Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
I'm new to the TI ecosystem, and I want to create a small project using the MSP430i2031 MCU that I would like to program (and debug) with the MSP-FET device I recently bought. Is the MSP-FET what I really want for this? Why does it call itself a "Flash Emulation Tool"? I don't want to emulate anything! I want to program and debug for real. Am I thinking too hard here? Also, I would really like to use the VisualGDB IDE instead of the CCS IDE. Can anyone here verify that VisualGDB works okay with the MSP-FET device? In any case, HOW do ya choose between 4-wire full JTAG and 2-wire JTAG (aka Spy-By-Wire), given that there is no switch on the MSP-FET device? Finally, does anyone have a COMPLETE MSP430i2031 project to share? This chip seems really simple, but an EXAMPLE is always worth a thousand manuals. Thanks.
