F20xx chips do not have BSL. You have to use JTAG tools to erase/write the Flash memory. slaa096b does not apply to F2013.
TI makes JTAG tools. IAR makes one too. All of them have limited cable length limits. How far do you want to move it away?
Once the Flash is programmed, you can detach the JTAG from F2013. You can use F2013 standing alone and move it anywhere you want. Why do you worry about cable length?
i’m working (student yet!) in an audio lab. About the cable issue, i’m trying the stand alone way for ez430 because i have to make some tests with bigs systems like audioPrecision (which can’t move like the computer…
when you say jtag tools, it was software or harware tools (maybe both) ???
do you think i can use the msp430 1613 which is just under the ez430U as the host ?? or do I need another msp430 between the msp430f2013(ez430D) and the usb part(ez430U) ?? i ask this question because when i disconnect the spyBi connection(= detach the 2013 ) , IAR do not seem to be able to program the msp430 1613 .
