    MSP-GANG430 can be brought out to each of the target devices via an MSP430-standard JTAG connector. The circuit could easily be modified to connect the signals to the target device pins directly (via a socket) if a traditional gang programmer is desired.

  • Page 11: Hardware Installation

    3. Attach the expansion board to the 25-pin Sub-D connector on the MSP-GANG430. The expansion board provides connectivity for up to eight targets, using the included 14-pin cables. The target MSP430 flash devices can be in stand-alone sockets or can be on an application’s PCB, and they are accessed via the JTAG signals.
