1.3Kit Contents, MSP-FET430UIF

❏One READ ME FIRST document

❏One MSP430 CD-ROM

❏One MSP-FET430UIF interface module

❏One USB-Cable

❏One 14-conductor cable

1.4Software Installation

Follow the instructions on the supplied READ ME FIRST document to install the IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart. Read the file <Installation Root>\Embedded Workbench x.x\430\doc\readme.htm from IAR for the latest information about the Workbench. The term Kickstart is used to refer to the function-limited version of Embedded Workbench (including C-SPY debugger). Kickstart is supplied on the CD-ROM included with each FET, and the latest version is available from the MSP430 web site.

The above documents (and this document) can be accessed using:

START->PROGRAMS->IAR SYSTEMS->IAR EMBEDDED WORKBENCH

KICKSTART FOR MSP430 V3

Kickstart is compatible with WINDOWS 98, 2000, ME, NT4.0, and XP. However, the USB-FET-Interface works only with WINDOWS 2000 and XP.

1.5Hardware Installation, MSP-FET430X110

1)Connect the 25-conductor cable originating from the FET to the parallel port of your PC.

2)Ensure that the MSP430F1121AIDW is securely seated in the socket, and that its pin 1 (indicated with a circular indentation on the top surface) aligns with the “1” mark on the PCB.

3)Ensure that jumpers J1 (near the non-socketed IC on the FET) and J5 (near the LED) are in place. Pictorials of the FET and its parts are presented in Appendix B.
