Hello,
I recently bought a MSP430F5529 Launchpad, which has a built-in ez-FET, with FET standing for Flash Emulation Tool. I'm confused on what's happening, when I load my program, is it writing it to the FET and the FET is emulating the flash memory on the MSP430 via JTAG? If not, what flash is it emulating?
Also, what is the difference between the release and debug builds? I expected the debug build to have extra code that enables debugging, but it seems to work on the release build as well, how are they different. Does the debug build work if programming the chip in production, or does it require the FET to be present to operate?
Finally, if I want to just load the binary onto the chip, how do I do that in CCS without going into the debug mode?
