Hello, I got TI's msp430f149 development board that comes with the JTAG interface, a ZIF socket for the QFP64 chips and a lose 32.768 kHz crystal. Has anyone ever gotten the system up to 8 MHz using that kit? All examples I can find are utilizing a seperate 8 MHz crystal on the XT2 input.
However, the documentation states, it is possible to use the LF crystal instead and set up some registers with correct multipliers etc. to generate the 8 MHz MCLK. Unfortunately the documentation is incomprehensible to me and there is no sample code whatsoever how to set everything up. Has anyone here ever used the FLL got it up and running? I'd appreciate some documented code snippet how and which registers to set up. I already see the difficulty getting the right load capacitors set up because the shipped crystal requires 12.5 pF. I wish TI had better documentation on that clock FLL with all registered and possible settings listed in a well documented table. Cheers Jens
