MSP432 Launchpad
The new 32bit Cortex M4F MSP432 is already soldered on a Launchpad, get one from TI’s store:
https://store.ti.com/msp-exp432p401r.aspx
It’s a new ARM Cortex M4F
12.99 USD + S&H = 1 MSP432P401R Launchpad
MCU Features:
- 48MHz ARM Cortex M4
- 95uA/MHz active power
- 850nA RTC operation
- 14-bit 1MSPS differential SAR ADC
- AES256 accelerator
Development Tools
HW: XDS100, XDS100ET (the onboard version on the Launchpad)
SW: CCS. IAR search didn’t bring up nothing for now…
MSP432 RTOS
Because it’s ARM!
Available: FREE RTOS, TI RTOS, Micrium OS
I hope I’ll compare it soon with one of the EFM32 Gecko’s… straight on the desktop.

- Comment on U.S. Clings to Semiconductor Dominance as China Mounts Challenge by ubm112211 July 13, 2020In reply to IanD. usa seems , large amount of talents are in the software/internet corps. which left little can spare for semi dev. so even if US put some major investment in semis, it will end up with indian engs getting the benefit. that's one reason behind
- Comment on U.S. Clings to Semiconductor Dominance as China Mounts Challenge by ubm112211 July 13, 2020In reply to ubm112211. china is still in the process of getting it's 1st nand chip PRQed in year of 2020. nand was invented in 1991. which is a reflection of the efficiency of chinese system.
