NEW IDE (AQ430X) to support the newest MSP430 components(46xx, 54xx, etc…)
Overview
Quadravox, Inc. has designed development tools for embedded systems since 1996.
Archelon, Inc. has, since 1982, developed tools for microcoding and, in particular, have pioneered the implementation of standard high level languages on microprogrammed hardware, signal processor chips and other unique architectures.
Archelon and Quadravox have joined forces to develop AQ430, a new, affordable, (US$ 395.00) development tool for Texas Instruments MSP430Fxxx micro-controllers.
Quadravox now supports the
products by EMBEDDEDkits
. EMBEDDEDkits offers several bundled products which combine the
Quadravox tools and their professional-grade JTAG Interface Tool and MSP430
modules. These bundles are only available from the EMBEDDEDkits website. Click here for more
details.
Starting from version 2.0.3.9 AQ430 now supports the
SoftBaugh Replicator
.
Quadravox now offers a special edition ("SE") of Pumpkin, Inc.'s Salvo RTOS for MSP430, bundled with AQ430. The cost of this SE version is $395.00, if purchased with the AQ430 tools. You can download a free version of Salvo for MSP430 ("Lite") from here. To purchase Salvo SE from Quadravox, please use the purchase form and indicate in the appropriate field that you want to purchase Salvo SE. We will send you instructions as to how to download and unlock your Salvo software. Salvo SE comes with 3 months of support and free updates from Pumpkin, Inc., the makers of Salvo. Once you have purchased Salvo SE, you can download available updates from here.
- The AQ430 development tools are a fully integrated software environment for all flash based MSP430 micro-controllers.
- They allow the user to create projects, edit files, compile, assemble, link, make / build and debug an MSP430 application within a single Windows™ IDE.
- All debugging operations occur on the actual target system, controlled via a JTAG interface, like the MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool.
- AQ430 allows an unlimited number of "software" breakpoints on C or assembly language instructions for non-real time debugging, and the usual number of hardware breakpoints for real time operation.
- The user can switch from the "C source view" to the "asm view" to see (and step through) the assembly code generated by the C compiler.
- There is no limitation (other than the physical address space of the MSP430 controller used) on the size of C programs used with AQ430.
