The MSP debug stack (MSPDS) for all MSP430™ microcontrollers (MCUs) and SimpleLink™ MSP432™ devices consists of a static library on the host system side as well as an embedded firmware that runs on debug tools including the MSP-FET, MSP-FET430UIF or on-board eZ debuggers. It is the bridging element between all PC software and all MSP430 and SimpleLink MSP432 microcontroller derivatives and handles tasks such as code download, stepping through code or break points. Official reference can be found here.
You can configure debugging tool using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = mspdebug
If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change upload protocol:
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = mspdebug
upload_protocol = mspdebug
More options:
Please “USB Driver Installation” guide for your board.
Not required.
Please install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules. If you already installed them before, please check that your rules are up-to-date or repeat steps.
