A Reference to the MSP430 Development Boards

I have now amassed quite a few LaunchPad and EZ430-F2013 development boards from Texas Instruments.

At base these boards seem to do substantively the same thing, just in different form factors. The bundled microcontrollers also appear to have similar capabilities, differing only in terms of certain peripherals.

Add to this the long names these micros have and it becomes a little confusing to remember the capabilities each has. So here is my little cheat sheet:

LaunchPad comes with:

  • MSP430G2211IN14: 2kB Flash, 128B RAM, 10 GPIO, 1x 16-bit timer, WDT, BOR, Comparator A+.

  • MSP430G2231IN14: 2kB Flash, 128B RAM, 10 GPIO, 1x 16-bit timer, WDT, BOR, 1x USI (I2C/SPI), 8ch 10-bit ADC

EZ430-F2013 - MSP430 USB Stick Development Tool comes with:

  • MSP430F2013: 2kB Flash, 128B RAM, 10 GPIO, 16-Bit Sigma-Delta A/D, USI for SPI/I2C.

  • MSP430F2012 (from the 3x target board kit, sold separately) : 2kB Flash, 128B RAM, 10 GPIO, 10-Bit SAR A/D, USI for SPI/I2C.
