1.3 TI's Approach for MSP430 USB

The TI MSP430 USB Developers Package provides a solution intended to be simple and accessible for a broad range of customers. At the same time, it maintains the design flexibility that professional USB applications need.

Development is aided by the MSP430 USB Descriptor Tool, a code generation tool that handles most of the USB-related customization for your application. The Tool contains contextual help that aids you in making your decisions. Example code and detailed reference guides help point the way. If you have a problem these cannot solve, the TI E2E™ community forums and other non-TI MSP430 forums are available to help.

TI also welcomes the ecosystem of USB consultants, middleware, and community solutions, and supports their continued contribution. They enlarge the base of possibilities for MSP430 customers, both for those using the MSP430 USB Developers Package and for those preferring to outsource USB design.
