# MSP Debug

The MSP debug stack (MSPDS) for all MSP430™ microcontrollers (MCUs) and SimpleLink™ MSP432™ devices consists of a static library on the host system side as well as an embedded firmware that runs on debug tools including the MSP-FET, MSP-FET430UIF or on-board eZ debuggers. It is the bridging element between all PC software and all MSP430 and SimpleLink MSP432 microcontroller derivatives and handles tasks such as code download, stepping through code or break points. Official reference can be found here.

## Configuration

You can configure debugging tool using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

    [env:myenv]
    platform = ...
    board = ...
    debug_tool = mspdebug

If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change upload protocol:

    [env:myenv]
    platform = ...
    board = ...
    debug_tool = mspdebug
    upload_protocol = mspdebug

More options:

- Debugging options

- Upload options

## Drivers

Windows

  Please “USB Driver Installation” guide for your board.

Mac

  Not required.

Linux

  Please install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules. If you already installed them before, please check that your rules are up-to-date or repeat steps.

## Platforms

Name | Description
--- | ---
TI MSP430 | MSP430 microcontrollers (MCUs) from Texas Instruments (TI) are 16-bit, RISC-based, mixed-signal processors designed for ultra-low power. These MCUs offer the lowest power consumption and the perfect mix of integrated peripherals for thousands of applications.

## Frameworks

Name | Description
--- | ---
Arduino | Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences.
