    Hi,

      The RF430FRL152HEVM User's Guide has all the information (e.g. board settings and connections and software for the host processor MSP-EXP430GTE2 as well as GUI tool running on the PC) on how to bring up a demo.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response. I have gone through the RF430FRL152HEVM User's Guide. In the guide, it mentions using the interfacing GUI to connect by clicking on "Connect to TRF7970AEVM". In the Setup Tab, under "Target Device Selection", I have selected RF430FRL152HEVM, but under "Interface Device Selection", I am unable to find " TRF7970A + MSP-EXP430GTE2 ".

    Under "Interface Device Selection," I could find "TRF7970ABP+MSP430G2553", after selecting that option by clicking on "Connect to MSP430G2553+TRF7970ABP" button, connection is not being established,( i.e., button text is not changing to "Disconnect from MSP430G2553+TRF7970ABP ").

    Could you please provide further guidance on troubleshooting this issue or suggest any additional steps to ensure the connection.

    Hi, 

      Your selection for TRF7970ABP+MSP430G2553 is correct. One important thing is that the jumper orientation for the TXD and RXD must be in horizontal position as to enable hardware UART. This is mentioned in the user's guide. I suppose you have loaded the firmware to MSP-EXP430GTE2 board, correct? If you have not done so, you need to load the software collateral that is provided in the user's guide. Download the host firmware from https://www.ti.com/tool/download/SLOC346.
