MSPWare and TI Resource Explorer

TI Resource Explorer is a tool integrated into CCS that allows you to browse through available design

resources. TI Resource Explorer will help you quickly find what you need inside packages including

MSPWare, ControlSuite™ libraries, TivaWare™ software, and more. TI Resource Explorer is well

organized to find everything that you need quickly, and you can import software projects into your

workspace in one click.

TI Resource Explorer Cloud is one of the TI Cloud Development tools, and is tightly integrated with CCS

Cloud. See Section 4.1.1 for more information.

MSPWare is a collection of code examples, software libraries, data sheets and other design resources for

all MSP430 MCUs delivered in a convenient package – essentially everything developers need to become

MSP experts.

In addition to providing a complete collection of existing MSP design resources, MSPWare also includes a

high level API called MSP Driver Library. This library makes it easy to talk to MSP hardware. More

information can be found at http://www.ti.com/tool/mspware.
