Using EnergyTrace with CC2650 SensorTag

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2541, ENERGYTRACE, MSP430FR5969, CC2640

I'd like to take some power consumption measurements for a data logging firmware I'm developing for CC2650 SensorTag.

I've seen AppNote AN092, which explains how to do this with a current shunt resistor and oscilloscope. It describes the process for the old CC2541 SensorTag but it should be adaptable to the new one.

That said, I think it might be more convenient to use EnergyTrace to take measurements. This should be possible without modifying the board, and it avoids the need to switch measurement range as the MCU changes between power modes.

First of all I have an MSP430FR5969 launchpad. Following the instructions in this post I could use the launchpad to power the SensorTag and take Energytrace measurements using CCS6.1.0 (without launching a debug session). I'm confident this will work, and it should be suitable for taking power measurements for the average use case.

My question is regarding the MSP432P401R launchpad, which has an onboard XDS-110ET emulator. Is that emulator compatible with the CC2650?

I assume the  EnergyTrace+ CPU state information won't be available as that requires support within the target MCU. Even so, being able to trigger EnergyTrace captures after hitting a breakpoint would be a useful tool. Can I just get an ARM micro-JTAG cable and connect the XDS-100ET to the SensorTag?
