SLAA638A august 2014 – may 2023 MSP430I2040 , MSP430I2041
Spy-bi-Wire is used on this EVM as the debug interface to external debugger.
Before connecting to MSP-FET430UIF, if the power (while debugging) to i2040 is to be supplied by the FET, then short 1 – 2 of J8 (towards board edge). If the power (while debugging) to i2040 is to be supplied by voltage on VDD pin, then short 2 – 3 of J8 (towards board center) (see Figure 4-1).
The debugging interface is NOT ISOLATED; make sure proper isolation is in place between the EVM and the PC used for debugging with AC or DC high voltage connected.
Connection to debugging interface is optional for the operation of the EVM. The EVM can operate standalone without debugger connected.
