1. Download the standalone MSP432Ware installer from download link section below.
2. Double click to run the installer, the default installation path is discoverable by CCS
3. Run CCS and let it discover the MSP432Ware installation. You can now use TI Resource Explorer within CCS.
MSP432 Driver Library (DriverLib)
1. What is MSP432 Driver Library?
MSP432 Driver Library is a collection of high level API (Application Programming Interface) that speed up software development for MSP432. The MSP432 Driver Library package includes API documentaion and examples to help you get started. Driver library (DriverLib) is one of the main components of MSP432Ware.
