MSP430FR6047: Debugging the MSP430FR6047

Part Number: MSP430FR6047

Tool/software:

Dear Engineers,

I want to design a circuit with MSP430FR6047 for water meter solution. At the moment I'm using the evaluation board, and I can easily connect to board with the GUI.

My question is if I want to design my own hardware and still be able to connect the GUI to the hardware, if it is enough to use an external USB to serial debugger and connect the MSP430FR6047's serial pins to the debugger, can the GUI still communicate with the MSP430? 

I plan to use the following UART pin for this purpose:

 

I wonder if in the firmware of the evaluation board they have also used this UART pins?

USB to serial debugger:

Regards,

    Hi Behnam,

    The communication between the GUI and the EVM are controlled by secondary MSP430 USB device. You could theoratically replace this component using some combination of another USB device and additional programming. You may want to start by reading the serial communication between the MSP430FR6047 and the debugger to see what the communication looks like, and then evaluate knowing what is required of the serial communication interface that you must use on the USB to serial debugger. 

    For additional reference, you can find a guide on the HID bridge (the USB to serial interface used on the EVM) in the Ultrasonic Sensing Center User's Guide.
