MSP432P401R LaunchPad测评--01：开箱与测试

最近参加bbs.21ic.com论坛的活动获取一块TI原装正版的432Launpad开发板。今天拿到开发板了，迫不及待的拆开把玩。开箱图片如下

根据开发板上印刷的文字，可以知道该开发板为MSP432LaunchPad家族中的第一版，V1.0，在官网搜索，目前官网提供的最新版为1.9版本，红色版本。

为了更好的体验该开发板，我特意下载了之前的MSP432 ware。该开发资料包提供了针对该开发板的全套资料与开箱测试软件。

找到如下目录

MSP432Ware_3_50_00_02\examples\boards\MSP-EXP432P401R\MSP-EXP432P401R_Software_Examples\GUI\Binary\OutOfBox_MSP432P401R_GUI

打开里面的readme.txt可以查看到该上位机使用的说明。

使用开发板自带的MicroUSB数据线，连接电脑和开发板。启动该目录下软件，按照说明操作。

点击不同的颜色，会发现开发板上那个一闪一闪的LED颜色跟着变化了。默认是红色。

提供的测试固件烧录方式

找到如下目录

\MSP432Ware_3_50_00_02\examples\boards\MSP-EXP432P401R\MSP-EXP432P401R_Software_Examples\Firmware\Binary

内容如上图所示。其中有一个DSLite，这个是提供的烧录工具，非常非常方便，可以不用CCS就可以用这个小工具实现烧录.out到开发板。

接下来打开最下面这个文件夹OutOfBox_MSP432P401R

里面有两个文件：OUT与bat批处理文件。

其中out文件为提供的固件，与出厂自带的固件是一样的。所以如果不用的时候想恢复出厂就可以使用这个固件恢复。

接下来用文本浏览工具打开批处理文件。

set rootDir=%~dp0

set DSLite="%rootDir%..\DSLite\DebugServer\bin\DSLite.exe"

set targetconfig="%rootDir%..\DSLite\MSP432P401R.ccxml"

set firmware="%rootDir%OutOfBox_MSP432P401R.out"



@echo Programing %firmware% into %device% ......

%DSLite% flash -l -v -c %targetconfig% -f %firmware%



pause

以上内容为该批处理内容，可以看出来描述了使用哪个工具，和什么配置文件，以及烧录的固件。

只要运行该批处理就会执行烧录任务。非常简单，完美的脱离了CCS庞大的软件，所以，开发的固件，如果需要发给客户，可以按这种方式提供给客户，方便烧录。

以管理员身份运行该批处理一般会出现如下内容：
