    Getting Started With MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Getting Started The first time the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit is used, a demo application automatically starts as soon as the board is powered from the USB host. To start the demo, connect the MSP- EXP430G2 LaunchPad with the included mini USB cable to a free USB port.

    Section 2 offer support for the whole MSP430G2xx Value Line. The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad needs only a connection to the USB of the Host PC—there is no external hardware required. The power supply and the Spy-Bi-Wire JTAG signals TEST and RST must be connected with jumper J3 to allow the onboard emulation connection to the device.
  • Page 9: Disconnect Emulator From Target With Jumper J3

    VCC must be opened, and a multi meter can used on the VCC Jumper to measure the current of the MSP-EXP430G2 target device and its peripherals. The jumper J5 VCC also must be opened if the LaunchPad board is powered with an external power supply over J6 Table 1 or the eZ430 interface J4.
  • Page 10: Program Connected Ez430 Target Boards

    TEST and RST of J3 must be open. The interface to the eZ430 target board is always connected to the MSP-EXP430G2 emulator, so the programming and debugging of a connected LaunchPad target device is possible only if the eZ430 target is not connected on the same time. The application UART, on the other hand, is connected directly to the LaunchPad target device, and jumper J3 can be closed to monitor the transmission from the LaunchPad target to the attached eZ430.

    Connecting a Crystal Oscillator The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad offers a footprint for a variety of crystal oscillators. The XIN and XOUT signals of the LFXT1 oscillator can support low-frequency oscillators like a watch crystals of 32768 Hz or a standard crystal with a range defined in the associated data sheet. The signal lines XIN and XOUT can also be used as multipurpose I/Os or as a digital frequency input.

  • Page 24: Suggested Reading

    See MSP-FET430 Flash Emulation Tool User's Guide (SLAU138) for details on using MSP430 USB FET and the Gang Programmer for a 2-wire Spy-Bi-Wire interface. Do not try to connect the standard JTAG connector to the MSP-EXP430G2 pinheads, as this could result in damage to the attached hardware.
  • Page 25 If you are experiencing difficulties in communicating to the attached MSP430 target device, even though all the communication drivers for the MSP-EXP430G2 are loaded correctly, the emulator is probably set to a wrong communication state. This can be fixed by reconnecting the LaunchPad evaluation kit and restarting the communicating application.
