To install the programming adapter hardware, perform the following steps:
1) Using the 9-pin SUB-D connector, connect the programming adapter to
the serial port (COM1−COM4) of the PC.
2) Connect an external power supply to the programming adapter. The
voltage of the power supply must be between 14 V and 20 V dc and must
provide a minimum of 200 mA of power. The center terminal of the supply
connector at the programming adapter is the plus pole.
3) The red LED on the programming adapter lights if the power supply is
properly connected. If the LED does not light and the power supply is
properly connected, check the F1 fuse on the programming adapter
printed-wire board (PWB).
4) The MSP430 devices, in a socket or on a PWB, should be connected to
the programming adapter through the 14-pin cable.
The programming adapter provides the selected supply voltage V
at pin
CC
14 of the 25-pin SUB-D connector, or at pin 2 of the 14-pin connector to
supply the MSP430 device. The signal name is VCC_MSP.
If an external supply voltage V
is used for the MSP430, the internal
CC
voltage VCC_MSP must be set to the same voltage level.

corner of the program window) or with the F1 function key.
Note 1: For some MSP430 family members, e.g., MSP430F2xxx devices,
portions of flash information memory are factory preprogrammed with
calibration data. Depending on which method is used for erasing the flash
memory, this calibration data may be erased. Should the calibration data be
conserved, it must be read out prior to the information memory erase or a flash
erase method that does not affect the calibration data memory locations must
be used. See the respective device data sheet for further information on
preprogrammed calibration data memory locations.
If it should be saved, the following erase options must not be used as the Info
memory will be entirely erased:
− Program with Erase Flash (flash-erase options: Main and Info Memory)
or
− Erase Flash by Device
Instead, Erase Flash by File or by Range should be used.

Content of PRGS430.ini File
2.2.4 Content of PRGS430.ini File
The last settings of the PRGS430 graphical user interface (GUI) are stored in
the .ini file before exiting the program. This information is stored under the
Program Device System section.
Additionally, the following parameters are in the [Options] section and may be
modified:
[Options]
\BlowFuse = 1 → The blow fuse button in the GUI is disabled to prevent
accidental blow of the irreversible fuse.
LastResult = 0 → If the program is called with command-line parameter, the
error code which is returned to the system when exiting the program is also
stored here.
2.2.5 Use of a [Project].ini File
Some default options could be changed within a [Project].ini file. This file has
to be in the same directory as the object code file. The following variables could
be defined or redefined there.
The name of the file should have the same name as the object file with the
extension .ini.
[ProgramDevice]
UserMemProtect = Start, Size
UserMemProtect2 = Start, Size
UserMemProtect3 = Start, Size
UserMemProtectn = Start, Size
DisableTIMemProtect = 0
Memory ranges defined in the UserMemProtect and UserMemProtect [n]
option are read out and reprogrammed after erase (flash device only). [n] could
be a number ≥2 and be in ascending order.
If a memory protection is activated in the device definition file from Texas
Instruments, it could be switched off with the DisableTIMemProtect = 1 option.

PRGS430.DLL—Description
2.4 PRGS430.DLL—Description
The PRGS430.dll is used to communicate with the MSP−PRGS430 hardware
and the connected MSP430 device.
The initialization of the PRGS430 should be done with the following sequence:
InitCom
SetDeviceType
SetV
CC
. InitTarget
. ...
. ReleaseTarget
ReleaseCom
Several examples showing how the DLL could be used are located in the
“DLL_Usage_Examples” subdirectory of the PRGS430 system.
This dll could be used separately using the following conventions:
/FN0001/ InitCom
long int InitCom(char* lpszComPort, long int lBaudRate)
InitCom initializes (opens) the given communications port, establishes
communication with the PRGS430 hardware, and sets the baud rate of the
MSP−PRGS430. If successful, the MSP−PRGS430 is reset and V
is set to
CC
0.0 V (the voltage should be set after the first user action to validate the correct
value).
lBaudRate: valid baud rates are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 56800, and 115200
baud. The default baud rate after installation is 115200 baud.
lpszComPort: the name of the communication port—COM1, COM2, COM3,
or COM4.
Example: lFuncReturn = InitCom(”COM1” 115200)
/FN0002/ ReleaseCom
long int ReleaseCom (void)
This new function is the counterpart to InitCom. It allows to close a
communication with the MSP-PRGS430 hardware.
V
is set to 0 and all outputs are set to the Hi-Z state.
CC
Example: IFuncReturn = ReleaseComm()
/FN0003/ SetDeviceType
Example:
lFuncReturn = SetDeviceType(char* lpszDeviceName)
Selects the device type.
lpszDeviceName: name of the device in file device.cfg
Example: lFuncReturn = SetDeviceType(”MSP430F1121”)
Operation
2-13

PRGS430.DLL—Description
/FN0004/ InitTarget
long int InitTarget(char* lpszDeviceName)
Initializes the JTAG access to the target device, detects the device type, and
reports when the detected device does not match the parameter DeviceName
passed.
lpszDeviceName: name of the device in file device.cfg
Example: lFuncReturn = InitTarget (”MSP430F1121”)
/FN0005/ ReleaseTarget
long int ReleaseTarget(void)
This function performs a PUC and releases the JTAG access to the target
device. All JTAG signals from the serial programming adapter are switched to
Hi-Z. The device starts program execution if it is still connected to V
.
CC
Example: lFuncReturn = ReleaseTarget()
/FN0006/ Erase
long int Erase(long int wStart, long int wLength, long int Flags)
This function erases flash memory (if available). The protection of areas can
be disabled by setting the DISABLE_TI_MEM_PROTECT−Bit in Flags.
wStart: start address of the area to be erased. Allowed values :
0x0000−0xFFFE (see memory map of the corresponding device)
wLength: length of the area. Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE (see the
memory map of the corresponding device)
If erasing information and main memory segments, first erase the information
memory segments, then erase the main memory segments.
The mass erase sequence then would be:
Erase(InfoStart,InfoLength,0);
Erase(MainStart,MainLength,0);
The function invokes a mass erase for information or main memory if the start
address and the complete memory range of the information or main memory
is specified. If the range specified is not complete for that device, a segment
erase of the individual segments is performed.
Flags
DISABLE_TI_MEM_PROTECT (0x01)
If this bit is set, the memory protection settings in device.cfg are ignored.
Example:
lFuncReturn = Erase(long:0xF000, long:0x1000, long:1)

PRGS430.DLL—Description
Note: For some MSP430 family members, e.g., MSP430F2xxx devices, portions of
flash information memory are factory preprogrammed with calibration data. Depending
on which method is used for erasing the flash memory, this calibration data may be
erased. Should the calibration data be conserved, it must be read out prior to the
information memory erase or a flash erase method that does not affect the calibration
data memory locations must be used. See the respective device data sheet for further
information on preprogrammed calibration data memory locations.
/FN0007/ EraseFile
long int EraseFile(char* lpszFileName, long int iFileType, long int Flags, char*
lpszProjectIni)
EraseFile() erases all addresses used in the specified file.
iFileType:
FILETYPE_AUTO
(0x00) − Autodetection of file type (Intel-hex or
TI-TXT)
FILETYPE_TI_TXT
(0x01) − File type is TI-TXT
FILETYPE_INTEL_HEX(0x02) − File type is Intel-hex
Flags:
DISABLE_TI_MEM_PROTECT (0x01)
If this bit is set, the memory protection setting device.cfg is ignored.
lpszProjectIni: name of the {project}.ini file, if protection settings from this file
shall be used. If there is no protection, replace lpszProjectIni with NULL.
Example:
lFuncReturn = EraseFile(”text.txt”, long:0, long:0,
NULL)
Note: For some MSP430 family members, e.g. MSP430F2xxx devices, portions of
flash information memory are factory preprogrammed with calibration data. Depending
on which method is used for erasing the flash memory, this calibration data may be
erased. Should the calibration data be conserved, it must be read out prior to the
information memory erase or a flash erase method that does not affect the calibration
data memory locations must be used. See the respective device data sheet for further
information on preprogrammed calibration data memory locations.

3.2 Basic Hints
These basic hints are useful for programming MSP430 devices or MSP430
devices on printed-wire boards (PWB).
- All V
pins of an MSP430 device are tied together and connected to the
most positive terminal of the supply.
CC
- All V pins of an MSP430 device are tied together and connected to the
SS
most negative terminal of the supply.
- The interface should supply the MSP430 with proper conditions according
to the device data sheet, in terms of current, voltage levels, and timing
conditions.
- Make sure the proper signal connections (see Section 3.3) are made.
- Short cables to interconnect the interface to the MSP430 device or PWB;
less than 20 cm is recommended.
- Ensure low-impedance interconnections − especially for the path of the
programming and fuse blow voltage.
- When a device with a transparent window (MSP430E3xx family) is
programmed, the window should be already covered with an opaque label
while the device is programmed. Since ambient light contains the correct
wavelength for erasure, keep the transparent window covered after the
device is programmed.

Programming Adapter Target Connector Signals
3.3 Programming Adapter Target Connector Signals
The target connector signals for the programming adapter ensure
communication between the programming adapter and MSP430 devices and
supply low energy to systems without extra supply sources.
Figure 3−1 and Figure 3−2 show the target connector signals for the
programming adapter.

Chapters 1 and 2 of this manual.
- The connections from the MSP430 terminals must follow EMI rules, such
as short lines and ground planes. If TMS line receives one negative pulse
by EMI strike, the fuse current is activated (with fuse version 1.0). The fuse
current flows from TDI(/VPP) pin to GND (or VSS).

The RST/NMI terminal on the MSP430 device has to be held high by an
external resistor during access of the device through JTAG. In a noisy
environment, consider using an additional capacitor from RST/NMI to VSS.
Note:
The example schematic shows a system where the target voltage is supplied
by the MSP−PRGS430. For in-system programming with an external supply
voltage, do not connect pin 2 of the JTAG connector. In this case, the supply
voltage setting in the PRGS430 must be adjusted to the external supply
voltage level. The TEST/VPP connection is only required on lower pin-count
devices with multiplexed JTAG pins.

Interconnection of MSP−PRGS430 to Flash-Based MSP430 Devices
3.7 Interconnection of MSP−PRGS430 to Flash-Based MSP430 Devices
The circuit diagram in Figure 3−5 shows the connections required to program
flash-based MSP430 devices (MSP430Fxxx) with the MSP−PRGS430
programming adapter. Consult the device data sheet for the specific device
location of the power supply and JTAG pins. Ensure that all positive and
negative power supply pins are connected together.
The signal TEST/VPP is only required on lower pin-count devices with
multiplexed JTAG pins. In this case, special attention must be given to the
circuit design around the four JTAG pins (TDO/TDI, TDI, TMS, and TCK), since
they are shared between the applications hardware and the JTAG interface
used by programming adapter.

Intel-Hex Object Format
A.1 Intel-Hex Object Format
The Intel-hex object format supports 16-bit addresses and consists of a
nine-character (four field) prefix that defines the start of record, byte count,
load address, record type, and a two character sumcheck suffix.
The two record types, which are represented in the nine-character prefix, are
described below:
00 = Data record (begins with the colon start character)
01 = End-of-file record
Record type 00, the data record, begins with the colon (:) start character and
is followed by the byte count, the address of the first data byte, the record type
(00), and the sumcheck. The sumcheck is the 2s complement (in binary) of the
preceding bytes in the record, including the byte count, address, and data
bytes.
Record type 01, the end-of-file record, also begins with the colon (:) start
character. The colon is followed by the byte count, address, record type (01),
and sumcheck.
