Ez-Fet Debug Probe; Energytrace Technology - Texas Instruments LaunchPad MSP‑EXP430G2ET User Manual

Hardware
The MSP-EXP430G2ET LaunchPad development kit features EnergyTrace technology but does not have
support for EnergyTrace++ technology (see
across the MSP430 portfolio.

The dotted line through J101 shown in
signals that cross this line can be disconnected by jumpers on J101, the isolation jumper block. For details
on the isolation jumper block, see
The eZ-FET also provides a backchannel UART-over-USB connection with the host, which can be very
useful during debugging and for easy communication with a PC. For details on the backchannel
connection, see Section
For more information about the eZ-FET hardware, see the schematics in
Design Files. For more information about the software and the debugger, see the
2.2.3 Debug Probe Connection: Isolation Jumper Block
The isolation jumper block at jumper J101 allows the user to connect or disconnect signals that cross from
the eZ-FET domain into the MSP430G2553 target domain. This includes eZ-FET Spy-Bi-Wire signals,
application UART signals, and 3.3-V and 5-V power.
Reasons to open these connections:
• To remove any and all influence from the eZ-FET debug probe for high-accuracy target power
measurements
