3.2 Software Installation

Install the latest MSP430 driver from this website: https://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSP430_FET_Drivers/latest/index_FDS.html

Download the USB-2-MDIO software from http://www.ti.com/tool/usb-2-mdio

The USB-2-MDIO webpage contains a User’s Guide for installing and using the software. Because the MSP430 is on-board the DP83826EVM, it is not necessary to purchase a separate MSP430 Launchpad kit. In the case the on-board MSP430 cannot be used, MDIO and MDC pins are broken out on J1 and J2, respectively. Users can connect an MSP430 launchpad using the procedure described in TI's USB2MDIO Software Tool User's Guide, or their own MDIO-MDC utility.
