The eZ-FET lite emulator on the F5529 LaunchPad development kit can interface to most MSP430 MCUs, not just the onboard F5529 target device.
To do this, disconnect every jumper in the isolation jumper block. This is necessary because the emulator cannot connect to more than one target at a time over the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) connection.
Next, make sure the target board has proper connections for Spy-Bi-Wire. To be compatible with SBW, the capacitor on RST/SBWTDIO cannot be greater than 2.2 nF. The documentation for designing MSP430 JTAG interface circuitry is the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide.
Finally, wire together these signals from the emulator side of the isolation jumper block to the target hardware:
This wiring can be done either with jumper wires or by designing the board with a connector that plugs into the isolation jumper block.
