uLisp now supports the MSP430


#1

The latest version of uLisp, Version 1.8, now supports two of TI’s popular MSP430 LaunchPads:

MSP430F5529 LaunchPad. This uses the flash memory for saving images, and its 25MHz processor makes it the fastest uLisp platform so far.

MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad. This version uses the FRAM for the workspace, and for saving images, giving a generous amount of memory.

Great, I’ll test the FR5969 as soon as I get a board.
Do you plan to support the MSP432 (LaunchPad MSP432P401R) also? I think this is interesting because it has 64 kB of RAM, 256kB Flash and the Launchpad is realy cheap (~ 13 EUR (Farnell)).

The MSP430 processors have many similarities to the ATmega processors, and converting uLisp was relatively straightforward. As the MSP432P401R is 32-bit ARM it may involve a bit more work. I’ll get one and try it out as a first step.
