MSP430G2553: Programming MSP430G2553 in circuit using the LaunchPad Evaluation board

Part Number: MSP430G2553
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

I have designed a PCB incorporating an MSP430G2553 processor.

I included a header with TEST/RST/VCC/GND for the programming interface.

Can I use the MXP-EXP430G2 Launch Pad to program the devices on my PCBA?

I thought I could, but I'm not finding any specific information on how to do this.

Do I just remove the jumpers on J3 and connect TEST/RST/GND/VCC to my board?

This is really a naive question, but I need to program actual devices in circuit very soon.

Thanks,

Jeff Jensen

    That's how I do it for JTAG flashing, except that in my case the device itself is powered up, so Vcc isn't needed.  But actually, it's safer to get Vcc from the Launchpad so all the voltages will automatically be correct.  For software I use the command line MSP430Flasher.exe (SLAU654), but there is a GUI version called Uniflash, and perhaps other options.  Flasher also requires USB drivers be installed.  I think those are installed automatically by CCS, but can be installed separately.  It's all pretty straightforward.

    Thank you George! That relieves the anxiety of thinking I needed to order programming hardware (two weeks ago:-)
