Lab 1 - Introduction to Code Composer Studio and MSP430
This Lab will focus on introducing the Code Composer Studio Integrated Development
Environment. Code Composer Studio is an integrated development environment which
includes a compiler, assembler, programming and debugging tools. The debugging tool
allows you to pin point errors in your assembly language or C code. For instance, you
can view the state of the chip (contents of registers and memory locations) as you
single-step through the program. During this lab, we will also start getting a feel for the
architecture, registers and memory model of the MPS430.
TutoriaI and Background
You will not have to write a program in this first lab - but rather prove that you can
assemble and debug a simple assemble program. The purpose of this lab is to perform
and demonstrate the steps of this Code Composer tutoriaI for the TA.
The tutorial program was developed to explore the debugging capabilities of the CCS
and to illustrate concepts about the MSP430 architecture. Not very interesting as a
program. Run this program for something slightly more entertaining. The rest of the
labs will become increasingly more interesting - so bear with us.

Lab Specification
Assemble and debug the program described in the Code Composer tutorial.
TA Demonstration
Show the TA your functional board and demonstrate basic debugging steps. 20% credit
for a functional board and 80% credit for correct answers about the assembly and
debugging processes. You will be expected to explain every step for full credit.
