GainSpan designs a new Wi-Fi reference design code for TI MSP430

Published:2012/4/26 3:19:00 Author:Ecco From:SeekIC

The engineers of the GainSpan have designed the low-power embeed Wi-Fi connectivity for the Internet of Things. And they’ve introduced reference design code for Texas Instruments’ MSP430.

Now, customers can easily use MSP430-based products to add GainSpan low power Wi-Fi connectivity. They use advanced networking features and capabilities not readily available with other Wi-Fi modules such as enterprise security, embedded DHCP, DNS and HTTP (S) servers. However, the reference design significantly reduces the development time to add Wi-Fi connectivity to embedded systems based upon this microcontroller (MCU). This new code makes MSP430 easily communicate with a GainSpan Wi-Fi module through a serial interface.

This code is easily portable to other host microcontrollers. The Application code includes TCP, UDP and HTTP traffic to support multiple concurrent sockets and AP functionality. With its small RAM and ROM (Flash) footprint, the MSP430 reference code can run on the most memory constrained MCUs. Even when including the drivers, UDP, TCP and multiple sockets,.0of flash and 2 Kbytes of RAM and can be used with the IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart Edition.

The new MSP430 reference design code provided by GainSpan is available now and can be downloaded from GainSpan’s Website. Customers can easily choose host interfaces, security, provisioning methods, Wi-Fi and networking features running on the modules. They also can build a customized binary for their embedded devices, without the need of an expensive compiler.
