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 MSP-

EZ430D target board is disconnected from the debugging interface by

gently pulling the two boards apart.

The target board can be used in a stand-alone design by interfacing to

the 14-pins of the MSP430F2013. Holes in the MSP-EZ430D target

board provide direct access to each pin of the MSP430F2013. Please

refer to the MSP430F2013 Data Sheet for descriptions of each pin’s

function.

The MSP-EZ430U debugging interface may also be used as a standard

Flash Emulation Tool for all devices in the MSP430F20xx family of

microcontrollers. Target boards using other supported MSP430F20xx

devices may be designed and flashed using the MSP-EZ430U

debugging interface.

7. Where To Go For More Information

The primary sources of MSP430 information are the device-specific data

sheets and User’s Guides. The most up to date versions of the User’s

Guide documents available at the time of production have been provided

on the CD-ROM included with this tool. The most current information is

found at www.ti.com/msp430

. Information specific to the eZ430-F2013

development tool can be found at www.ti.com/ez430.

MSP430 device User’s Guides and the FET User's Guide may be

accessed from the main page on the CD-ROM under the User’s Guides

section. The FET User’s Guide includes detailed information on setting

up a project for the MSP430 using IAR.

Documents describing the IAR tools (Workbench/C-SPY, the assembler,

the C compiler, the linker, and the librarian) are located in common\doc

and 430\doc. The documents are in PDF-format. Supplements to the

documents (i.e., the latest information) are available in HTML-format

within the same directories. 430\doc\readme_start.htm provides a

convenient starting point for navigating the IAR documentation.
