1.1 Software Installation
Use the latest software version, which can be downloaded from the MSP-GANG Production Programmer
tool folder. The MSP-GANG Programmer Software runs on Windows
®
32 bit or 64 bit: Windows XP,
Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
To install MSP Gang Programmer software:
1. Unzip the installation package.
2. Run setup.exe in the root directory of the package.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation process.
4. When the setup program finishes, click the MSP Gang Programmer Read Me First icon to read
important information about the MSP Gang Programmer.
5. The setup program also adds a program group and icons to the Windows desktop.
6. To start the MSP Gang Programmer software, click the icon.

Introduction
1.2 Driver Installation
To install the required drivers:
1. Connect the MSP-GANG programmer to a PC USB port. When the Windows wizard starts, follow the
instructions provided by wizard. When the wizard asks for the USB driver location, browse to the CD-
ROM drive. Drivers are in the main CD-ROM directory location and also in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\MSP-GANG\Driver
2. If the RS-232 interface is used for communication with MSP-GANG, the USB driver is not required.
Run the Windows Device Manager to find for the COM port number to use with communication through
RS-232.
1.3 Hardware Installation
To install the MSP Gang Programmer hardware:
1. Attach the expansion board (Gang Splitter) to the 100-pin connector on the MSP Gang Programmer.
The expansion board connects up to eight targets using the included 14-pin cables. The target
MSP430 flash devices can be in stand-alone sockets or can be on an application PCB. The MSP Gang
Programmer can connect to these devices through JTAG, SBW, or BSL signals.
If the target device is an MSP432 MCU, use the adapter kit (MSP-GANG-432ADPTR) to convert from
14-pin JTAG connectors to 20-pin Arm connectors.
2. Connect the MSP Gang Programmer hardware to the computer USB port using a USB A-B cable.
The USB port (5 V, 0.5 A) can supply the programmer.
If the computer does not have a USB port, connect the programmer to a serial port (COM1 to
COM255) using a 9-pin Sub-D connector.
3. If the MSP Gang Programmer is not connected through the USB port, or if the total current
consumption of the programmed target devices exceeds 0.3 A, connect an external power supply to
the programmer.
NOTE: External Power Supply
An external power supply must provide a voltage between 6 V and 10 V DC and must
provide a minimum current of 800 mA. The center post of the power supply connector on the
MSP Gang Programmer is the positive-voltage terminal. The programmer indicates the
status of the power supply connection by using system LEDs and the LCD back light.
NOTE: Maximum Signal Path Length: 50 cm
The maximum length of a signal path between the 14-pin JTAG or SBW connector on the
Gang Splitter and the target device is 50 cm.
4. The MSP Gang Programmer can supply power at a specified voltage V
CC
to each target device (pin 2
on each 14-pin JTAG, SBW, SWD, or BSL cable). The maximum current for each target device is
programmable to 30 mA or 50 mA. If the higher current limit is selected (50 mA) and eight target
devices are connected, then the total current to all devices can reach up to 400 mA. In this case, the
connect an external power supply to the MSP Gang Programmer. The USB cannot supply this current,
because the USB port maximum current is 0.5 A, and the MSP Gang Programmer uses 150 mA,
leaving 350 mA for the target devices.

Introduction
CAUTION
When an external power supply is used to power target devices, disconnect V
CC
from the targets to avoid power-supply conflicts that could potentially damage
the MSP Gang Programmer and the target devices.
When target devices are powered from an external power supply, connect the
V
CC
from the target device to V
extin
(pin 4) on the JTAG, SBW, SWD, or BSL
connectors. The MSP Gang Programmer uses this voltage to detect the
presence of an external power supply.
Set the desired V
CC
level in the MSP Gang Programmer to the same voltage
that powers the target device. This information is mandatory to provide correct
I/O levels for the TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO, and RST signals. If the wrong V
CC
is
provided, then the I/O levels between the programmer and target devices can
be too low or too high, and communication can be unreliable.
5. The MSP Gang Programmer can be supplied from an external power supply connected to the DC
connector or through a gang splitter (not populated J10 connector). Because the J10 and DC
connectors are connected in parallel, make sure that only one connector provides an external power
supply to the MSP Gang Programmer.
