Hi,
I noticed in the datasheet, it mentions that SPY Bi-Wire can be used to interface with MSP430 development tools and device programmers.
Does this prevent me from using this on my board without these devices? In other words I have an ARM processor that will be used to configure this device.
I have a couple of ways to do this:
1) BSL over UART interface and then once configured use this as a standard UART interface for reading and writing
2) Use the SPY Bi-wire interface to configure the device and use the UART interface for reading and writing
Would there be any reason why either of these options won't work or is the SPY Bi-wire just intended for development tools and programmers?
Thanks!
SBW is typically used for update target device firmware, but it can also be used for exchange data between SBW master and free running target device using mailbox system.
Hello Matty,
The SPI-By Wire does not limit what you can do with the device, it is the MSP430 version of 2-wire programming. It is easiest to use our tools as they are already setup but if you want to program your own programmer you can do so as well.
The BSL UART method is also perfectly viable.

Luke
