5.6.5.2 MSP-FET Pin States After Power Up

Table 8 describes the electrical state of every JTAG pin after debug probe power up.

Table 8. MSP-FET Pin States

Pin Name After Power up When JTAG Protocol is Active When Spy-Bi-Wire Protocol is Active
1 TDO/TDI Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V In, TDO In and Out, SBWTDIO (RST pin)
2 VCC_TOOL 3.3 V Target VCC Target VCC
3 TDI/VPP Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V Out, TDI Hi-Z, pulled up to VCC
4 VCC_TARGET In, external VCC sense In, external VCC sense In, external VCC sense
5 TMS Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V Out, TMS Hi-Z, pulled up to VCC
6 N/C N/C N/C N/C
7 TCK Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V Out, TCK Out, SBWTCK
8 TEST/VPP Out, Ground Out, TEST Hi-Z, pulled up to VCC
9 GND Ground Ground Ground
10 UART_CTS/SPI_CLK/I2C_SCL Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V Out, Target UART Clear-To-Send Handshake input Out, Target UART Clear-To-Send Handshake input
11 RST Out, VCC Out, RST Ground
12 UART_TXD/SPI_SOMI/I2C_SDA Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V In, Target UART TXD output In, Target UART TXD output
13 UART_RTS Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V In, Target UART Ready-to-Send Handshake output In, Target UART Ready-to-Send Handshake output
14 UART_RXD/SPI_SIMO Hi-Z, pulled up to 3.3 V Out, Target UART RXD input Out, Target UART RXD input

NOTE

To enable the UART, I2C, or SPI pins, the correct invalid baud rate activation command must be sent (see Table 5 and Table 6). After this, the pins switch to the states in Table 8.

NOTE

MSP430BSL-SPI support is currently not available using the MSP-FET. The pin names used in Table 8 are the same as the names that are printed on the back of the MSP-FET.
