JTAG Operation
JTAG Standard Interface
The MSP430 family supports the standard JTAG interface, which requires four signals for sending and receiving
data. The JTAG signals are shared with general-purpose I/Os. The TEST/SBWTCK pin is used to enable the
JTAG signals. In addition to these signals, the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO is required to interface with MSP430
development tools and device programmers. The JTAG pin requirements are shown in Table 7. For further
details on interfacing to development tools and device programmers, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's
Guide (SLAU278). For complete description of the features of the JTAG interface and its implementation, see the
MSP430 Memory Programming via the JTAG Interface User's Guide (SLAU320).

Spy-Bi-Wire Interface
In addition to the standard JTAG interface, the MSP430 family supports the two-wire Spy-Bi-Wire interface. Spy-
Bi-Wire can be used to interface with MSP430 development tools and device programmers. The Spy-Bi-Wire
interface pin requirements are shown in Table 8. For further details on interfacing to development tools and
device programmers, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide (SLAU278). For complete description of the
features of the JTAG interface and its implementation, see the MSP430 Memory Programming via the JTAG
Interface User's Guide (SLAU320).

Flash Memory (Link to User's Guide)
The flash memory can be programmed via the JTAG port, Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW), the BSL, or in-system by the
CPU. The CPU can perform single-byte, single-word, and long-word writes to the flash memory. Features of the
flash memory include:
• Flash memory has n segments of main memory and four segments of information memory (A to D) of
128 bytes each. Each segment in main memory is 512 bytes in size.
• Segments 0 to n may be erased in one step, or each segment may be individually erased.
• Segments A to D can be erased individually, or as a group with segments 0 to n. Segments A to D are also
called information memory.
• Segment A can be locked separately.
