Description

MSP430G2553 is a low-cost 16-bit ultra-low-power MCU from Texas-Instruments with 10bit ADC, I2C, UART, and PWM functionalities. To program the MCU you'll have to buy MSP430 Launchpad from TI with Flash Emulation Tool (FET) built-in and there is no other Dev-Board available in the market other than the MSP430 Launchpad. Upside Down Labs has created a tool called msptool based on mspdebug using which you can program the MSP430 chip with any generic USB-UART bridge. MSP430 Breadstick development board is an affordable Dev-Board from Upside Down Labs which uses the msptool and allows you to program MSP430G2553 through BSL using generic USB-UART, CH340C is used in the Cheese Dip variant of the board.

Details

MSP430 Breadsetick uses msptool for flashing and its programming can be done with Energia, CCS, and Platform IO. It comes with a lot of functionalities, A detailed pinout diagram is shown below for the same.
