5.6 MSP-FET Stand-Alone Debug Probe
The MSP-FET (see Figure 10 and Figure 11) is a powerful debug probe for application development
supporting all MSP430 microcontrollers.
The MSP-FET provides a USB interface to program and debug the MSP430 devices in-system through
the JTAG interface or the pin-saving Spy-Bi-Wire (2-wire JTAG) protocol. Furthermore, the USB interface
can be used for Backchannel UART and MSP target BSL communication. UART BSL and I
2
C BSL
communication modes are supported.
The MSP-FET development tool supports development with all MSP430 devices and is designed for use
with PCBs that contain MSP430 devices; for example, the MSP430 target socket boards.
