content: Quote from: neslekkimThat's great! Just wanted to confirm your meaning, as I have a MSP432P401R board in-hand (from a previous purchase). You're saying that theMSP430G2-Code-Composer-Studio-Promotion license will support the MSP432P401R board, too?Thanks again!

content: According to this, I believe so:http://43oh.com/2016/09/free-code-composer-studio-license-with-a-launchpad-g2-purchase/Funny enough, I bought the red msp432 board at the same time, just to find out it was out of stock (well, they send it later), the msp430 I also got an delivery date of mid-october, but according to the order status, its shipped, and comes to my door tomorrow.

content: The compiler's price tag of $495 is grossly inflated. You can always download gcc in place of the TI compiler, in case you are not aware.having said that, a superb compiler for two cups of coffee isn't a bad deal.

content: Does TI actually have their own ARM compiler, or does CCS re-package gcc (or someone else's)?(I know that the MPS430 CCS compiler is different than the MSP430 gcc.)

content: I was finally able to order. The Launchpad itself was listed as out of stock but it let me put the order in anyway. I've already received the software activation e-mail but the Launchpad hasn't shipped. The MSP430G2 Launchpad I had ordered earlier this week arrived the next day by Fedex from US to Canada. I'm sure the shipping itself must have cost them more than the $9.99 than I paid (shipping was free to me).

content: They may be buggy, but the black ones look cooler. That's what really matters. ;-)Back when TI were a bit more generous with the samples it was easy to upgrade the microcontroller on a Launchpad.

content: Quote from: Fred27 on September 17, 2016, 11:50:34 amTI is still very generous with samples. You can get 5 free MSP432P401RIPZR chips any time you want, although it seems like a challenge to swap them.
