Texas Instruments MSP Gang Programmer is a MSP430 device programmer that can program up to eight identical MSP430 flash or FRAM devices at the same time. This MSP Gang Programmer connects to a host PC using a standard RS-232 or USB connection and provides flexible programming options that allow the user to fully customize the process.
The MSP Gang Programmer comes with an expansion board called the Gang Splitter. This implements the interconnections between the MSP Gang Programmer and multiple target devices. Eight cables are provided that connect the expansion board to eight target devices (via JTAG or Spy-Bi-Wire connectors). The programming can be done with a PC or as a standalone device. A PC-side Graphical User Interface is also available and is DLL-based.

Quickly and reliably program Flash or FRAM-based MSP devices via an RS-232 or USB interface
Several programming modes:
·Interactive Mode – Programming while connected to PC using the MSP GANG Programmer GUI
·Program from Image – An image can be stored, which contains configuration options and code files. This allows users to program MSP devices standalone, without a PC
·Programming from Script – Enables developers to automate more complicated programming procedures.
Intuitive GUI for configuring, programming & testing production setup
SD Card slot for storing images
LCD screen for easy programming without a PC
Supports up to 8 targets simultaneously
Supports all current and future MSP430 devices

MSP430 Microcontrollers, Texas Instruments

The MSP430 Platform is a range of mixed-signal, ultra-low power microcontrollers from Texas Instruments. The 16-bit RISC architecture is perfectly suited for wireless, low-power industrial and portable applications. This established range has a strong and popular position due to its ease of use and broad suite of development tools and support.
The MSP430 portfolio consists of over 400 devices ranging from the MSP430 Value Line to the revolutionary, highly integrated microcontrollers with embedded FRAM memory.This broad family of products offer integration suited to many designs and applications. High-performance peripherals include USB, RF, LCD controllers and Sigma-Delta ADCs. This allows designers to find the appropriate MSP430 device for many low power applications.
