Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5528, MSP-EXP430G2ET, ENERGYTRACE

Some additional features have been added, but we basically updated the debugger to the newest version.

Why in slau772 is MSP430F5528 based FET is named as eZ-FET, while in other LP's it is eZ-FET Lite? Is it the same FET with same open source updatable firmware? Why in slau772 is list of supported devices when it should work with all SBW devices?

    Hello zrno,

    I split this response out from the previous thread as it has changed topics.

    In reference to the MSP-EXP430G2ET:
    - the eZ-FET debugger on this board can program all MSP430 devices. This is explicitly stated in slau772 in section 2.2.2 . I believe the list of "supported" device sis in reference to Table 1 in the same section. This table is in reference on how EnergyTrace support and how different versions of EnergyTrace support different features (EnergyTrace vs EnergyTrace++).
    -- the move from MSP-EXP430G2 to MSP-EXP430G2ET was a move from eZ-FET LITE to eZ-FET debugger in order to add EnergyTrace among other features.

    In reference to eZ-FET vs eZ-FET Lite Hardware found on different Launchpads:
    - Both versions of eZ-FET are MSP430F5528 based and have similar Firmware and Hardware. However, there are differences between the normal and LITE versions, namely, the LITE version lacks the additional Hardware/Firmware needed in order to do EnergyTrace.
