MSP Debuggers

This manual describes the use and the features of the debug probes for MSP430™ and SimpleLink™
MSP432™ microcontrollers (MCUs). It includes information about the debugger probe hardware and
software. It documents frequently asked questions on how to enable and disable certain features. It shows
the differences between the debug probes and offers a guide on how to identify the specific version of the
debug probe hardware.
