Question: How do I write a program to a target MCD (MSP430F2011) using a MSP-
FET430UIF so that it will run independently.

More inf:.Using Kickstart, I have written a program that runs well on the microcontroller
when connected to the USB-Debug-Interface, but now I want to let it free of the ribbon
cable umbilical. Simply disconnecting and shorting TEST/SWBTCK to ground doesn't
work, nor does there seem to be a big red button on screen saying "write code to MCU".
Please take pity on one who speaks Microchip PIC, but is dislexic in the world of the
MSP430.

Mike, unless you are runnin gin Simulator mode your code will be down
loaded to the micro. It executes from the micro when debugging. You can
easily check this in the options PROJECT-OPTIONS-DEBUGGER FET debugger
sould be selected, then under the FET debugger tab make sure verify
download is selected.

Other than that, applying power to the micro, once disconnected, will
run it. Shorting TEST won't do anything useful with a disconnected
micro. If you're writing in assembler the difference between a Debug
session and a run session is not huge. But in C there could be a lot of
differences. You should normally be able to run you're debug version
independently though. Once that is proven you can then generate a
runtime version of the code for download and test that.

Cheers
