1.15 Hardware Installation, MSP-TS430xxx, MSP-FET430Uxx, FET430F6137RF900, EM430Fx1x7RF900

Follow these steps to install the hardware for the MSP-FET430Uxx and MSP-TS430xxx tools:

  1. Install the IDE (CCS or IAR) you plan to use before connecting USB-FET interface to PC. The IDE installation installs drivers automatically.
  2. 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 is installed automatically. If the driver has not been installed yet, the install wizard starts. Follow the prompts and point the wizard to the driver files.
  3. Connect the MSP-FET430PIF or MSP-FET430UIF debug interface to the appropriate port of the PC. Use the 14-conductor cable to connect the FET interface module to the supplied 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. Ensure that the two jumpers (LED and VCC) near the 2×7-pin male connector are in place. Section B includes illustrations of the target socket modules and their parts.
