TIDeals has the MSP-EXP430F5529 USB Experimenter’s Board on sale for $74.50 (including free International shipping) while supplies last.
The board includes the USB-enabled MSP430F5529 device, a five-button capacitive touch pad, a MicroSD slot with a 1GB card included, a 102 X 64 dot matrix LCD, four push buttons, three LEDs, and a scroll wheel/potentiometer.
No thanks this time.
What’s the point of selling a $75 kit with a processor that has 128KB of Flash memory, when the free tools supports only 16KB?
I don’t think the target audience of these special sales want to pay $$$ for the professional version of Code Composer Studio.
@Udi
You can use MSPGCC (http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/) Only potential issue is libraries.
I appreciate the 50% off deals from TI for getting their product out in the DIY world. As a DIY, I may only write code under 16K.
