Introduction
The 24-MHz MSP430FR2355 device features 32KB of embedded FRAM (ferroelectric random access
memory), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and high speed write
access. Combined with 4KB of on-chip RAM, users have access to 32KB of memory to split between their
program and data as required. For example, a data logging application may require a large data memory
with relatively small program memory, so the memory may be allocated as required between program and
data memory.
Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 40-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers, which support a wide
range of available BoosterPack plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity,
graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. Design your own BoosterPack plug-in module
or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers.
Free software development tools are also available, such as
IDE (CCS)
and
IAR Embedded Workbench
for real-time power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad
development kit.

First Steps: Out-of-Box Experience
An easy way to get started with the EVM is by using its preprogrammed out-of-box code. It demonstrates
some key features of the EVM.
1.4.1
Connecting to the Computer
Connect the LaunchPad development kit using the included USB cable to a computer. A green power LED
should illuminate. For proper operation, drivers are needed. TI recommends that you get the drivers by
installing an IDE such as TI's CCS or IAR EW430. Drivers are also available at www.ti.com/MSPdrivers.
