Forum Post: RE: using ez-fet to program a different target

Chris, I think there are a couple of points of clarity that I can shed on the problems you are having. First, the name for the SBW pins. There is some ambiguity in the naming here because these pins are multi function pins, and it seems everyone has a slightly different version of the abbreviated name they use. The two signal pins used for Spy-Bi-Wire programming are the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins, specifically in the SBWTDIO and SBWTCK configurations. Since typing or saying those full signal names becomes quickly excessive, a lot of folks refer to them as SBWTDIO and SBWTCK. Sometimes, however, they are referred to just as TEST (or TST) and RESET (or RST), which is what the F5529LP does. The LaunchPad does add a "SBW" label in front of the "TST" and "RST" to signify that these pins are being used in the SBW configuration. So, in summary, SBW RST is the same signal/wire as SBWTDIO and SBW TST is the same as SBWTCK. On the Energia connection problem, this line in the debug message, "error: MSP430: Error connecting to the target: Unknown device" typically means that the SBW communication was never able to get a response from the target device. Please double check the SBWTCK and SBWTDIO lines are connected correctly, as well as 3.3V and GND. I suspect something is not connected correctly in your setup. Also, on the UART connections, please note that the TXD and RXD labels refer to the UART pins on the MSP430F5529 on the LaunchPad, and not the eZ-FET. So if you need these signals for your external target, the new target MSP's TXD pin should connect to the TXD labeled jumper, and not the RXD jumper. The same is true for the RXD signal. This will correctly connect to the RXD and TXD pins on the eZ-FET. One final note. You should be connecting to the top row on the jumpers, on the eZ-FET side, and not the target side with the F5529. [quote user="Chris from Pinterec"]Are you guys doing design reviews when you design the launchpad boards? This is rev 1.6! Did you even test this? [/quote] I helped design and review this board, so yes, I can assure you that the silkscreen is correct and that we did test this. I have used the F5529LP as a programmer from other devices many times, and can verify that it does work. Mike
