Example 2
To let free run target 3 programmed via SpyBiWire (2-wire mode):
Select TDO/TDI3 = 0x0002
Logic level at TDO/TDIx = 0x0008
VCC on at VCC_MSP pin = 0x0100
Enter 0x010A (0x0002 + 0x0008 + 0x0100) into Set Signal and click Execute.

Programming MSP430 Flash Devices in Stand-Alone Mode

The MSP-GANG430 supports a stand-alone mode of programming the target MSP430 flash devices.
The programming options for the MSP-GANG430 while it operates in stand-alone mode are configured
using the GUI. When the Start button in Main Process is clicked, all selected options are downloaded into
the flash memory of the MSP-GANG430. Once the download is complete, the MSP-GANG430 can be
disconnected from the PC and used stand-alone to program the target devices. The Start button on the
MSP-GANG430 operates the same as the Start button of the GUI. Note that after performing additional
MSP-GANG430 operations using the GUI, the options to be used for stand-alone programming need to be
re-downloaded into the flash memory of the MSP-GANG430 by pressing of the Start button of the GUI.
Note that after performing additional MSP-GANG430 operations using the GUI, the options to be used for
stand-alone programming need to be downloaded again into the flash memory of the MSP-GANG430.
Progress of the operation in stand-alone mode is indicated by the flashing yellow LED.
The result status is represented by the rows of green and red LEDs on the MSP-GANG430. For each
channel, a green LED indicates a successful operation, and a red LED indicates a failed operation. If both
red and green LEDs are off for a channel, the target device connected to that channel is not accessible or
there is no target device.
To start the hardware self test of the MSP-GANG430 while in stand-alone mode, press and hold the Start
key for more than three seconds. The progress of the test is indicated by alternately flashing green and
red LEDs in groups of four. If the self test passes, all eight green LEDs are on. Any other combination of
the LEDs indicates that the self test failed.
NOTE: If the GANG430.DLL is used for configuration of MSP-GANG430 in stand-alone mode, the
MSP-GANG430 works with image #0 (default) after power on. Thus, the programming
options and the program code should be downloaded into image #0. This is not relevant
when using the GUI gang430.exe, because it uses only image #0.

Programming MSP430 Flash Devices With User-Configured UART Handler

The MSP-GANG430 programmer supports programming the MSP430 flash devices using generic
firmware commands. The generic firmware commands and protocol are described in
2.4

Programming the MSP430 Devices With GANG430.DLL

The MSP-GANG430 programmer supports programming the MSP430 flash devices by using DLL
functions. The usage of the DLL functions and their prototypes (calling conventions) are described in
