The new eZ430-RF2500 is the world’s smallest complete wireless development tool. This low cost tool provides all the hardware and software needed to evaluate the MSP430 or complete an entire F22xx project. The eZ430-RF2500 includes three tiny PCB boards, one emulation board and two detachable wireless targets, connected with a 6-pin connector and encased in a USB stick case. A tiny battery expansion board and 2 AAA batteries are also included, along with the MSP430 Tools CD-ROM, for easy deployment of a wireless system. The eZ430-RF2500T target board includes an MSP430F2274, a CC2500, a 26MHz oscillator for the radio, and a small chip antenna. Additionally, two LEDs (red and green) are provided for immediate feedback and a tiny interruptible pushbutton for user interaction. Eighteen pins from the F2274 are accessible on the target board in a convenient 0.1” centered though hole header with 4 additional pins available when paired with the battery expansion board. The needed IAR KickStart Embedded Workbench IDE software and a demonstration project are provided on the included MSP430 Tools CD-ROM. IAR KickStart, as well as 100s of code examples and other support, are available for free from TI’s website. The eZ430 uses the same IAR IDE as all other MSP430s so there is nothing new to learn. Complete wireless network stacks, such as TI’s SimpliciTI network protocol, also come with the tool and provide developers a complete starting point to develop a working wireless solution out of the box.
