MSP-TS430PT48A: Can I use Code Composer Studio to program MSP430FR2355 with MSP-TS430PT48A

Part Number: MSP-TS430PT48A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR2355, , MSP-TS430PT48

I've been experimenting the LaunchPad for MSP430FR2355 and wonder when in production phase, can I use Code Composer Studio to program the bare MCU with MSP-TS430PT48A (the target development board) like we did with the LaunchPad? If not, should I desolder the MCU from the LaunchPad after it's being programmed and solder it on the actual product? I'm new to MCU. Helpful if someone can point me to the right documentation and hardware/software to program MSP430 in production phase.

    Hi TICL,

    Yes.

    The MSP-TS430PT48 can be used to program the MSP430FR2355 in a production environment.  You can either use the Launchpad's built-in programmer (with a couple of jumper wires) or the MSPFET programmer (which is actually recommended in this case).  Just depends how many chips you intend to program.

    The simplest software to use to program the MSP430FR2355 is Uniflash (free).  It is a GUI that takes the image you create in CCS and communicates with the programmer to perform the target device program/verification, etc.  You can also write scripts and executed from the command line, but most use the GUI.

    The only documentation you might want to review is the MSPFET users guide.

    I would suggest that you get an MSPFET programmer and use it to program your devices, and you can use it to debug code on the MSP430FR2355 in the MSP-TS430PT48.  This way you won't be limited to only the MSP430FR2355 mounted on the Launchpad.
