This manual describes the hardware of the TI MSP-FET430 Flash Emulation Tool (FET). The FET is the
program development tool for the MSP430
™
ultra-low-power microcontrollers.
How to Use This Manual
Read and follow the instructions in
. This section lists the contents of the FET and provides instructions
on installing the hardware and the software drivers. After you see how quick and easy it is to use the
development tools, TI recommends that you read all of this manual.
This manual describes the setup and operation of the FET but does not fully describe the MSP430
microcontrollers or the development software systems. For details of these items, see the appropriate TI
documents listed in
This manual applies to the following tools:
• MSP-FET430PIF – debug interface with parallel port connection, for all MSP430 flash-based devices
• MSP-FET430UIF – debug interface with USB connection, for all MSP430 flash-based devices
• MSP-FET – successor to MSP-FET430UIF, debug interface with USB connection, for all MSP430 devices
• eZ430-F2013 – USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2013 target, for all MSP430F20xx,
MSP430G2x01, MSP430G2x11, MSP430G2x21, and MSP430G2x31 devices
• eZ430-T2012 – three MSP430F2012 based target boards
• eZ430-RF2500 – USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target, for all
MSP430F20xx, MSP430F21x2, MSP430F22xx, MSP430G2x01, MSP430G2x11, MSP430G2x21, and
MSP430G2x31 devices
• eZ430-RF2500T – one MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target board including battery pack)
• eZ430-RF2500-SEH – USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target and
solar energy harvesting module
• eZ430-Chronos-xxx – USB stick form factor interface with CC430F6137 based development system
contained in a watch; includes <1 GHz RF USB access point
Stand-alone target-socket modules without debug interface are named as MSP-TS430TSxx.
Tools named as MSP-FET430
U
xx contain the USB debug interface (MSP-FET430UIF) and the respective target
socket module MSP-TS430TSxx, where 'xx' is the same for both names. The following tools contain also the
USB debug interface (MSP-FET430UIF):
• FET430F5137RF900 – for CC430F513x devices in 48-pin RGZ packages (green PCB)
• FET430F6137RF900 – for CC430F612x and CC430F613x devices in 64-pin RGC packages (green PCB)
These tools contain the most up-to-date materials available at the time of packaging. For the latest materials
(data sheets, user's guides, software, application information, and so on), visit the
your local TI sales office.
