Hardware Installation

For MSP-FET:

  1. Use the USB cable to connect the USB FET interface module to a USB port of your PC. The USB FET should be recognized instantly, as the USB device driver should have been installed with the KickStart software.
  2. If for any reason the Install Wizard starts, respond to the prompts and, when prompted, browse to the driver files that are located in <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\430\bin\WinXP. Detailed driver installation instructions can be found in the MSP Debuggers User's Guide.

  3. After connecting to a PC, the USB FET performs a self test during which the red LED flashes for about two seconds. After the self test passed successfully, the green LED lights permanently.
  4. Use the 14-pin cable to connect the USB FET interface module to the HPA338 board.
