About This Manual
This manual describes the use of IAR Embedded Workbench (EW430) with the MSP430 ultra-low-power
microcontrollers.
How to Use This Manual
Read and follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Get Started Now!. This chapter provides instructions on
installing the software, and describes how to run the demonstration programs. After you see how quick
and easy it is to use the development tools, TI recommends that you read all of this manual.
This manual describes only the setup and basic operation of the software development environment, but it
does not fully describe the MSP430 or the complete development software and hardware systems. For
details of these items, see the appropriate TI and IAR™ documents listed in Related Documentation From
Texas Instruments, Important MSP430 Documents on the CD-ROM and Web.
This manual applies to the use with Texas Instruments' MSP-FET430UIF, MSP-FET430PIF and eZ430
development tools series.
These tools contain the most up-to-date materials available at the time of packaging. For the latest
materials (data sheets, user's guides, software, application information, etc.), visit the TI MSP430 web site
at www.ti.com/msp430, or contact your local TI sales office.
