Hi Sir,

I need your help please.

I am trying to interface the MSP430FG4618 with hyperterminal. I tried many codes but it does not work. I found your above comments. You said it was work with you. Could you please send me the code which is work with you. many thanks for you and for any body can help.

    Are you using the MSP430FG4618 experimenter's board in this scenario?

    Where are you running into difficulties?

    Hello!

    I recently used similar code with a 5438, and the first experiment I did was to connect to hyperterminal. In my case, it was a custom hardware, but if worked right out of the box. You are using the TUSB3410, right?

    In case you made a custom hardware, you have to load the EEPROM for the 3410. First take the EEPROM image as is, don't modify anything. You will modify the EEPROM to fit your product once everything worksm but first, copy the EEPROM image in the 24C128 EEPROM used by the 3410.

    Then, if you connect your USB cable, a popup window will show and tell you that a new hard has been detected. In order to install the drivers, set the path to the SLAA276a folder (downloadable from TI). In my case, it was D:\slaa276a\MSP430_TUSB3410_2KXP_V103

    Then it should install the drivers.

    Once you do that, write anything to the USART connected to the 3410, and you should see it in hyperterminal, assuming the baud rate is the same at both sides.

    Have fun!

    Hi Rahman

    On the MSP430 code examples webpage, you will find examples in C and assembly for UART to work with hyperterminal.

    http://focus.ti.com/mcu/docs/mcuflashtools.tsp?sectionId=95&tabId=1538&familyId=342

    Click on C under MSP430FG461x and from the zip file, use msp430xG46x_uscia0_uart_9600.c. This examples echo a character typed on the hyperterminal. This should get you up and running.

    Best regards
