MSP430-P2618 user's manual
We also provide our own flash programming software which can be distributed free. You can find it
at the above mentioned debuggers' web pages.
2.4 Powering the board
There are two options for powering the board:
Either
set the jumpers P_IN closed, P_OUT open so you can power from JTAG connector
OR
open P_IN, close P_OUT jumper and then use the power jack connecter to provide 5V DC.
Note: In previous revisions there was an option to provide 6.5V AC, which is no longer the case.
On powering the board the PWR LED, LED1 should turn on.
2.5 Prebuilt software
On powering the board the PWR LED should turn on. The LCD should show 3 lines of text and the
ability to control the selector marker between them. On pressing the joystick over our test of choice
it should be conducted.
