eZ430 Development Tools  
TI is proud to be one of the first companies to revolutionize application development for MCUs with embedded emulation tools. Ten years ago, emulating programming code for MCUs involved a very slow, large and expensive tool known as an in-circuit emulator (ICE). The next phase produced was the Flash Emulation Tool (FET) which improved speed and ease of use but was still large and involved purchasing an extra part in order to use a development tool that nearly always doubled the cost of development. These difficult to use, and sometimes expensive, devices prohibited easy development and discouraged engineers from learning with MCUs.

TI is proud to introduce the eZ430 family of tools which are based on the newest technology of embedded emulation in order to allow the emulator to be the same size as a USB memory stick and communicate with the target board through only two pins! In addition, this new technology is so inexpensive that entire development kits which previously cost over $300 are now available for as little as $20! Furthermore, there is no reduction in performance as the emulator still supports both precision analog and full-speed digital debugging.
