1.10 Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430Uxx ('U14, 'U28, 'U38, 'U40, 'U48,
'U64, 'U80, 'U100), MSP-FET430Pxx0 ('P120, 'P140, 'P410, 'P430, 'P440)
1.11 "Flash"ing the LED
1) Connect the MSP-FET430PIF or MSP-FET430UIF debug interface
to the appropriate port of your PC. Use the 14-conductor cable to
connect the FET Interface module to the supplied Target Socket
module.
2) Ensure that the MSP430 device is securely seated in the socket, and
that its pin 1 (indicated with a circular indentation on the top surface)
aligns with the "1" mark on the PCB.
3) Ensure that the two jumpers (LED and V
connector are in place. Pictorials of the Target Socket module and its
parts are presented in Appendix B.
This section demonstrates on the FET the equivalent of the C-language
"Hello World!" introductory program; an application that flashes the LED
is developed and downloaded to the FET, and then run.
1) Start the Workbench (START--> PROGRAMS--> IAR SYSTEMS-->
IAR EMBEDDED WORKBENCH KICKSTART FOR MSP430 V3-->
IAR EMBEDDED WORKBENCH).
2) Use FILE--> OPEN WORKSPACE to open the file at: <Installation
Root>\Embedded Workbench
x.x\430\FET_examples\fet_projects.eww. The workspace window will
open.
3) Click on the tab at the bottom of the workspace window that
corresponds to your tool (FETxxx) and desired language (assembler
or C).
4) Use PROJECT--> OPTIONS--> FET Debugger--> Setup-->
Connection to select the appropriate port: LPTx for the parallel FET
Interface or TI USB FET for the USB Interface or for the eZ430.
5) Use PROJECT--> REBUILD ALL to build and link the source code.
You can view the source code by double-clicking on the project, and
then double-clicking on the displayed source file.
6) Use PROJECT--> DEBUG to start the C-SPY debugger. C-SPY will
erase the device Flash, and then download the application object file
to the device Flash.
Refer to FAQ, Debugging #1) if C-SPY is unable to communicate
with the device.
7) Use DEBUG--> GO to start the application. The LED should flash!
8) Use DEBUG--> STOP DEBUGGING to stop debugging, to exit C-
SPY, and to return to the Workbench.
9) Use FILE--> EXIT to exit the Workbench.
Congratulations, you've just built and tested your first MSP430
application!
