6.4 FET Target Boards
For every MSP430 device, TI provides simple evaluation boards called "FET target boards".

| USB-Equipped MSP430 Family | FET Target Board |
|---|---|
| MSP430F550x, MSP430F5510 | MSP-TS430RGC64USB |
| MSP430F552x | MSP-TS430RGC64USB |
| MSP-TS430PN80USB | |
| MSP430F563x, MSP430F663x | MSP-TS430PZ100USB |
| MSP430F565x, MSP430F665x | MSP-TS430PZ100USB |
FET target boards are available for every MSP430 derivative, not just the MSP430F5529. However, they do not have an on-board emulator, as the F5529 LaunchPad development kit and F5529 Experimenter's Board do; and so they require a FET Tool for emulation.
Figure 15. FET Tool (MSP-FET430UIF) Emulator The FET Tool interfaces to hardware using the 14-pin JTAG header shown at left in Figure 14.
FET target boards contain:
- A socket for the MSP430 device
- The minimum circuitry required for basic operation
- Two pushbuttons and an LED
- All of the MSP430 pins brought out to headers
- A USB connector
