MSP-EXP430F5529 as ISP

[Connoiseur]

Hello everyone!

I sincerely apologise if this is a repost, and would be thankful if someone points me to the thread.

Quite a few time back I received an MSP-EXP430F5529 experimenter board as a gift. I am not familiar with MSP430 devices but know about AVR (both in Arduino and embedded c). I was wondering if the experimenter board can be used as an ISP just as Arduino is used for AVR devices. I have seen an Instructable that shows the same for Launchpad.http://www.instructables.com/id/EASY-MSP430-LaunchPad-ISP-with-only-4-wires/
I have a few MSP430F249 and MSP430AFE253 lying around and I'm itching to do something with them but not in a hurry to buy the expensive MSPFET programmer.

Any relevant information will be highly appreciated. Thanks

That is perfectly possible, as mentioned in section 4.3 of its User's Guide. Check table 1 for SBW and UART pinouts.

Thanks for the help. Finally I was able to upload programs to my MSP430 device.
