SNIU024B – January 2015 – Revised August 2015 Introduction The LMT70EVM allows users to evaluate the performance of the LMT70 temperature sensor. The EVM comes in a USB stick form factor package with an onboard MSP430F5528 microcontroller that interfaces with both the USB host computer and the LMT70 device. The EVM also comes with perforated slots that the user can break apart to separate the microcontroller and LMT70 device for remote temperature measurements.
SNIU024B – January 2015 – Revised August 2015 Software Installation Graphical User Interface (GUI) Install the LMT70EVM Software: 1. Go to the LMT70EVM webpage available here on the TI website. Scroll down to the “Software” section and download the latest evaluation software.
Firmware 3.2.1 Firmware Check 1. Run the LMT70EVM and go to the SETUP tab and click “R” in the Firmware Revision box. Figure 3-3. Firmware Revision Number 2. Check the firmware revision number in the Firmware Revision box if it is the same revision found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\LMT70EVM\Firmware\LMT70EVM-vx.xx.txt.
1. The firmware is located at C:\\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\LMT70EVM\Firmware\LMT70EVM-v0.xx.txt 2. Open the LMT70EVM GUI and go to the “Setup” tab. Click on the “Update Firmware” button. The MSP430 USB Firmware Upgrade program will launch. 3. Click “Next” to proceed on the first prompt; read and accept the license agreement and click “Next” to continue.
Test LED button is toggled. The green LED will blink when the Start Graph button is pressed. 3. Launch the LMT70EVM software by clicking on Start >> All Program >> Texas Instruments >> LMT70EVM >> LMT70EVM. The LMT70EVM GUI should automatically connect to the appropriate COM port.

Remote Temperature Sensing with the LMT70EVM 1. The LMT70EVM comes with perforated slots where the user can snap apart the LMT70 device side and microcontroller side of the EVM. The user can either connect the LMT70 side to the microcontroller side with wires/header or the user can connect the LMT70 side onto their own device/board.
USB port before the GUI installation. In such cases the EVM board could be associated with another driver. Complete the following steps if you do not see LMT70EVM and instead see MSP430-USB Example in the Device Manager window: Figure 5-1.
