I would like to be able to have a basic OS and a basic file system for the high end MSP430 probably the MSP430F5438. I know I can go with something like FreeRTOS , IAR PowerPac or Micrium to name just some of the options for the OS and file system. However I would like to be able to also have the ability to load little applets or threads at a latter time ideally getting this extra code off of the file system. My goal is not to have to reflash the entire device to change or implement a function on the embedded device. Not sure where to head to implement this ability or if I need to switch to another processor like an ARM.
Embedded Applications with MSP430 MCUs As a low-power MCU with multiple operating modes, the MSP430 is useful in a range of embedded computing applications. Ideal applications for MSP430 MCUs range from industrial devices to automotive and IoT products with low compute requirements.
Well, MSP stands for Mixed Signal Processing. There are three types of signal processing techniques we generally deal with, namely, Analog signal processing, Digital signal processing and Mixed signal processing. Thus, the MSP430 family supports Mixed Signal Processing, making your tasks easier.
Create C programs for a microcontroller using inputs/outputs, timers, analog-to-digital converters, comm ports, and LCD. Program microcontrollers with the C programming language.
The MSP430 is a 16-bit microcontroller that has a number of special features not commonly available with other microcontrollers: - Complete system on-a-chip — includes LCD control, ADC, I/O ports, ROM, RAM, basic timer, watchdog timer, UART, etc.
The MSP430 is a great controller, but if you want to run an OS, and load apps without burning them to flash, you should probably switch to ARM (another great platform with many ARM based microcontrollers).
