EVM430-FR6043: Guidance on Using EVM430-FR6043 for Development

Part Number: EVM430-FR6043

Tool/software:

Dear Texas Instruments Support Team,

I am new to working with the EVM430-FR6043 development environment, and I am eager to understand its functionality and capabilities better. I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any guidance, resources, or documentation you can provide:

  1. Getting Started Documents:
    Could you kindly point me to essential documents or reference materials for working with the EVM430-FR6043?

  2. Flashing Custom Code:
    What is the recommended procedure for flashing my custom code onto the board? Are there specific tools or steps I should follow?

  3. Recovering Original Firmware:
    If I accidentally flash the wrong code or encounter issues, how can I restore the original firmware that came with the EVM430-FR6043?

  4. Accessing USS Data via UART:
    I am currently obtaining data (e.g., Delta TOF, UPS, DNS) using the USS software. Could you provide guidance on how I can extract this data over UART? Are there specific configurations or tools I should use?

Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to your response and any recommendations you may have.

Best regards,
Manojkumar Saravanan

    Hi Manojkumar,

    1. The documents are on the EVM website under the Technical Documentation tab. 

    2. Inside the  MSP430FR6043-based ultrasonic gas flow meter quick start guide, you can find different ways to flash the device. The primary way to flash it is through USB. I would recommend you take a look at the document to get more information.

    3. You can reset the device by pressing the reset button on the EVM or running a reset script on the MSP430 IDE Code Composer Studio. However, every time you load your code into the EVM, it should overwrite whatever code you had. 

    4. You can use our examples for UART communication in our SDK (you would need to install Code Composer Studio). However, the Start Guide mentions that you can use that library alongside the software for the EVM.

    Best Regards,

    Diego Abad
