MSP430F67791A: about connect to device

Part Number: MSP430F67791A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430FR5994

I am using MSP430F67791A and before in my design I have uploaded my software via IAR 7.10.5

I lost my original debugger (MSP-FET430UIF) and I found immediately MSP-EXP430FR5994.

In this launchpad, there ara 3v3, gnd, SBWTDIO and SBWTCK pins and basically I should upload my software in my chip via this launchpad's debugger but I receive an error that "could not found or not supported". 

Is it possible to upload with this launchpad's debugger or not possible.

should I use original debugger for MSP430F67791A, or is it possible to upload with another debugger.

thank you

  • Hi,

    Recommend to use the original debugger, but it should be fine if you use EZ-FET on the MSP-EXP430FR5994 to download the firmware to the MSP430F67791A .

    Does it work well when you upload the code into the MSP-EXP430FR5994?

    Best Regards,
    Peter

  • MSP430F67791A  is not prigramming with MSP-EXP430FR5994 launchboard's debugger side. only programming with original debugger. for developers, it needs to list for compitable debuggers for mcus. 

  • eZ FET on MSP-EXP430FR5994 is new and much better than very old and slow MSP-FET430UIF, and should work with any MSP430F5xx/6xx target device using SBW interface without any issues. Check capacitor value on target device RESET pin (should be 1nF), and use lowest speed for  SBW interface.
