About This Manual
This manual describes the hardware of the TI MSP-FET430 Flash Emulation Tool (FET). The FET is the
program development tool for the MSP430™ ultra-low-power microcontroller. Both available interface
types, the parallel port interface and the USB interface, are described.
How to Use This Manual
Read and follow the instructions in Chapter 1. This section lists the contents of the FET, provides
instructions on installing the hardware and according software drivers. After you see how quick and easy it
is to use the development tools, TI recommends that you read all of this manual.
This manual describes the setup and operation of the FET but does not fully describe the MSP430™
microcontrollers or the development software systems. For details of these items, see the appropriate TI
documents listed in Section 1.19.
This manual applies to the following tools (and devices):
• MSP-FET430PIF (debug interface with parallel port connection, for all MSP430 flash-based devices)
• MSP-FET430UIF (debug interface with USB connection, for all MSP430 flash-based devices)
• MSP-FET (successor to MSP-FET430UIF, debug interface with USB connection, for all MSP430
devices)
• eZ430-F2013 (USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2013 target, for all
MSP430F20xx, MSP430G2x01, MSP430G2x11, MSP430G2x21, and MSP430G2x31 devices)
• eZ430-T2012 (three MSP430F2012 based target boards)
• eZ430-RF2500 (USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target, for
all MSP430F20xx, MSP430F21x2, MSP430F22xx, MSP430G2x01, MSP430G2x11, MSP430G2x21,
and MSP430G2x31 devices)
• eZ430-RF2500T (one MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target board including battery pack)
• eZ430-RF2500-SEH (USB stick form factor interface with attached MSP430F2274 and CC2500 target
and solar energy harvesting module)
• eZ430-Chronos-xxx (USB stick form factor interface with CC430F6137 based development system
contained in a watch. Includes <1 GHz RF USB access point)
Stand-alone target-socket modules (without debug interface) named as MSP-TS430TSxx.
Tools named as MSP-FET430Uxx contain the USB debug interface (MSP-FET430UIF) and the respective
target socket module MSP-TS430TSxx, where 'xx' is the same for both names. The following tools contain
also the USB debug interface (MSP-FET430UIF):
• FET430F5137RF900 (for CC430F513x devices in 48-pin RGZ packages) (green PCB)
• FET430F6137RF900 (for CC430F612x and CC430F613x devices in 64-pin RGC packages) (green
PCB)
These tools contain the most up-to-date materials available at the time of packaging. For the latest
materials (data sheets, user's guides, software, application information, and so on), visit the TI MSP430
website at www.ti.com/msp430 or contact your local TI sales office.
