problem in .hex file download

Hi,

You could use the MSP430 Flasher for this purpose: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_Flasher_-_Command_Line_Programmer

Another option would be using the free FET-Pro430 Software from Elprotronic: http://www.elprotronic.com/files/FET-Pro430-Lite-Setup.zip

I have downloaded free FET-Pro430 Software from Elprotronic and followed the steps but I don't understand what's going on as soon I select the .hex file and select my controller and hit auto program Am getting Active and Pass messages and donno what's happening next.How can I know whether the hex file is dumped into device or not...actually Am checking this process just by writing a p1.0 led blink program.... but I don't find blinking of led :(

Yeah I could read the hex back by clicking READ/COPY option.Am using Launchpad and onboard led(p1.0) as soon as I dump Am just disconnecting USB cable and connecting back(power ON/OFF) still I couldn't see led blinking.The same code when I run in ccs using source code it's working well(just conforming that program is working well).

Should I need any hardware other than Launchpad to download hex file into msp430 device?

Yeah it is working well without any hardware.
