Antmicro recently highlighted the MSP430 microcontroller family, renowned for its ultra-low-power design and versatility in applications such as IoT, automation, and space. Their article explores how the Renode simulation platform facilitates efficient testing and development of MSP430-based systems. The Texas Instruments MSP430 is a cost-effective, ultra-low-power family of microcontrollers with a custom instruction set architecture. […]
