 Dimensions: 53.3mm x 55.9mm (2.1'' x 2.2")

1.2 Target market and purpose of the board

OLIMEXINO-5510 is intended to work with Energia - an Arduino-like IDE for MSP430. The community is working on adding full support for Energia. At the time of writing this manual such support isn't fully added but it is on the way. When such support is implemented there will be software examples below in Energia format.

OLIMEXINO-5510 was specially designed for the EasyMSP project which is created by Matthew

Page 5 of 29

Burmeister (a.k.a. MattTheGeek from 43oh.com). Matt did amazing work by creating Arduino-like language and commands to compile with MSP430 hardware just adding these in header files, so they compile with MSPGCC. However, personal problems restrained Matthew to finish the project he started. That is why Energia is the now default and recommended development environment.

The target market are the MSP430 fans and electronics beginners. People with better understanding of software than hardware. Arduino platform fans.

1.3 Organization

Each section in this document covers a separate topic, organized as follow:

– Chapter 1 is an overview of the board usage and features

– Chapter 2 provides a guide for quickly setting up the board and software notes

– Chapter 3 contains the general board diagram and layout

– Chapter 4 describes the component that is the heart of the board: the OLIMEXINO-5510

microcontroller

– Chapter 5 is an explanation of the control circuitry associated with the microcontroller to

reset. Also shows the clocks on the board

– Chapter 6 covers the connector pinout, peripherals and jumper description

– Chapter 7 shows the memory map

– Chapter 8 provides the schematics

– Chapter 9 contains the revision history, useful links and support information

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP THE OLIMEXINO-5510 BOARD

2. Introduction to the chapter

This section helps you set up the OLIMEXINO-5510 development board for the first time. Please consider first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the hardware and software required to operate the board.

The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior is detailed.

2.1 Electrostatic warning

OLIMEXINO-5510 is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must not be exposed to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.

2.3 Hardware requirements

In order to set up the OLIMEXINO-5510 optimally, the following items are required:

1) mini USB cable for using Energia IDE or EasyMSP

We have tested the USB cables we sell and they have good

2) JTAG/SBW (Spy-Bi-Wire) MSP430 compatible programmer - for custom programming

We offer three low-cost products capable of programming the board (of course any JTAG/SBWcompatible programmer you might already own would do the job):

MSP430-JTAG-ISO-MK2 – our best MSP430 programmer, featuring LCD display, SD card and stand-alone mode of programming: https://www.olimex.com/Products/MSP430/JTAG/MSP430-

JTAG-ISO-MK2/

MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 – standalone programmer:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/MSP430/JTAG/MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2/

Notice our MSP programmers work with a free flash software we distribute and are compatible with

Page 7 of 29

all IDEs based on the original Texas Instruments MSP430.dll.

Additional components and extension boards (not required for basic operation!):

- 3.7V lithium-polymer battery

You gain mobility and back-up. The battery can be recharged when plugged to OLIMEXINO-5510 because of the built-in charger circuit (which also has the option to be disconnected via jumper). Our offer is: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Power/BATTERY-LIPO1400mAh/.

- Shields

Some of the shields we sell for our Arduino boards can be found here:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/Duino/Shields/

- UEXT expansion boards

All OLIMEX boards which names start with MOD, are compatible with the UEXT interface. Notice that there is multiplexing between the Arduino platform connector (for the shields) and the UEXT. You can't use two devices with SPI communication at the same time.

2.5 Powering the board and operating modes

The board is powered either via the mini USB or via the 3.7V_LI_BAT connector or via the SBW interface.

The board can be programmed in three ways:

1) as a general purpose board via the SBW.

2) by the BSL (BootStrap Loader) bootloder by MSP430

When powered the red power LED should turn on. By default the green LED near the battery connector should start blinking if used in debugger/general mode.

To enter BSL mode hold USB_BSL and power the board. Or while the board is powered hold USB_BSL down then press RESET and then release USB_BSL. If the board is started in BSL mode the green LED should remain off.

2.6 Prebuilt software and bootloader

The prebuilt software is a bootloader and a simple LEDs and buttons test. When you power the board initially all LEDs will be on. If you press and hold the B1 button LED2 should start blinking. If you press and hold WAKE_UP button LED1 should start blinking. Upon releasing the buttons the LEDs should return to their initial “always on” state.

2.7 EasyMSP and Energia

The Energia web site and repository may be found at the following web addresses:
