Starter Kits: Programmer + Target Board + IDE

Starter Kits come with everything required to complete an entire project including a target board, USB debugging and programming interface, free IDE software, MSP430 samples, and cables. Most target boards include a socket for a specific package and pin count.  Please double check the recommended tool for the device you intent to use on the device's web page.

FET430F6137RF900

top

The FET430F6137RF900 is a complete wireless development tool for the CC430 that includes all the hardware required to develop an entire wireless project. The sample kit includes two sub-1GHz wireless target boards (including antennas) featuring the highly integrated XCC430F6137IRGC RF System-on-chip. Projects may be developed and instantly deployed using the included batteries.

Note: the current version (v3.1) of the tool supports 868/915 MHz operation only.

The CC430 integrates the latest MSP430F5xx core (which combines 25 MHz performance with a 200-ksps 12-bit ADC, AES hardware security module and a 96 segment LCD driver) with theCC1101 multi-channel RF transceiver designed for low-power wireless applications.

The EM430F6137RF900 board development included in this kit supports all CC430F613x and CC430F612x flash parts in the 64-pin QFN (RGC) package. It also supports software development for the CC430F513x parts (48-pin QFN (RGZ) package).

The SimpliciTI software stack (a proprietary low-power star network stack) for the CC430 will also be made available to interested developers, enabling robust wireless networks out of the box

Disclaimers
  • The EM430F6137RF900 v3.1 is not currently designed to pass regulatory radiation/emission tests
  • The EM430F6137RF900 is currently shipped with XCC430F6137 experimental silicon
  • The EM430F6137RF900 is subject to export control regulations and restrictions
  • Please review the relevant datasheet and errata sheet for the XCC430F6137 silicon prior to use

A separate debugging and programming interface is required to work with the EM430F6137RF900.  A flash emulation tool (FET) may be purchased independently (MSP-FET430UIF) or bundled with the EM430F6137RF900 (FET430F6137RF900).
