MSP430F1232IPW Loading Code:

As it a TSSOP-28, you can not use it directly on the Launchpad as that only take up to 14 or 20pin DIP.
You can run 4 shorts wires to your pcb from the lauchpad (with its msp430 dip removed) as a poor-mans programmer.

Dan:

You may want to consider using the MSP-EXP430G2 launchpad.

It can run twice as fast as the F1232, has twice the memory, both Flash and RAM.

Also, the launchpad is cheap compared to purchasing the tools necessary for the F1232.

There is also a good video course on getting started: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_MSP430G2553_Value-Line_LaunchPad_Workshop

Hopefully, that helps.

Dan:

So, you have an existing board that contains an MSP430F1232IPW, correct?

Does that board have a JTAG connector, or place to solder on a JTAG connector?

(The 1x chips require a 4-wire JTAG for programming as I remember...)

Do you have an existing JTAG? (Should probably be MSP-FET430UIF or similar)

Dan:

Is there a specific reason for using the F1232? (Prior use?)

When you build your PCB, if you use the F1232, you should look at the TI board that will support it, and try to make some room on the board for a JTAG connection. That way, you can make changes to your code if you need to. For instance, the TI recommended evaluation board is MSP-FET430U28 - that board has a JTAG port, and the schematic can show you how to add the same to your PCB.

You could also consider comparing the Launchpad processor against the F1232 to see if there are enough similarities to move to the G2. (Besides the reasons I mentioned earlier, it is also half the price of the F1232.)

Here is an FYI: http://dangerousprototypes.com/2012/12/19/sensorless-brushless-dc-motor-drive/

Not sure if this does much for you other than throwing in the confusion factor, but it did look interesting...
