I am new to the MSP430 family but very familiar with Code Composer 
from years of DSP work. I would like to use Code Composer Essentials 
to debug our own board with an MSP430F1232 via an MSP-FET430UIF. What 
this does for me is get a compiler capable of producing code up to 8K 
instead of the IAR Kickstart approach which has a 4K limit (without 
stepping up to the EW430-BL version). I do not have a target board 
available yet so my question is this: Can you debug a target 
with "Code Composer Essentials" and an MSP-FET430UIF? The confusing 
part to me is that TI, who produces Code Composer, only seems to
refer to the IAR tools.  

Yes.   There may be a bit of configuration involved as the default
configuration for the CCE involves the parallel port.
