MSP430I2040: EMDC can generate CCS code for MSP430i2040 Embedded Metering EVM

Part Number: MSP430I2040
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSP-EXP430F5529LP

Hi TI Team,

According to EMDC, we can generate the CCS code.

http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/EnergyMeasurementDesignCenter/1_30_00_00/release/EnergyMeasurementDesignCenter_1_30_00_00/docs/users_guide/html/Energy_Measurement_Technology_Guide_html/markdown/ch_designcenter.html

We only have MSP430i2040 Embedded Metering EVM but do not have the MSP-EXP430F5529LP (HID bridge) to the MSP-ISO (Isolation board).

Is it possible or need to have?

Regards,

Walter

Hi Walter,

the HID bridge and isolator are used for the communication and I'd encourage to follow our indication to use it. Besides that you'll probably have the MSP-FET to program your MSP430I2040 device (but please don't use it when your EVM is connected to high voltage).

This E2E thread includes a very good overview of the connections including PC, HID bridge, ISO and EVM and also provides links to useful FAQs.

You'll also find the necessary information in the Energy Measurement Technology Guide, Introduction Section, that you've already linked above.

Please let us know in case you have additional questions.

Best regards,

Britta

Hi Britta,

I just receive the HID board and isolation board and EVM from TI. Now I want to connect online if it works using EMDC in PC. Is it safe to connect to PC via UART while EVM have AC power?

Walter

Hi Britta,

I connected the MSP-EXP340F5529LP board + ISO board + EVM via USB of PC, it will show "No Connected HID devices".

I connected the MSP-EXP340F5529LP board only via USB of PC, it will show "No Connected HID devices".

Do I need to do anything in MSP-EXP340F5529LP board?

Regards,

Walter

This has been addressed in the following thread, so I'm marking this thread "Resolved". The MSP-EXP430F5529LP was not programmed with the provided HID bridge image (as described here in the EMDC Technology Guide).

MSP430I2040: MSP-EXP430F5529LP cannot detect as HID when using with Energy Monitoring DC
