MSP-FET430UI Flashing with CC430 in IAR

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F5137, SIMPLICITI

Hello

I have a MSP-FET430UIF debugger device with a full installation (not Kickstart) of IAR Embedded Workbench, along with a CC430 board (EM-CC430F5137-900) and would like to test my C application on the CC430.

There are "READ ME FIRST" directions (as well as this PDF http://www.ti.com/ww/cn/uprogram/share/pdfs/MSP-FET430_flash_emulation_tool_user_guide.pdf) that came with the FET430UIF, and at section 1.4, step 3), my IAR workspace only has msp430x1xx through msp430x6xx targets available. There is no reference to CC430 or FETxxx_1.

Is there a way to program the CC430 using this debugger kit?

Thanks

    The FET430UIF is merely the debugging interface between the PC/IAR and the CC430EM board.  Plug FET430UIF ribbon connector onto the CC430EM board and plug the USB cable into the FET430UIF and you PC.  The IAR IDE will be able to program the CC430 on the CC430EM board through the FET430UIF.

    I picked an arbitrary MSP430 family and IAR prompted me to update the firmware of the device. After updating, IAR experienced an error "Fatal error: Could not find device (or device not supported). Session aborted!"

    I went to the project options and the CC430 families appeared in the "Target Device" field. I selected the appropriate one "CC430F5137" and it gave the same error.

    Note that I am running the full version of IAR, not the Kickstart version. Is there any support for the CC430 with the full version of IAR?

    I believe I have solved the issue. The example applications under C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.0 Kickstart\430\FET_examples may only work for MSP430 devices. as I could not get them to download.

    With a full installation of IAR, a CC430 application can be programmed from the SimpliciTI software package. "...\SimpliciTI-IAR-1.1.1\Projects\Examples\CC430EM"
