Tool/software:

Dear TI Support Team,

Due to project requirements, we need to replicate the functionality of the eZ-FET .

We have downloaded the eZ-FET lite Test and Programming GUI from the following official TI page:
https://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSP430_ezFETLite/latest/index_FDS.html

However, we are currently unable to build or compile this tool into a usable executable on Windows 11.

We would like to ask the following:

Is there a precompiled executable version of the eZ-FET lite Test and Programming GUI that is compatible with Windows 11?
Can the GUI be used with the MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool, rather than the older MSP-FET430UIF?

Thank you for your support.

Hi,

Does it mean that you want to replicate an eZ-FET based on your own hardware design? if so, I think maybe you can use UniFlash Tools and MSP-FET/MSP-FET430UIF to burn the firmware (eZ-FET lite rev 1.10 Release Package\Firmware\EZFET_LITE_Rev1_1_BSL_1_1.txt) to the MSP430F5528 on your own board. Hope it would be helpful to you.

Best Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, we understand that it's possible to burn the firmware using UniFlash and MSP-FET/MSP-FET430UIF.
However, for our current testing process, we are still hoping to obtain the eZ-FET lite Test and Programming GUI, mainly to verify whether the firmware was successfully programmed.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share a precompiled version of the GUI or let us know if it’s available.

Hi Jane,

Apologies for the delayed response, I got the feedback from the software team and I'm so sorry to tell you that SW team may not be able to provide the precompiled executable version of this software.

Best Regards,
Peter
