If You Need Assistance Support for the MSP430 device and the eZ430-F2013 is provided by the Texas Instruments Product Information Center (PIC). Contact information for the PIC can be found on the TI web site at www.ti.com. Additional device-specific information can be found on the MSP430 web site at www.ti.com/msp430 and www.ti.com/ez430. Note: Kickstart is supported by Texas Instruments Although Kickstart is a product of IAR, Texas Instruments provides the support for it.
1. Kit Contents, eZ430-F2013 • One eZ430-F2013. The hardware is housed inside a plastic enclosure that may be opened in order to separate the MSP-EZ430D target board from the MSP-EZ430U debugging interface.
3. Software Installation 1. Insert the MSP430 CD-ROM into your computer. It should start automatically, and the MSP430 start page will then be displayed. You can also use a browser to open “index.htm” that is located in the root directory of the MSP430 CD-ROM. The eZ430-F2013 is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. 2. Select Software → IAR Workbench Kickstart and follow the instructions. 3. Respond to the prompts to install the software. The installation procedure will install IAR and TI files.
5. Flashing the LED Demo This section demonstrates how to setup a project for the eZ430-F2013 and download the application to the MSP430F2013. The sample program will blink the LED on the MSP-EZ430D target board. Start the Workbench (Start → Programs → IAR Systems → IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart for MSP430 V3 → IAR Embedded Workbench). 1. Use File → Open Workspace to open the file at C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 4.0\430\ FET_examples\Flashing the LED.eww.
6. Using the MSP430F2013 Target Board & Debugging Interface Independently The eZ430-F2013 may be used as a stand-alone development board. Additionally, the MSP-EZ430D target board may also be detached from the debugging interface and integrated into another design. The plastic enclosure can be removed to expose the MSP-EZ430U debugging interface and the MSP-EZ430D target board. The MSPEZ430D target board is disconnected from the debugging interface by gently pulling the two boards apart.
8. Frequently Asked Questions 1) What devices can be programmed with the MSP-EZ430U debugging interface? The MSP-EZ430U debugging interface was designed to communicate with devices over a Spy Bi-Wire interface. All members of the MSP430F20xx family of microcontrollers have been tested and are supported. 2) Does the eZ430-F2013 support fuse blow? The MSP-EZ430U debugging interface lacks the JTAG security fuse blow capability.

11. Detailed Hardware Installation Guide 1. Install IAR Embedded Workbench (Kickstart Version) included on the CD. 2. Insert the eZ430-F2013 into a USB port of your PC. 3. Windows should recognize the new hardware as MSP-FET430UIF JTAG Tool (Figure 6) Figure 6. Windows XP Hardware Recognition 4. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” should pop up with a dialog window. 5. Select “Install from a list or specific location [Advanced]” (Figure 7). Figure 7.
6. Point the Hardware Wizard to the folder containing the MSP-FET430UIF/eZ430F2013 driver. If you have already installed the IAR Kickstart Edition, the driver will be found at the following default location: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 4.0\430\drivers\TIUSBFET\WinXP Figure 8. Specify driver location 7. The Wizard should find the appropriate driver and on Windows XP system, it will prompt you with a warning that Microsoft did not certify the driver.
8. The Wizard will continue to install the driver and notify you that it has finished the installation of the software. 9. After closing the Hardware Wizard, Windows will automatically recognize another new hardware device called the “MSP-FET430UIF – Serial Port” 10. Repeat steps 4 – 8 for the second hardware detection. 11. The eZ430-F2013 is now installed and ready to use. The Device Manager should list a new entry as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10.
