Getting Started: Evaluating MSP430 USB

6.4 FET Target Boards

For every MSP430 device, TI provides simple evaluation boards called "FET target boards".

FET target boards are available for every MSP430 derivative, not just the MSP430F5529. However, they

do not have an on-board emulator, as the F5529 LaunchPad and F5529 Experimenter's Board do; and so

they require a FET Tool for emulation.
