This is a very interesting new programmer from Olimex. The MSP-JTAG-RF uses the Nordic nRF24L01 wireless radio coupled with a SAM7 (USB base unit) and MSP430F169 (remote unit) to wirelessly program and debug MSP430F processors.

Units may come wrapped a protective heat-shrink cover.

• Programs all MSP430Fxxx flash microcontrollers
• Ultra fast programming 10KB/s. Several times faster than TI-USB-FET
• Uses TI standard 2x7 pin JTAG connector
• Spy-By-Wire support for the newest TI MSP430 devices
• JTAG plug board works up to 100 meter from the computer with the USB dongle
• Two parts: USB-to-RF dongle you plug into your USB port and RF-to-JTAG plug-in board which you plug to your target JTAG connector
• Perfectly (air) isolated - can work even target if physically separated from the debug computer i.e. in hermetically closed rooms with harsh environment etc.
• MSP430.dll makes it compatible with all existing software which works with TI-USB-FET (emulates TI-USB-FET)
• Compatible with IAR Kickstart software for programming, real time emulation, debugging, step by step program execution, breakpoints, memory dump etc everything all high priced emulators do
• With IAR Kickstart you can write in assembler unlimited code size and to write in C with 2K limit for all MSP430 microcontrollers
• Works with free GCC C compiler and Insight MSP430 toolchain and debugger* USB dongle 20x40 mm (0.8x1.6")
• JTAG-plug 30x40 mm (2.2x1.6")

• MSP430-JTAG-RF user guide
• MSP430-JTAG-RF connector (top view)
• MSP430 Kick Start C compiler and debugger (free for assembly language, limited for C)
• MSPGCC - free C compiler and debugger
