MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad

The MSP-EXP430FR4133 LaunchPad™ Development Kit is an easy-to-use Evaluation Module (EVM) for the MSP430FR4133 microcontroller (see Figure 1). It contains everything needed to start developing on the MSP430™ ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM-based microcontroller (MCU) platform, including on-board emulation for programming, debugging, and energy measurements. The board features on-board buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface and a liquid crystal display (LCD) that showcases the integrated driver with flexible software-configurable pins.

The MSP430FR4133 device features embedded FRAM (ferroelectric random access memory), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and high-speed write access. Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack™ Plug-in Module headers, which support a wide range of available BoosterPacks. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. Design your own BoosterPack or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers. Free software development tools are also available, including TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ (CCSTUDIO) and IAR Embedded Workbench® IAR-KICKSTART. Both of these integrated development environments (IDEs) support EnergyTrace™ technology when paired with the MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad.
