MSP430FR2633: MSP430FR2633 programming using MSP e-Z430

Hi Nikhil!

The eZ430-Chronos (officially) only supports the CC430F613x devices. You need a development board that has at least an eZ-FET Lite on board.

Have a look at the table on page 4 of this document:

Thank u Dennis! Which one according to you will be more suitable for 2633 out of MSP-FET430PIF, MSP-FET430UIF,MSP-FET,eZ-FET Lite Emulation IP. I am asking this as I am completely new these products and wish to fabricate them inhouse.

Hello Nikhil,
You can use MSP-FET or MSP-GANG for the same...

Having the real MSP-FET programmer is definitely option number 1, but of course it is the more expensive solution. In my opinion it is worth the money because it provides a lot of useful features and it is the official MSP430 programmer, so TI will take care that it will support all the available and upcoming parts. But any LaunchPad with the eZ-FET or eZ-FET Lite emulator can be used to program and debug your part as well. You can recognize this emulation part by it's 45 degrees rotated IC on the emulation side:

So the cheapest solution would be a LaunchPad like the MSP-EXP430FR2311 or the MSP-EXP430FR4133 (both $13.99), for example.
