430 MCUs highly integrated peripheral set with ease.

- Grace software supports all MSP430F2xx and G2xx Value Line MCU devices
This means it supports the MSP430 MCUs most popular tools such as MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad, eZ430-F2013, eZ430-RF2500 and other tool kits.

Specific MSP430 devices supported in the latest release are:

  • MSP430G2xx1 Value Line
  • MSP430G2xx2 Value Line
  • MSP430G2xx3 Value Line
  • MSP430F20xx Devices
  • MSP430F21x1 Devices
  • MSP430F21x2 Devices
  • MSP430F22x2 Devices
  • MSP430F22x4 Devices
  • MSP430F23x0 Devices
  • MSP430F23x/F24x/F24x1/F2410 Devices
  • MSP430F24xx/F26xx Devices

- Seamless integration into TI's eclipse-based Code Composer Studio software
Grace software generates easy-to-understand C code, which is directly inserted into your active project. This seamless integration into the integrated development environment (IDE) allows the Grace generated code to be debugged and downloaded into your MSP430 microcontroller just as if it was handwritten.

Features
  • GUI-based configuration tool for setting up ADCs, OpAmps, Timers, Clocks, GPIO, Comparators, Serial Communication, and other MSP430 peripherals.
  • Generates easy-to-understand C code that properly configures your device
  • Compatible with LaunchPad and most eZ430 tools
  • Grace tooltips offer helpful popups and hints for properly configuring your MSP430 device
  • Grace provides a Basic, Power User, and Register-level view offering different levels of abstraction for setting up your peripherals.
  • As a free CCS plug-in, Grace seamlessly integrates into the MSP430 tool chain and development process
  • Minimizes any configuration conflicts or collisions between multiple peripherals

Install Instructions:

There are several options for getting Grace, which are available in the table below!

OPTION 1 (Recommended) - Get the latest version of CCSv5! - GRACE-FREE

  • Grace is a pre-installed plugin in CCS version 5.1 and later and is included by default with the MSP430 package. If you don't have it already, download and install Code Composer Studio 5. Grace examples are included inside the MSP430Ware resource package. You can check which version of Grace you have by finding the Grace icon in the Help->About Code Composer Studio menu in CCS.

  • If you have an exisiting installation of CCSv5.1 and you are missing the Grace installation or want to install MSP430Ware for the examples: Please run the latest CCS installer again and select the components you want to have installed. You can also use the Install new software function of Eclipse.

OPTION 2 - Grace Standalone Tool - GRACE
  • For those developing in development environments other than CCS, a standalone version of Grace is also provided, and can be downloaded & installed within the table below, labelled “GRACE”.

LEGACY - For those using Code Composer Studio 4.2 - GRACE-CCSV4
  • We recommend that users use the latest version of CCSv5. However, for users still using Code Composer Studio version 4.2, you can download the Grace 1.0 installer package in the table below, labelled “GRACE-CCSV4. Please note that Grace 1.0 needs CCS 4.2 to work properly! Other versions of CCS are not supported. We highly recommend updating to the latest version of CCS as this version is deprecated.
