MSP430FR2355 Interface Firmware
7 MSP430FR2355 Interface Firmware
The MSP430FR2355 on the MCT8316AEVM comes pre-programmed with the firmware necessary for
communicating with the PC GUI and the MCT8316A. In order to reprogram or flash custom code on the
MSP430FR2355, you will need an external MSP430 LaunchPad
example, we use the
MSP-EXP430FR2355 LaunchPad Development Kit
steps below to download the code for the MCT8316AEVM to use with the GUI.
7.1 Downloading Code Composer Studio and Importing MSP430FR2355 Interface Firmware
Code
1. Extract the "MCT8316AEVM_MSP430FR2355_Firmware_GUI.zip" to a location on the computer.
2. Download the latest version of
a. Accept all agreements, default install locations, and hit "Next" to proceed through menus.
b. In the "Select Components" window, ensure to check "MSP430 Low-Power MCUs" to install the required
packages for the MSP430 LaunchPad Evaluation Kits.
3. After installing, run CCS and select a folder or the default to use as the Workspace to store any new
projects. The location and naming convention can be changed based on the user's preference. Click the OK
button to accept.
4. In CCS, click on the Project tab and select "Import CCS Projects". Click on Browse.
5. Select the "MCT8316AEVM_MSP430FR2355_Firmware_GUI" folder installed from step 1.
6. Import the project "MCT8316AEVM_MSP430FR2355_Firmware_GUI" into your workspace as shown in
Figure

7.2 Using the eZ-FET to Program the MSP430FR2355
The eZ-FET Debug Probe on the MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad uses a SPI-by-Wire JTAG interface to program
the MSP430FR2355 MCU on the MCT8316AEVM. Consult the
MSP430 LaunchPads that include an onboard eZ-FET Debug Probe.
1. Remove the GND, 3V3, SBWTDIO, and SBWTCK jumpers from the MSP430 LaunchPad.
2. Connect the top pins on the eZ-FET side of the LaunchPad of the GND, 3V3, SBWTCK, and SBWTDIO
signals to their respective pins on J4 of the MCT8316AEVM as shown in
