Frequently Asked Questions

6.2 Question: Can I use single wires for connection between MSP-GANG and target device?

Answer: Single wires are a poor type of connection and provide very bad quality. Single wires work like

inductors connected between the MSP-GANG and target device, generating ripples on the target device

side. If a ribbon cable cannot be used, then a twisted-pairs connection should be used instead. One wire

on each twisted pair should be connected to a signal connection (for example, TDI or TCK), and the

second wire connected to DC (GND or V

) from both sides of the connection (one on the MSP-GANG

side and the other on the target device side). For example, the following arrangement is acceptable:

1 - TDO (Signal wire) - first twisted pair

1 - Vcc / Vcc sense (DC wire)

2 - TDI (Signal wire) - second twisted pair

2 - Vcc sense (DC wire)

3 - TMS (Signal wire) - third twisted pair

3 - RESET (DC wire)

4 - TCK (Signal wire) - fourth twisted pair

4 - GND (DC wire)

If additional protecting components (such as a capacitor or suppressors) are used on the target device

PCB, check the JTAG signal shape on the MSP MCU. The JTAG communication speed should be

decreased (set to medium or slow) if required. Make sure that any ripple on the JTAG lines is smaller than

20% of the peak-to-peak signal level.

If connection cables are longer than 40 cm, then the ripple can be reduced by inserting 33-Ω resistors in

series with TCK, TMS, and TDO in the middle of the connection wires. Do not provide series resistors in

TEST and TDI lines if the device will be secured (blown the security fuse) for MSP families 1xx, 2xx, and

4xx. For blowing the security fuse in these devices, the programmer provides Vpp 6.5 V at 100 mA on the

TEST or TDI lines to MSP MCU. An additional resistor inserted in these lines can reduce the maximum

current provided to the MCU and the security fuse will not be blown.

6.3 Question: How to serialize parts?

Answer: The MSP-GANG GUI does not provide serialization; however, the provided MSP-GANG.dll allows

to program unique data (for example, calibration or serialization) to each target device. An example to

implement serialization using MSP-GANG.dll is available in this directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\MSP-GANG\Examples\CPP_Applications_MSP_DLL

6.4 Question: How to have parts run after programming?

Answer: By default in the MSP-GANG Programmer, the RESET line is forced to low level, which prevents

the target device running after being programmed. But that option can be modified using the pulldown

menu:

• Setup > Finish Action

and selecting one of the options:

• Hardware reset (RST line) and start the application program

• OFF/ON the V

and start the application program

Application Program Run time is programmable from 1 to 120 seconds or infinite time.

6.5 Question: What are possible reasons for the part to fail Verify step?

Answer: If the part was programmed and verified in the GO step, and after the second time the Verify step

failed, then in most cases the firmware is modifying flash contents when running for the first time. Usually

the Info memory is modified in that case. Ask your software team if the firmware downloaded to the MCU

is modifying the flash after the first run. If that is the case, then the firmware should be modified to contain

only unmodified contents in the code file. To compare the code file contents and flash data (if modified),

use this option from the pulldown menu:

• View > Compare Code File and Flash Data

STANDARD TERMS FOR EVALUATION MODULES

1. Delivery: TI delivers TI evaluation boards, kits, or modules, including any accompanying demonstration software, components, and/or

documentation which may be provided together or separately (collectively, an “EVM” or “EVMs”) to the User (“User”) in accordance

with the terms set forth herein. User's acceptance of the EVM is expressly subject to the following terms.

1.1 EVMs are intended solely for product or software developers for use in a research and development setting to facilitate feasibility

evaluation, experimentation, or scientific analysis of TI semiconductors products. EVMs have no direct function and are not

finished products. EVMs shall not be directly or indirectly assembled as a part or subassembly in any finished product. For

clarification, any software or software tools provided with the EVM (“Software”) shall not be subject to the terms and conditions

set forth herein but rather shall be subject to the applicable terms that accompany such Software

1.2 EVMs are not intended for consumer or household use. EVMs may not be sold, sublicensed, leased, rented, loaned, assigned,

or otherwise distributed for commercial purposes by Users, in whole or in part, or used in any finished product or production

system.

2 Limited Warranty and Related Remedies/Disclaimers:

2.1 These terms do not apply to Software. The warranty, if any, for Software is covered in the applicable Software License

Agreement.

2.2 TI warrants that the TI EVM will conform to TI's published specifications for ninety (90) days after the date TI delivers such EVM

to User. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TI shall not be liable for a nonconforming EVM if (a) the nonconformity was caused by

neglect, misuse or mistreatment by an entity other than TI, including improper installation or testing, or for any EVMs that have

been altered or modified in any way by an entity other than TI, (b) the nonconformity resulted from User's design, specifications

or instructions for such EVMs or improper system design, or (c) User has not paid on time. Testing and other quality control

techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary. TI does not test all parameters of each EVM.

User's claims against TI under this Section 2 are void if User fails to notify TI of any apparent defects in the EVMs within ten (10)

business days after delivery, or of any hidden defects with ten (10) business days after the defect has been detected.

2.3 TI's sole liability shall be at its option to repair or replace EVMs that fail to conform to the warranty set forth above, or credit

User's account for such EVM. TI's liability under this warranty shall be limited to EVMs that are returned during the warranty

period to the address designated by TI and that are determined by TI not to conform to such warranty. If TI elects to repair or

replace such EVM, TI shall have a reasonable time to repair such EVM or provide replacements. Repaired EVMs shall be

warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Replaced EVMs shall be warranted for a new full ninety (90) day

warranty period.

WARNING

Evaluation Kits are intended solely for use by technically qualified,

professional electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers

and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical

components, systems, and subsystems.

User shall operate the Evaluation Kit within TI’s recommended

guidelines and any applicable legal or environmental requirements

as well as reasonable and customary safeguards. Failure to set up

and/or operate the Evaluation Kit within TI’s recommended

guidelines may result in personal injury or death or property

damage. Proper set up entails following TI’s instructions for

electrical ratings of interface circuits such as input, output and

electrical loads.

NOTE:

EXPOSURE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) MAY CAUSE DEGREDATION OR FAILURE OF THE EVALUATION

KIT; TI RECOMMENDS STORAGE OF THE EVALUATION KIT IN A PROTECTIVE ESD BAG.
