Figure 1–3. Terminal Screen

A help message is displayed on the screen automatically if the Monitor message MSP-STK430x320 is not

received by the STK/EVK control software, where x is the current revision letter.

Reset Button

NOTE: Pins for the STK Demo Program

Some pins of the MSP430 device will be used for the sensor demo program (only available on

the STK):

•

A5 (connected to the sensor)

•

Seg0. . .Seg13 (connected to the LCD Display)

•

Com1. . .Com4 (connected to the LCD Display)

•

R03. . .R33 (connected to the LCD R-Ladder)

•

P0.0 (connected to the Trigger button)

•

The string MSP-STK430x320 should appear in the HyperTerminal window (white background

area of the STKW95 HyperTerminal

 window). In addition, the LCD display on the evaluation

board (EVK or STK) should display MSP430.

•

If both do not appear, simply press the reset button on the evaluation board (identified with an

RES etched next to it) one time.

NOTE:

The MSP430 evaluation board requires very low supply voltages due to its ultra-low

power consumption characteristics. In this case, the RS232 interface, or a 3.6 V

lithium battery (if installed) provides the supply voltage for the STK/EVK.

Due to PC com port differences, it may be necessary to jumper the board down to

3 V or supply an external battery. To jumper the board, refer to the diagram in the

STK/EVK Target Connectors section, and place one jumper across the Vcc holes,

and another across the Vcc/LCD holes where the default for both of these is open.
