5.8 MSP-EXP430G2 On-Board Emulator

The MSP-EXP430G2 on-board emulator enables programming and debugging of supported MSP430 MCUs (see Section 5.7). It offers several features that are enabled by a 2-wire JTAG interface called Spy-Bi-Wire. For a more feature-complete emulator, the MSP-FET430UIF flash emulation tool may be more appropriate. See Table 4 for more details on the on-board emulator of the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad development kit.
