1.14 Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430PIF

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the MSP-FET430PIF tools:

1. Use the 25-conductor cable to connect the FET interface module to the parallel port of the PC. The necessary driver for accessing the PC parallel port is installed automatically during CCE/CCS or IAR Embedded Workbench installation. Note that a restart is required after the CCE/CCS or IAR Embedded Workbench installation for the driver to become active.

2. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the parallel-port debug interface module to a target board, such as an MSP-TS430xxx target socket module. Module schematics and PCBs are shown in Appendix B.

Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430UIF

1.15 Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430UIF

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the MSP-FET430UIF tool:

1. Use the USB cable to connect the USB-FET interface module to a USB port on the PC. The USB FET should be recognized, as the USB device driver should have been installed with the IDE (Code Composer Essentials/Studio or IAR Embedded Workbench).. If the install wizard starts, follow the prompts and point the wizard to the driver files. The default location for CCE is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\MSP430_USB_DRIVERS_v3\. The default location for CCS is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccs4\emulation\drivers\msp430\. The default location for IAR Embedded Workbench is <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\ 430\bin\WinXP. Detailed driver installation instructions can be found in Appendix C.

2. After connecting to a PC, the USB FET performs a self-test during which the red LED flashes for approximately two seconds. If the self-test passes successfully, the green LED stays on.

3. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the USB-FET interface module to a target board, such as an MSP-TS430xxx target socket module.

4. Ensure that the MSP430 device is securely seated in the socket, and that its pin 1 (indicated with a circular indentation on the top surface) aligns with the "1" mark on the PCB.

5. Compared to the parallel-port debug interface, the USB FET has additional features including JTAG security fuse blow and adjustable target VCC(1.8 V to 3.6 V). Supply the module with up to 100 mA.

1.16 Hardware Installation, eZ430-F2013, eZ430-RF2500, eZ430-Chronos

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the eZ430-F2013 and eZ430-RF2500 tools:

1. Connect the eZ430-F2013, eZ430-RF2500 and eZ430-Chronos to a USB port of the PC.

2. The USB FET should be recognized by the PC. The USB device driver should have been installed with the IDE (Code Composer Studio or IAR Embedded Workbench - Code Composer Essentials only supports eZ430-F2013 and eZ430-RF2500). If the install wizard starts, follow the prompts and point the wizard to the driver files. The default location for CCE is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\MSP430_USB_DRIVERS_v3\. The default location for CCS is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccs4\emulation\drivers\msp430\. The default location for IAR Embedded Workbench is <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\ 430\bin\WinXP. Detailed driver installation instructions can be found in Appendix C.

Signal Connections for In-System Programming and Debugging

2.1 Signal Connections for In-System Programming and Debugging

MSP-FET430PIF, MSP-FET430UIF, MSP-GANG430, MSP-PRGS430

With the proper connections, the debugger and an FET hardware JTAG interface (such as the MSP-FET430PIF and MSP-FET430UIF) can be used to program and debug code on the target board. In addition, the connections also support the MSP-GANG430 or MSP-PRGS430 production programmers, thus providing an easy way to program prototype boards, if desired.

Figure 2-1 shows the connections between the 14-pin FET interface module connector and the target

device required to support in-system programming and debugging for 4-wire JTAG communication.

Figure 2-2 shows the connections for 2-wire JTAG mode (Spy-Bi-Wire). While 4-wire JTAG mode is

supported on all MSP430 devices, 2-wire JTAG mode is available on selected devices only. See the CCS User's Guide for MSP430 (SLAU157) or IAR for MSP430 User's Guide (SLAU138) for information on which interface method can be used on which device.

The connections for the FET interface module and the MSP-GANG430 or MSP-PRGS430 are identical. Both the FET interface module and MSP-GANG430 can supply VCCto the target board (via pin 2). In addition, the FET interface module and MSP-GANG430 have a VCC-sense feature that, if used, requires an alternate connection (pin 4 instead of pin 2). The VCC-sense feature senses the local VCCpresent on the target board (i.e., a battery or other local power supply) and adjusts the output signals accordingly. If the target board is to be powered by a local VCC, then the connection to pin 4 on the JTAG should be made, and not the connection to pin 2. This utilizes the VCC-sense feature and prevents any contention that might occur if the local on-board VCCwere connected to the VCCsupplied from the FET interface module or the MSP-GANG430. If the VCC-sense feature is not necessary (i.e., the target board is to be powered from the FET interface module or the GANG430) the VCCconnection is made to pin 2 on the JTAG header and no connection is made to pin 4. Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 show a jumper block that supports both scenarios of supplying VCCto the target board. If this flexibility is not required, the desired VCCconnections may be hard-wired eliminating the jumper block. Pins 2 and 4 must not be connected simultaneously.

Note that in 4-wire JTAG communication mode (see Figure 2-1), the connection of the target RST signal to the JTAG connector is optional when using devices that support only 4-wire JTAG communication mode. However, when using devices that support 2-wire JTAG communication mode in 4-wire JTAG mode, the RST connection must be made. The MSP430 development tools and device programmers perform a target reset by issuing a JTAG command to gain control over the device. However, if this is unsuccessful, the RST signal of the JTAG connector may be used by the development tool or device programmer as an additional way to assert a device reset.

2.2 External Power

The PC parallel port can source a limited amount of current. Because of the ultra-low-power requirement of the MSP430, a standalone FET does not exceed the available current. However, if additional circuitry is added to the tool, this current limit could be exceeded. In this case, external power can be supplied to the tool via connections provided on the target socket modules. See the schematics and pictorials of the target socket modules in Appendix B to locate the external power connectors.

The MSP-FET430UIF can supply targets with up to 100 mA through pin 2 of the 14-pin connector. VCCfor the target can be selected between 1.8 V and 5 V in steps of 0.1 V. Alternatively, the target can be supplied externally. In this case, the external voltage should be connected to pin 4 of the 14-pin connector. The MSP-FET430UIF then adjusts the level of the JTAG signals to external VCCautomatically. Only pin 2 (MSP-FET430UIF supplies target) or pin 4 (target is externally supplied) must be connected; not both at the same time.

When a target socket module is powered from an external supply, the external supply powers the device on the target socket module and any user circuitry connected to the target socket module, and the FET interface module continues to be powered from the PC via the parallel port. If the externally supplied voltage differs from that of the FET interface module, the target socket module must be modified so that the externally supplied voltage is routed to the FET interface module (so that it may adjust its output voltage levels accordingly). See the target socket module schematics in Appendix B.

2.3 Bootstrap Loader (BSL)

The JTAG pins provide access to the flash memory of the MSP430Fxxx devices. On some devices, these pins are shared with the device port pins, and this sharing of pins can complicate a design (or sharing may not be possible). As an alternative to using the JTAG pins, most MSP430Fxxx devices contain a program (a "bootstrap loader") that permits the flash memory to be erased and programmed using a reduced set of signals. The MSP430 Programming Via the Bootstrap Loader User's Guide (SLAU319) describes this interface. TI does not produce a BSL tool. However, customers can easily develop their own BSL tools using the information in the application reports, or BSL tools can be purchased from third parties. See the

MSP430 web site for the application reports and a list of MSP430 third-party tool developers.

TI suggests that MSP430Fxxx customers design their circuits with the BSL in mind (i.e., TI suggests providing access to these signals via, for example, a header).

See FAQ Hardware #11 for a second alternative to sharing the JTAG and port pins.

Hardware FAQs

A.1 Hardware FAQs

1. The state of the device (CPU registers, RAM memory, etc.) is undefined following a reset.

Exceptions to the above statement are that the PC is loaded with the word at 0xFFFE (i.e., the reset vector), the status register is cleared, and the peripheral registers (SFRs) are initialized as documented in the device family user's guides. The CCE/CCS debugger and C-SPY reset the device after programming it.

2. MSP430F22xx Target Socket Module (MSP-TS430DA38) – Important Information

Due to the large capacitive coupling introduced by the device socket between the adjacent signals XIN/P2.6 (socket pin 6) and RST/SBWTDIO (socket pin 7), in-system debugging can disturb the LFXT1 low-frequency crystal oscillator operation (ACLK). This behavior applies only to the Spy-Bi-Wire (2-wire) JTAG configuration and only to the period while a debug session is active. Workarounds:

• Use the 4-wire JTAG mode debug configuration instead of the Spy-Bi-Wire (2-wire) JTAG configuration. This can be achieved by placing jumpers JP4 through JP9 accordingly.

• Use the debugger option "Run Free" that can be selected from the Advanced Run drop-down menu (at top of Debug View). This prevents the debugger from accessing the MSP430 while the application is running. Note that, in this mode, a manual halt is required to see if a breakpoint was hit. See the IDE documentation for more information on this feature.

• Use an external clock source to drive XIN directly.

3. With current interface hardware and software, there is a weakness when adapting target boards that are powered externally. This leads to an accidental fuse check in the MSP430. This is valid for PIF and UIF but is mainly seen on UIF. A solution is being developed. Workarounds:

• Connect RST/NMI pin to JTAG header (pin 11), LPT/USB tools are able to pull the RST line, which

also resets the device internal fuse logic.

• Use the debugger option "Release JTAG On Go" that can be selected from the IDE drop-down

menu. This prevents the debugger from accessing the MSP430 while the application is running. Note that in this mode, a manual halt is required to see if a breakpoint was hit. See the IDE documentation for more information on this feature.

• Use an external clock source to drive XIN directly.

4. The 14-conductor cable connecting the FET interface module and the target socket module must not exceed 8 inches (20 centimeters) in length.

5. The signal assignment on the 14-conductor cable is identical for the parallel port interface and the USB FET.

6. To utilize the on-chip ADC voltage references, C6 (10 ?F, 6.3 V, low leakage) must be installed on the target socket module.

7. To utilize the charge pump on the devices with LCD+ Module, C4 (10 ?F, low leakage) must be installed on the target socket module.

8. Crystals/resonators Q1 and Q2 (if applicable) are not provided on the target socket module. For MSP430 devices that contain user-selectable loading capacitors, the effective capacitance is the selected capacitance plus 3 pF (pad capacitance) divided by two.

9. Crystals/resonators have no effect upon the operation of the tool and the CCE/CCS debugger or C-SPY (as any required clocking/timing is derived from the internal DCO/FLL).

10. On 20-pin and 28-pin devices with multiplexed port/JTAG pins (P1.4 to P1.7), to use these pin in their port capacity: For CCE/CCS: "Run Free" (in Run pull-down menu at top of Debug View) must be selected. For C-SPY: "Release JTAG On Go" must be selected.

11. As an alternative to sharing the JTAG and port pins (on 20 and 28 pin devices), consider using an MSP430 device that is a "superset" of the smaller device. A very powerful feature of the MSP430 is that the family members are code and architecturally compatible, so code developed on one device (for example, one without shared JTAG and port pins) ports effortlessly to another (assuming an equivalent set of peripherals).
