NOTE
This procedure works only with the eZ430 emulator (Black) supplied with the eZ430-Chronos™ software development tool. eZ430 emulators supplied with eZ430-F2013 (Blue) and eZ430-RF2500 (Red) are NOT able to program this daughterboard, as they do not contain the firmware for programming 5xx devices. Only the black eZ430-Chronos emulator can program this daughterboard out-of-the-box.
The eZ430 emulator Interface uses the Spy-Bi-Wire JTAG protocol to power and program the hardware. It uses only two wires, along with VDD and GND, for programming the target MSP430 device. The target voltage, however, is fixed at 3.6 V and there is limited debug capability when compared to the FET JTAG debugger. Nonetheless, the small USB stick form-factor of a six-pin header with low cost has made this emulator very popular.
The following steps should be performed with the eZ430 emulator interface to power and program the board:
Power indicator LED D2 should light up. Pressing the Debug button in the IDE environment downloads the program on the hardware for debug and testing.
