MSP Debuggers
5.9.2 Backchannel UART
The baud rates that are supported depend on the target configuration and the debug settings. Table 13
shows which baud rates are supported with certain configuration combinations.
✓ means that the corresponding baud rate is supported without any data loss with the specified
combination of settings.
✗ means that the corresponding baud rate is not supported (data loss is expected) with the specified
combination of settings.

5.9.3 Hardware
This section describes the pinout of the eZ430 debug connector. It includes a list of all debugger pin
states after power up and the ez430 schematics.
