## Software Status
Our firmware is freely available in this repository, compiling with
the standard MSP430 compiler packages that ship with Debian. It
consists of a Clock, a Stopwatch, an RPN Calculator, and a Hex Memory
Viewer, all written in C.
Additionally, we've written out own client for the CC430's BootStrap
Loader (BSL). You might find it handy for other projects involving
that chip, or other MSP430F5 and MSP430F6 chips without USB.
## Hardware Status

Our replacement board is based around the CC430F6137, which combines
an MSP430 microcontroller with an LCD controller and a sub-GHz radio.
The initial version, the GoodWatch10, lacks a filter chain for the
radio and is only useful for verifying the correctness of the
non-radio portion of the design. It is believed to be correct, but
has not yet been manufactured or assembled for verification.
non-radio portion of the design. The design is confirmed to be
functional, and Travis is wearing one for daily use.
Assembly is a bit difficult, as components are 0201 wherever possible
and the central chip is QFN.
## Software Status
The firmware has not yet been written. We will aim for a
GCC-compatible image, focusing first on battery life and watch
functionality, only later on fancy radio features. Because of limited
power availability, initial applications will be transmit-only.
Assembly of the GoodWatch10 is a bit difficult, as components are 0201
wherever possible and the central chip is QFN. We'll be correcting
this by switching to 0402 parts for the GoodWatch20, at the same time
that we add a Sub-GHz radio and chip antenna.
