5 FAQs
Q: I can't get the backchannel UART to connect. What's wrong?
A: Check the following:
• Do the baud rate in the host's terminal application and the USCI_A0 settings match?
• Are the appropriate jumpers in place on the isolation jumper block?
• Probe on RXD and send data from the host; if you don't see data, it might be a problem on the host
side.
• Probe on TXD while sending data from the MSP430. If you don't see data, it might be a configuration
problem on the USCI_A0 module.
• Consider the use of the hardware flow control lines (especially for higher baud rates)
Q: So the onboard emulator is really open source? And I can build my own onboard emulator?
A: Yes! We encourage you to do so, using the design files.
Q: The MSP430 G2 LaunchPad had a socket, allowing me change the target device. Why doesn't
this LaunchPad use one?
A: This LaunchPad provides more functionality, and this means using a device with more pins. Sockets for
devices with this many pins are too expensive for the LaunchPad's target price.
