Flash Emulation Tool (FET) Overview TI offers several flash emulation tools according to different requirements. Table 1-1. Flash Emulation Tool (FET) Features Supports all MSP430 and CC430 flash-based devices ('F1xx, 'F2xx, 'F4xx, 'F5xx, 'F6xx, 'G2xx, 'L092) Supports only 'F20xx, 'G2x01,...
One eZ430-RF2500T target board • One AAA battery pack with expansion board (batteries included) Kit Contents, eZ430-RF2500-SEH • One MSP430 development tool CD containing documentation and development software • One eZ430-RF USB debugging interface • Two eZ430-RF2500T wireless target boards •...
• One 14-Pin JTAG conductor cable • One small box containing two MSP430 device samples (See table for Sample Type) • One target socket module. To check the devices used for each board and a summary of the board, Table 1-2.
3. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the USB-FET interface module to a target board, such as an MSP-TS430xxx target socket module. 4. 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.
1.18 Important MSP430 Documents on the CD-ROM and Web The primary sources of MSP430 information are the device-specific data sheet and user's guide. The most up-to-date versions of these documents that are available at the time of production are provided on the CD-ROM included with this tool.

2-wire JTAG mode (Spy-Bi-Wire). While 4-wire JTAG mode is supported on all MSP430 devices, 2-wire JTAG mode is available on selected devices only. See the CCS User's Guide for MSP430 (SLAU157) or IAR for MSP430 User's Guide (SLAU138) for information on which interface method can be used on which device.
The RST/NMI pin R1/C1 configuration is device family dependent. See the respective MSP430 family user's guide for the recommended configuration. The TEST pin is available only on MSP430 family members with multiplexed JTAG pins. See the device-specific data sheet to determine if this pin is available.
The PC parallel port can source a limited amount of current. Because of the ultra-low-power requirement of the MSP430, a standalone FET does not exceed the available current. However, if additional circuitry is added to the tool, this current limit could be exceeded. In this case, external power can be supplied to the tool via connections provided on the target socket modules.
3. With current interface hardware and software, there is a weakness when adapting target boards that are powered externally. This leads to an accidental fuse check in the MSP430. This is valid for PIF and UIF but is mainly seen on UIF. A solution is being developed.
If high current is detected, the I Problem Description switching on and off the target power supply. This power switching puts some MSP430 devices such as the MSP430F5438 in a state that requires a power cycle to return the device to JTAG control.
