3.1 MSP430 FET Drivers

The MSP430 FET Drivers are required for the operating system to properly enumerate the JTAG and UART ports created by the EZFET_LITE. The latest drivers can be found here MSP430 FET Drivers:

Download the driver package corresponding to your operating system, extract the archive, and run the installer.

In Windows, two new ports are enumerated when the EVM is connected as shown in Figure 3-1

Successful installation shows Texas Instruments as the driver publisher (Figure 3-2)
