MSP430 : Hello World LED Blink program

This is my first program to blink all LEDs connected on PORT3 of MSP430 onboard TI MSP430FR5739 experimenters board.

/******************************************************************
 * This is my first project on my MSP430FR5739 experimenter board.
 * In this project I will attempt to blink all onboard LEDs which 
 * are connected to Port 3.
 * Pseudo code as follows
 * 1. Initialise port 3 as an output port.
 * 2. Set Port 3 to digital low.
 * 3. Initialise Loop
 * 4. Set Port 3 to Digital High
 * 5. Delay (Hold State).
 * 6. Set Port 3 to Digital Low
 * 7. Delay (Hold State).
 * 8. Loop End
*******************************************************************/ 
#include "msp430fr5739.h"
#include "FR_EXP.h"
void delay(void);

void main(void) {
 WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;
 P3DIR = 0xFF;  // initialize Port 3 as output by ensuring bit 0 is 0.

 for (;;) {  // Initialise loop
  P3OUT=0xff;
  __delay_cycles(100000); // SW Delay of 10000 cycles at 1Mhz
  P3OUT=0x00;
  __delay_cycles(100000); // SW Delay of 10000 cycles at 1Mhz

  }//for loop
} // main


void delay(void) {
 int i;
 for (i=0; i<0xFF; i++) {
 } 
} // delay

Unboxing TI MSP-EXP430FR5739

While browsing www.hackaday.com I came across TI deal giving 50% off along with free shipping for their TI MSP-EXP430FR5739 Experimenter's Board. At $14, this board is a steal for budding hobbist like me in India. So I decided to try my luck and use the discount coupon shown on Hackaday site and order the board.

To my surprise, the good (I am duty bound to call them so) guys at TI accepted my order and shipped it the same day for delivery at Delhi, India. They shipped the order on Monday 20 Jul 2011 by FedEx and it was delivered to my doorstep by today 23 Jul 2011 noon. 4 days for delivery, I am super impressed.

No sooner than I came home, I saw the box (unboxed) at home and promptly jumped to open it. So here it is for all prospective buyers.. the unboxing of TI MSP-EXP430FR5739.
