i am trying to start sending data from MSP-TS430PN80USB to Hyperterminal but i am getting this error:

Thanks for the reply

    The message “error initializing emulator” doesn’t come from HyperTerminal. It seems CCS/IAR is unable to open the connection to the FET. Possibly you opened the wrong Com port in Hyper Terminal. The COM port provided by the FET is for communication between debugger and FET only. It is not a connection to the target MSP.
    You need to upload a firmware to the MSP that handles an USB data exchange, connect it through a separate USB cable to the PC and load a separate diver for the data transfer. If the firmware is not working properly, the device won’t enumerate and no COM port will appear for data exchange.

    There’s MSP430ware which you can use. It is a collection of library functions for operating the various peripherals and the clock system.

    Also, for 2x family devices, there is GRACE. It makes configuration easy and provides some base stubs for low-level processes.

    Then there are several multitasking OS implementations (RTOS, CONTIKI etc.). Since they need to be ported for each target MSP, not all MSPs are supported. Also, they require quite some flash and ram space, so they won’t be too useful on the smaller MSPs.
