1.15 Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430PIF

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the MSP-FET430PIF tools:

1. Use the 25-conductor cable to connect the FET interface module to the parallel port of the PC. The

necessary driver for accessing the PC parallel port is installed automatically during CCS or IAR

Embedded Workbench installation. Note that a restart is required after the CCS or IAR Embedded

Workbench installation for the driver to become active.

2. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the parallel-port debug interface module to a target board, such

as an MSP-TS430xxx target socket module. Module schematics and PCBs are shown in Appendix B.

1.16 Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430UIF

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the MSP-FET430UIF tool:

1. Install the IDE (CCS or IAR) you plan to use before connecting USB-FET interface to PC. The IDE

installation installs drivers automatically.

2. Use the USB cable to connect the USB-FET interface module to a USB port on the PC. The USB FET

should be recognized, as the USB device driver is installed automatically. If the driver has not been

installed yet, the install wizard starts. Follow the prompts and point the wizard to the driver files.

The default location for CCS is c:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\drivers\msp430\USB_CDC or

c:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\drivers\msp430\USB_FET_XP_XX, depending of firmware version of

the tool.

The default location for IAR Embedded Workbench is <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\

430\drivers\TIUSBFET\eZ430-UART or <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\

430\drivers\<Win_OS>, depending of firmware version of the tool.

The USB driver is installed automatically. Detailed driver installation instructions can be found in

Appendix C.

3. After connecting to a PC, the USB FET performs a self-test during which the red LED may flash for

approximately two seconds. If the self-test passes successfully, the green LED stays on.

4. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the USB-FET interface module to a target board, such as an

MSP-TS430xxx target socket module.

5. Ensure that the MSP430 device is securely seated in the socket, and that its pin 1 (indicated with a

circular indentation on the top surface) aligns with the "1" mark on the PCB.

6. Compared to the parallel-port debug interface, the USB FET has additional features including JTAG

security fuse blow and adjustable target V

(1.8 V to 3.6 V). Supply the module with up to 60 mA.
