4 Software
The on-board MSP430 comes pre-programmed and ready to use. When using this EVM for the first time on a
Windows 7 (or above) PC, MSP430 drivers and USB-2-MDIO software utility will have to be installed. USB-2-
MDIO software can be used for accessing the PHY's registers. In the case where an external MSP430 or ezFET
is needed, the user may simply connect the TST and RST pins of their device to the DP83TD510E-EVM
4.1 MSP430 Driver
Install the latest MSP430 driver from this website:

msp430/MSP430_FET_Drivers/latest/index_FDS.html
4.2 USB-2-MDIO Software
Download the software from http://www.ti.com/tool/usb-2-mdio
https://www.ti.com/tool/usb-2-mdio
.
The webpage also contains the User’s Guide for installing and using the software. Because the MSP430 is on-
board the DP83TD510E-EVM, it is not necessary to purchase a separate MSP430 Launchpad kit and connect to
the PHY using wires. In the case the on-board MSP430 cannot be used for some reason, MDIO and MDC pins
are also broken out on J23 and J22 pins, respectively. Users can connect an MSP430 launchpad or their own
MDIO-MDC utility on J23 and J22 to access the PHY
