In this part we are going to create a simple project for MSP-EXP430FR5739 FRAM board. As development tools we are going to use Code Composer Studio which is free to up to 16KB Flash code size. MSP430FR5739 microcontroller has exactly 16KB of FRAM memory so we can use it all with no hustle.

Download Code Compose Studio (CCS) and install it to your PC. Then start application and go to workbench. It is Eclipse based IDE so should be no problem if you have used Eclipse before.

Programmer is one of the first things to think of when starting to deal with microcontrollers. Luckily it is not hard to build fully working programmer almost for any microcontroller as there are tons of open source projects around. So I decided to build stk500 compatible programmer which is actually taken from tuxgraphics.com. I decided not to search for same parts as in original schematics but use what’s on desk.
