MSP MCU Programmer and Debugger The MSP-FET is a powerful emulation development tool – often
called a debug probe – which allows users to quickly begin application development on MSP
low-power microcontrollers (MCU). Creating MCU software usually requires downloading the
resulting binary program to the MSP device for validation and debugging. The MSP-FET
provides a debug communication pathway between a host computer and the target MSP.
Furthermore, the MSP-FET also provides a Backchannel UART connection between the
computer's USB interface and the MSP UART. This affords the MSP programmer a
convenient method for communicating serially between the MSP and a terminal running on
the computer. It also supports loading programs (often called firmware) to the MSP target
using the BSL (bootloader) through the UART and I²C communication protocols.
MSP-GANG Production Programmer The MSP Gang Programmer is an MSP430 or MSP432 device
programmer that can program up to eight identical MSP430 or MSP432 Flash or FRAM
devices at the same time. The MSP Gang Programmer connects to a host PC using a
standard RS-232 or USB connection and provides flexible programming options that allow
the user to fully customize the process. The MSP Gang Programmer is provided with an
expansion board, called the Gang Splitter, that implements the interconnections between the
MSP Gang Programmer and multiple target devices. Eight cables are provided that connect
the expansion board to eight target devices (via JTAG or Spy-Bi-Wire connectors). The
programming can be done with a PC or as a standalone device. A PC-side Graphical User
Interface is also available and is DLL-based.
8.4 Documentation Support
The following documents describe the MSP430FR59xx MCUs. Copies of these documents are available
on the Internet at www.ti.com.
To receive notification of documentation updates—including silicon errata—go to the product folder for
your device on ti.com. In the upper right corner, click the "Alert me" button. This registers you to receive a
weekly digest of product information that has changed (if any). For change details, check the revision
history of any revised document.
User's Guides
MSP430FR58xx, MSP430FR59xx, MSP430FR68xx, MSP430FR69xx Family User's Guide Detailed
description of all modules and peripherals available in this device family.
Code Composer Studio v6.1 for MSP430 User's Guide This manual describes the use of TI Code
Composer Studio IDE v6.1 (CCS v6.1) with the MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontrollers.
This document applies only for the Windows version of the Code Composer Studio IDE. The
Linux version is similar and, therefore, is not described separately.
IAR Embedded Workbench Version 3+ for MSP430 User's Guide This manual describes the use of
IAR Embedded Workbench (EW430) with the MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontrollers.
MSP430 Programming With the Bootloader (BSL) The MSP430 bootloader (BSL, formerly known as
the bootstrap loader) allows users to communicate with embedded memory in the MSP430
microcontroller during the prototyping phase, final production, and in service. Both the
programmable memory (flash memory) and the data memory (RAM) can be modified as
required. Do not confuse the bootloader with the bootstrap loader programs found in some
digital signal processors (DSPs) that automatically load program code (and data) from
external memory to the internal memory of the DSP.
MSP430 Programming Via the JTAG Interface This document describes the functions that are required
to erase, program, and verify the memory module of the MSP430 flash-based and FRAM-
based microcontroller families using the JTAG communication port. In addition, it describes
how to program the JTAG access security fuse that is available on all MSP430 devices. This
document describes device access using both the standard 4-wire JTAG interface and the 2-
wire JTAG interface, which is also referred to as Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW).
