Compiler/MSP430F67641: Project download to MSP430F67641

HIRA TANWEER

Part Number: MSP430F67641
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hey,

I'm following the TIDA-01088 reference design, however the design guide gives little information regarding how to download the F67641 project to the MSP430F67641 SoC. If you could guide me through the process of its download, it'll be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Hira,

You can find these details in Section 6 (starting on page 38) of the User's Guide. To learn more about how to use IAR, refer to the following IAR User's Guides.

It says "download this project onto the MSP430F67641 device". What I'm looking for is a step by step guide as to how to do that. It'll be greatly appreciated.

I'd strongly encourage you to read through the IAR User's Guides linked in my previous post to get familiar with the tools you are using. If you have followed the instructions in Section 6 and have the board configured correctly and the MSP-FET connected, just click the green "Download and Debug" button in the IAR IDE.

In order to download the project, just the JTAG to USB cable needs to be connected from the board to PC or there are other connections (eg. external DC power supply) need to be given too?

Which emulator are you using? Is it the MSP-FET? According to Section 5.2 in the User's Guide, you can either power the device using the voltage provided through the JTAG interface (provided by the MSP-FET using the power available from your computer) or power the device with an external power supply. Please make sure all the jumpers described in Table 3 match whichever configuration that you choose.

The Table 3 provides very insufficient information as to make the connections properly. The DVCC external and internal have 3 connectors with little distinction where the connection has to be made to select one. The table excessively uses the phrase "place jumpers" with no information on where the other end of the connection has to be linked. It'd be very much appreciated if you could provide me with clearer guidelines on jumper settings, preferably with pictures.

The header names in Table 3 correspond to those printed on the PCB silkscreen. You can see this in person if you have the board or can zoom in on Figures 17 and 18 to see these names. This is not a simple design, so please take some time reading through the User's Guide with the board beside you as a reference.

Also, let me reiterate that you should NOT connect any type of High Voltage (HV) to the board when you have your debug interface (e.g. MSP-FET) connected to your PC. The RS-232/UART communication interface is isolated, so you can connect a RS-232-to-USB adapter to your PC safely when the board is connected to HV.

James

Can you guide me with what connections are to be made (starting and ending point), in order to just download the project via JTAG while powering the board externally?
