config.ini
FPAs-setup.ini - FPAs- vs USB ports configuration file
All these files ‘as is’ should be copied to destination location, where application software using DLL
library of the MSP430 Flash programmer is installed. The config.ini file has default setup
information. The config.ini file can be modified and taken directly form the MSP430 Flash
Programmer application software. To create required config.ini file the standard MSP430 Flash
programmer software should be open and required setup (memory option, JTAG/SBW/BSL interface
select etc) should be created. When this is done, programming software should be closed and the
config.ini file with the latest saved configuration copied to destination location. Note, that the
configuration setup can be modified using DLL library function.
Software package has a demo software written under Visual C++.net , Visual Basic.net and
LabVIEW - version 7.1. All files and source code are located in:
C:\Program Files\Elprotronic\MSP430\USB FlashPro430\API-DLL-Demo\Cpp

1.1 Using TI’s MSP-FET430UIF adapter
The Multi-FPA API-DLL version 4.0 and higher allows to control the TI’s MSP-FET430UIF
or EZ430 stick adapter with the same list of instructions as are used for the MSP-MSP430-FPA
adapters. The API-DLL is prepared mostly for the flash programming only and from that reason an
available list of instructions in the MSP-FET430UIF used for debugging are not used in the API-
DLL. The care should be taken, that some of the features available in the USB-MSP430-FPA
adapters are not supported in the MSP-FET430UIF adapters and vice-verse. The MSP-FET430UIF
does not support the BSL communication interface and also does not allow to calibrate the DCO
frequency. These option should be disabled in software (see software configuration) if the MSP-
FET430UIF adapter is used.
The API-DLL structure and list of instructions for the MSP-FET430UIF allows to use current
application software used for the USB-MSP430-FPA adapters without modification. Only the latest
DLLs should replace the old dlls. Also the MSPFET430UIF1.dll file should be plased with the other
dlls if the MSP-FET430UIF is used. When the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter is not used, then the
MSP430FPA1.dll can be removed. Make sure that the main dll - MSP430FPA.dll is always
installed. The MSPFET430UIF1.dll file is protected and can work without access key only first 30
