How to Connecting MSP-FET to eZ-FET Debug Probe (7P)

  • Hello Kiyokazu,

    It sounds like you are trying to connect MSP-FET to the eZ-FET circuit on one of the MSP430 Launchpads?  If so, which one?

  • Target Board is LAUNCHPAD MSP-EXP430FR2355 Kit.  Looking for Information is Wire connection of MSP-FET_JTAG(14P) to MSP-EXP430FR2355 7P Debug Connector.

  • Ok, this should be simple because you can use the 2-wire (SPY-BY-WIRE) feature.

    As shown in the capture below, you only need to connect the MSP-FET pin 1 (TDO/TDI) to the Launchpad pin TP102, MSP-FET pin 7 (TCK) to the Launchpad pin TP107 and of course a ground connection from MSP-FET pin 9(GND) to the launchpad pin TP101.  If you plug the Launchpad into USB the eZ-FET will be provided with 3.3v, but you will need to connect from MSP-FET pin 2(VCC TOOL) to one of the 3.3v connections on the Launchpad.

    If however, you plan to power the Launchpad with the MSP-FET, do not connect the Launchpad to USB.  Connect MSP-FET pin 4 to one of the 3.3v connections on the Launchpad.

    Does this help?
