Supported Devices 5 www.ti.com Supported Devices The eZ430-RF USB debugging interface may be used as a standard Flash Emulation Tool through its Spy-Bi-Wire interface. The eZ430-RF USB debugging interface supports the following MSP430 families: • MSP430F20xx • MSP430F22xx The connector on the USB debugging interface is backward compatible with the eZ430-F2013 and T2012 target boards. TX 3.6 V TEST/SBWTCK RST/SBWTDIO Supports eZ430-F2013 and T2012 target boards GND RX Figure 4.
Software Installation www.ti.com 7 Software Installation The CD-ROM includes two different development software tools for the MSP430: IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart and Code Composer Essentials (CCE). The term "KickStart" refers to the limited version of Embedded Workbench that allows up to 4 KB of C-code compilation. The included CCE is also limited, but it allows up to 16 KB of code compilation. The full version of CCE Pro offers unlimited code compilation and can be purchased from www.ti.com/msp430.
Demo – eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor 10 www.ti.com Demo – eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor eZ430-RF2500 is preloaded with a wireless temperature sensor network firmware and may be reprogrammed at any time. This network consists of an Access Point that measures its own temperature and also wirelessly receives temperature measurements from End Devices. End Devices measure their temperature once per second and then enter a low-power mode to reduce battery usage.
Demo – eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor www.ti.com Figure 7. IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart Workspace 4. Select Project → Debug in IAR to download the code for the target boards. 5. Select Debug → Go to start running code while in debug mode. 6. Select Debug → Stop Debugging exits the debug mode while leaving the target board executing code. 10.3 Demo Software GUI Setup 1. Ensure the Access Point is connected to the PC. 2. Apply power to the End Device. 3. Launch eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor Demo Visualizer.
Suggested Reading 11 www.ti.com Suggested Reading The primary sources of MSP430 information are the device-specific data sheets and user’s guides. The most up-to-date versions of the user’s guide documents available at the time of production have been provided on the CD-ROM included with this tool. The most current information is found at www.ti.com/msp430. Information specific to the eZ430-RF2500 development tool can be found at www.ti.com/ez430-rf.
www.ti.com Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 8. When trying to compiler the Sensor Monitor Demo project in IAR, I receive the following error: Error[e117]: Incompatible runtime models. Module ISR specifies that '__rt_version' must be '3', but module LHAL_GDOxHandlers has the value '2' Please use the latest version of the demo source code off the web (http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac139) and use IAR KickStart 4.x.

Detailed Hardware Installation Guide 14 www.ti.com Detailed Hardware Installation Guide 1. Insert the eZ430-RF2500 CD-ROM into a CD drive. 2. Install the eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor Demo Visualizer. It is available on the CD and online at http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac139. This installs the necessary drivers on your system. 3. Insert the eZ430-RF2500 into a USB port of the PC. 4. Windows should recognize the new hardware as Texas Instruments MSP-FET430UIF (see Figure 14).
Detailed Hardware Installation Guide www.ti.com 7. Select Install the software automatically (Recommended) (see Figure 17), if IAR KickStart R4.64 or higher has already been installed. Figure 17. Windows XP Hardware Wizard 8. The Wizard should find the appropriate driver for a Windows XP system; it shows a warning that Microsoft did not certify the driver. The drivers have been tested exhaustively, and this warning may be ignored. Click Continue Anyway (see Figure 18). Figure 18. Windows XP Warning 9.
