4.1 Hardware Overview
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the functional blocks and connections of the MSP-EXP430F5529
Experimenter Board. The area of the PCB labeled as "eZ430-FET Emulator" and bordered by a thick
broken line on the PCB silk screen is an integrated TI Flash Emulation Tool (FET) which is connected to
the Experimenter Board by the jumpers on JP16. This module is similar to any eZ430 emulator, and
provides real-time in-system Spy-Bi-Wire programming and debugging via a USB connection to a PC.
Using the eZ430-FET Emulator module eliminates the need for using an external MSP430 Flash
Emulation Tool (MSP-FET430UIF). However, full speed 4-wire JTAG communication is only possible with
a MSP-FET430UIF connected to the "5529 JTAG" header. For additional details on the installation and
usage of the Flash Emulation Tool, Spy-Bi-Wire and JTAG, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's
Guide (SLAU278).
