  • [SOLVED] Msp430F21xx family support

    Hi All,
    I see here that Jlink does support a subset of msp430, but not for my derivative and only for flashing. Of course we sould like to to debug and develop on such family using Jlink.

    Does this mean that via JTAG I will not be able to interact with the device?
    - If we purchase the jlink sdk would be able to write our own tools to connect and program the microcontrollers or...
    - ...does this meand that that there are no out of the box tools that allow to place breakpoints and manipulate registers, ram and/or flash on such family/derivative? or...
    - ... there is no way to make the jlink and msp430F21 interact in any way?


    thanks and
    K.R.

    Luca.

  • Hi,

    In the list you have sent a link to, none of the devices are supported by J-Link.
    J-Link supports debugging on the MSP0 and MSP432 derivatives (Cortex-M based)

    The “legacy” MSP430 are only supported by Flasher for production programming.
    No debug support.

    You may be lucky with J-Link + OpenOCD for MSP430 support though.
