MSP430G2553: SPI-By-Wire Programming Requirements?

William Stevers

Part Number: MSP430G2553
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430G2ET,

I am working on an embedded design that will use the MSP430 as the main controller.  Specifically, I plan on using this part.  I am currently using the PDIP version of the MSP430G2553.  I have this MSP430 on a perfboard and I can program it via SPI-By-Wire when I use the MSP-EXP430G2ET LaunchPad emulator as the programmer. 

If I have the same external bypass caps and Reset resistor (as per the datasheet) and a header for the Power, GND, Reset, and Vtest pins, can I also program the MSP430 I linked above via SPI-By-Wire?  I am pretty sure I can because it works with the PDIP package, I just want to double check before I commit myself to a PCB.

Follow up question, is it possible to use the MSP-EXP430G2ET LaunchPad emulator to program other MSP430s via SPI-By-Wire so long as I select the proper target board in the IDE?  Right now I am only using the G2553 because it is what came with the LaunchPad.  Another MSP430 device might actually be better for my design...

    LP's are open software / hardware master devices that can program any MSP430 by SBW interface. On board one, or off board with broken connection between master an on board default device.

    William,

    As long as you have the proper signals routed to headers on your custom board so that you can bridge the connection from the programmer on the LP to your board you should be able to program it using the LP.

    And yes you will want to select the proper device that you will be programming.

    Best regards,

    Matt
