1.1 IntroductionThe 16-MHz MSP430FR2476 MCU features 64KB of embedded ferroelectric random access memory(FRAM), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and high speed writeaccess. Combined with 8KB of on-chip RAM, users have access to 64KB of memory to split between theirprogram and data as required. For example, a data logging application could require a large data memorywith relatively small program memory, so the memory can be allocated as required between program anddata memory.
Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 40-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers, which support a widerange of available BoosterPack plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity,graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. Design your own BoosterPack plug-in moduleor choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers.
Free software development tools are also available, such as TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench® IDE. Both of these IDEs support EnergyTrace™ technologyfor real-time power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430FR2476 LaunchPaddevelopment kit.

1.4.2 Running the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)The OOBE of the LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit demonstrates how to implement asimple thermometer by using the internal ADC of the MSP430FR2476 MCU to measure the output voltagefrom an analog temperature sensor.
When powering up the Out-of-Box demo, the board performs an initial temperature calibration andilluminates RGB LED2 in a green color. Try to heat the temperature sensor U1 by blowing hot air on it tosee if you can get LED2 to turn red or using a compressed air can to blow cold air onto the sensor to seeLED2 turn blue. LED2 indicates the relative difference between the current temperature and the calibratedmeasurement.
Press button S1 to recalibrate the temperature to the most recent measurement and send a UARTmessage (at 9600 baud) containing the new calibrated temperature through the backchannel UART. Pressbutton S2 at any time to send a UART message containing the current ambient temperature measurementin Celsius.
1.5 Next Steps: Looking Into the Provided CodeAfter the EVM features have been explored, the fun can begin. It’s time to open an integrateddevelopment environment and start editing the code examples. See Section 4 for available IDEs andwhere to download them.
The quickest way to get started using the LaunchPad development kit is to use TI’s cloud developmenttools. The cloud-based Resource Explorer provides access to all of the examples and resources inMSP430Ware software.

2.2.2 eZ-FET Onboard Debug Probe With EnergyTrace™ TechnologyTo keep development easy and cost effective, TI’s LaunchPad development kits integrate an onboarddebug probe, which eliminates the need for expensive programmers. The LP-MSP430FR2476 has the eZ-FET debug probe (see Figure 5), which is a simple and low-cost debugger that supports all MSP430™device derivatives.
Figure 5. eZ-FET Debug Probe
The LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit features EnergyTrace technology but does not havesupport for EnergyTrace++ technology. The EnergyTrace technology functionality varies across the MSPportfolio (see Table 1).

The dotted line through J101 shown in Figure 5 divides the eZ-FET debug probe from the target area. Thesignals that cross this line can be disconnected by jumpers on J101, the isolation jumper block. For moredetails on the isolation jumper block, see Section 2.2.3.
The eZ-FET also provides a backchannel UART-over-USB connection with the host, which can be veryuseful during debugging and for easy communication with a PC. For more details on this connection, seeSection 2.2.4.
The eZ-FET hardware schematics are available in Section 6 and in the hardware design files downloadpage. For more information on the software and the debugger, visit the eZ-FET wiki.

2.2.3 Debug Probe Connection: Isolation Jumper BlockThe isolation jumper block at jumper J101 lets you connect or disconnect signals that cross from the eZ-FET domain into the MSP430FR2476 target domain. This includes eZ-FET Spy-Bi-Wire signals,application UART signals, and 3.3-V and 5-V power.
Reasons to open these connections:• To remove any and all influence from the eZ-FET debug probe for high accuracy target power
measurements• To control 3-V and 5-V power flow between the eZ-FET and target domains• To expose the target MCU pins for uses other than onboard debugging and application UART
communication• To expose the programming and UART interface of the eZ-FET to use it for devices other than the
onboard MCU• To select the CR2032 battery holder as the 3-V source

Figure 6. eZ-FET Isolation Jumper Block Diagram
2.2.4 Application (or Backchannel) UARTThe backchannel UART allows communication with the USB host that is not part of the target application’smain functionality. This is very useful during development and also provides a communication channel tothe host PC. Data from this communication channel can be used to create a graphical user interface (GUI)or other programs on the PC that communicate with the LaunchPad development kit.
Figure 6 shows the pathway of the backchannel UART. The backchannel UART is the UART oneUSCI_A0.
A virtual COM port for the application backchannel UART is generated on the host when the LaunchPaddevelopment kit enumerates on the host. You can use any PC application that interfaces with COM ports,including terminal applications like Hyperterminal or Docklight, to open this port and communicate with thetarget application. You need to identify the COM port for the backchannel. On Windows PCs, DeviceManager can assist.

MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (LP‑MSP430FR2476)
The backchannel UART is the "MSP Application UART1" port. In this case, Figure 7 shows COM13, butthis port can vary from one host PC to the next. After you identify the correct COM port, configure it inyour host application according to its documentation. You can then open the port and begincommunication to it from the host.
On the target MSP430FR2476 MCU, the backchannel is connected to the eUSCI_A0 module. The eZ-FEThas a configurable baud rate, and it is important to configure the PC application with the same baud rateas the eUSCI_A0.
2.2.5 Special Features
2.2.5.1 TMP235 Temperature SensorThe MSP430FR2476 MCU LaunchPad development kit features a TMP235A2 temperature sensor that isaccurate to ±0.5°C (typical) from –40°C to +150°C. The analog output of the TMP235 is connected toanalog input A1 (P1.1) on the MSP430FR2476 through a capacitor (C7) and a pair of resistors (R12 andR13). The capacitor and resistors can be replaced if a custom RC circuit is needed. For applications thatuse the temperature sensor and a connected BoosterPack plug-in module, determine if there are any pinconflicts. The 3.3-V power rail can be disconnected from the TMP235 device by removing the shuntjumper at J9. This is useful in low-power applications that do not use the temperature sensor.
2.2.5.2 CR2032 Coin Cell BatteryOn the back of the LP-MSP430FR2476 board is a holder for a CR2032 coin cell battery (battery notincluded). A CR2032 battery can be added to demonstrate battery-powered applications. SeeSection 2.3.2 for additional details on how to power the LaunchPad development kit with the coin cellbattery.
2.3 PowerThe board accommodates various powering methods, including through the onboard eZ-FET, using theCR2032 battery, or using external or BoosterPack plug-in module power (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. LP-MSP430FR2476 Power Block Diagram
2.3.1 eZ-FET USB PowerThe most common power-supply scenario is from USB through the eZ-FET debugger. This provides 5-Vpower from the USB and also regulates this power rail to 3.3 V for eZ-FET operation and 3.3 V to thetarget side of the LaunchPad development kit. Power from the eZ-FET is controlled by jumper J101. For3.3 V, make sure that a jumper is connected across the J101 3V3 terminal.

MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (LP‑MSP430FR2476)
2.3.2 CR2032 Battery PowerA CR2032 battery holder is on the back of the LP-MSP430FR2476 board to power the LaunchPaddevelopment kit from a single coin battery. To power the LaunchPad kit from the CR2032 coin cell, insertthe battery securely and in the correct orientation, and remove all of the shunt jumpers from J101 exceptthe 3V3 jumper. Place the 3V3 jumper in the lower configuration to connect the battery output to the targetside 3.3-V rail. This placement is also shown on the silkscreen on the PCB. Place a shunt jumper acrossJ10. Alternatively, place an ammeter across the pins of J10 to measure current out of the battery.
Do not use the eZ-FET emulation circuit when the LP-MSP430FR2476 is powered from the CR2032 coincell battery. Remove all of the shunt jumpers on J101 except the 3V3 (which is in the lower position) todisconnect the eZ-FET circuit from the target side of the LaunchPad development kit. The CR2032 voltagelevel will decrease with use and can cause voltage level violations on the eZ-FET portion of the design ifleft connected. To debug the target device, the LaunchPad development kit should be configured for eZ-FET USB Power as shown in Section 2.3.1
When not using the CR2032 battery to power the board, be sure the 3V3 shunt jumper on J101 is notplaced in the battery configuration. It is also useful to remove the jumper from J10 to disconnect thebattery from the rest of the power domains. This ensures there is no risk of applying an external voltagesource to the battery.
2.3.3 BoosterPack Plug-in Module and External Power SupplyHeaders J6 is present on the board to supply external power directly. It is important to comply with thedevice voltage operation specifications when supplying external power. The MSP430FR2476 has anoperating range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. More information can be found in the MSP430FR247x Mixed-SignalMicrocontrollers data sheet.
2.4 Measure Current Draw of the MSP430 MCUTo measure the current draw of the MSP430FR2476 MCU using a multimeter, use the 3V3 jumper on theJ101 jumper isolation block. The current measured includes the target device and any current drawnthrough the BoosterPack plug-in module headers.
To measure ultra-low power, follow these steps:• Remove the 3V3 jumper in the J101 isolation block, and attach an ammeter across this jumper. Be
sure to use the correct pair of pins as outlined in Section 2.3 to select between eZ-FET power andCR2032 power.
• Consider the effect that the backchannel UART and any circuitry attached to the MSP430FR2476 canhave on current draw. Consider disconnecting these at the isolation jumper block, or at least considertheir current sinking and sourcing capability in the final measurement.
• If using the CR2032 to supply power, remove all shunt jumpers at J101, except 3V3 in the lowerposition, and connect J10 with a shunt jumper.
• Make sure there are no floating inputs/outputs (I/Os) on the MSP430FR2476. These causeunnecessary extra current draw. Every I/O should either be driven out or, if it is an input, should bepulled or driven to a high or low level.
• Begin target execution.• Measure the current. Keep in mind that if the current levels are fluctuating, it may be difficult to get a
stable measurement. It is easier to measure quiescent states.
EnergyTrace technology can also be used to compare various current profiles and better optimize yourenergy performance.

2.5 ClockingThe LP-MSP430FR2476 provides an external clock in addition to the internal clocks in the device.• Q1: 32.768-kHz 12.5-pF crystal
The 32.768-kHz crystal allows for lower LPM sleep currents than do the other low-frequency clocksources. Therefore, the presence of the crystal allows the full range of low-power modes to be used.
The internal clocks in the device default to the following configuration:• MCLK: DCO at 1 MHz• SMCLK: DCO at 1 MHz• ACLK: REFO at 32.768 kHz
For more information about configuring internal clocks and using the external oscillators, see theMSP430FR4xx and MSP430FR2xx Family User's Guide.
2.6 Using the eZ-FET Debug Probe With a Different TargetThe eZ-FET debug probe on the LaunchPad development kit can interface to most MSP430 MCUs, notjust the onboard MSP430FR2476 target device.
To interface to another MCU, disconnect all jumpers in the isolation jumper block. This is necessarybecause the debug probe cannot connect to more than one target at a time over the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW)connection.
Next, make sure the target board has proper connections for SBW. To be compatible with SBW, thecapacitor on RST/SBWTDIO must be 2.2 nF or less. For documentation on designing MSP430 JTAGinterface circuitry, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide.
Finally, wire together the following signals from the debug probe side of the isolation jumper block to thetarget hardware:• 5 V (if 5 V is needed)• 3.3 V• GND• SBWTDIO• SBWTCK• TXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used)• RXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used)
This wiring can be done either with jumper wires or by designing the board with a connector that plugs intothe isolation jumper block.
2.7 BoosterPack Plug-in Module PinoutThe LaunchPad development kit adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit pinout standard. Thisstandard was created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-inmodules across the TI ecosystem.
While most BoosterPack plug-in modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit is compatible with all 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in modulesthat are compliant with the standard. If the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack plug-in module does notexplicitly indicate compatibility with the LP-MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit, compare theschematic of the candidate BoosterPack plug-in module with the LaunchPad development kit to ensurecompatibility. Keep in mind that sometimes conflicts can be resolved by changing the MSP430FR2476device pin function configuration in software.

Figure 9. BoosterPack Checker Tool
To check the compatibility of a BoosterPack plug-in module with the LaunchPad development kit of yourchoice, use the BoosterPack Checker Tool. This allows you to select any LaunchPad development kit thatTI offers and determine its compatibility with any number of BoosterPack plug-in modules that we offer.You can also add your own BoosterPack plug-in module to check its compatibility as you prototype thatnext design.
Figure 10 shows the 40-pin pinout of the MSP430FR2476 LaunchPad development kit.
Note that software's configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPaddevelopment kit side of the dashed line shows only the applicable function for conforming to the standard.However, each pin has other functionality that can be configured by the software. See theMSP430FR2476 device data sheet for more details on individual pin functions.

5 FAQQ: I can’t get the backchannel UART to connect. What’s wrong?A: Check the following:• Do the baud rate in the host terminal application and the eUSCI settings match?• Are the appropriate jumpers in place on the isolation jumper block?• Probe on RXD and send data from the host. If you don’t see data, it might be a problem on the host
side.• Probe on TXD while sending data from the MSP430 MCU. If you don’t see data, it might be a
configuration problem with the eUSCI module.• Consider the use of the hardware flow control lines (especially for higher baud rates).
Q: The MSP430G2 LaunchPad development kit had a socket, allowing me change the target device.Why doesn’t this LaunchPad development kit use one?A: The target device on this LaunchPad development kit does not come in a dual in-line package. Socketsfor the available device package are too expensive for this kit’s target price.
