Using MPU9150 on AFE4400SPO2EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4400SPO2EVM, MSP430F5529

Hello,
I just noticed that there is a footprint for MPU9150 in AFE4400SPO2EVM module along with a circuit for it in the schematic diagram but no sensor. 
So I was curious that can I solder and use MPU9150 with the EVM module for motion cancellation in the heart rate monitor.
Also how to upload a custom code to the msp430 in the EVM, because CCS doesn't recognize the EVM module.

I am attaching the pics of the footprint and the respective circuit in the schematics.

    Yes, you can install the MPU9150 yourself and use it.  For motion cancellation, you'll want to ensure the optical sensor and MPU are exposed to the same motion. 

    We are unable to provide extensive support on using the EVM as a development platform, but it is capable of being that.  We used MSP430 FET tool and TAG connect cable for debug and development.  MSP430 forums would be good place to start with questions on developing with MSP430F5529.
