To keep development easy and cost effective, the TI LaunchPad development kits integrate an onboard debug probe, which eliminates the need for expensive programmers. The MSPM0L1306 has the XDS110 debug probe (see Figure 2-4), which is a simple and low-cost debugger that supports all MSPM0 device derivatives.
The XDS110-ET provides a "backchannel" UART-over-USB connection with the host, which can be very useful during debugging and for easy communication with a PC. More details can be found in Section 2.3.4.
The XDS110-ET also includes EnergyTrace Technology that allows a user to quickly estimate the power consumption of their application. Accurate EnergyTrace measurements can only be taken if the XDS110-ET is the sole provider of power to the target device. Measurements include all power drawn from the portion of the board below the isolation block. See Section 2.6 for more information around current measurements.
