====== MSP430 ======

The MSP430 microcontroller series has a few features that make it popular in intermittent/batteryless applications:

  * **Widely used** in both batteryless and standard applications, which makes finding tools and support relatively easy
  * **Low power draw** with configurable low power modes, important in the low power environments of most intermittent devices
  * Some MSP430 boards (usually MSP430FRx) come with **FRAM**, [[introduction:non-volatile_memory|non-volatile storage]] that is critical to maintaining state and data through the regular power losses of intermittent devices.

===== Resources =====

==== Programming ====

  * [[https://energia.nu/|Energia]] --- Energia is a Arduino clone for the MSP430. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since 2019. So, expect some issues.
===== General Information =====

The following information is applicable to either all MSP430 boards, or a general subcategory of those boards (e.g. MSP430FRx).
