eZ430-RF2500 UART

Started by Aaron Greer November 14, 2007
Has anyone tried using the UART for communication with a PC through the USB interface? How does that work? With the ez430-F2013 module, the UART is not really a UART, the debugger grabs the data and displays it in the debugger terminal window. I'm assuming that the RF2500 UART relies on a USB to serial type of Windows driver to pass the serial data into a PC. I wonder why TI decided to make this function available for the RF module, but not for the regular MCU module. It would be nice to have a serial port available which didn't require a debugging session.

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

i have a ez430-rf. the serial interface works nice. the problem is only the vista do not really recognize it programmer only the sireal interface.

What I found works is use an EZ-430 programmer (blue) with the RF2500 devise (red)plugged into it. Use the center 4 pins to match up with the 4 pin socket on the ez430 kit.

Dan, are you describing a way to program the RF2500 module with Vista?

Yes it is possible to program the ez430-rf with the ez430 "dongel".

yes as long as you can use the ez430 (blue) kit to program with vista, then you can use the usb portion to program the RF2500 (red).
