Claimed to be the world's smallest complete development tool, Texas Instruments' eZ430-F2013 is a complete MSP430 development tool providing all the hardware and software to evaluate the MSP430F2013 MCU and complete an entire project in a convenient USB stick form factor.
The eZ430-F2013 uses the IAR Embedded Workbench integrated development environment (IDE) to provide full emulation with the option of designing a standalone system or detaching the removable target board to integrate into an existing design. On stick is an emulation interface board and a removable MSP430F2013 target board. Via a unique bi-wire debug interface, only two signals, power and ground, are needed to connect the emulation interface and target. The USB port provides all the power.
All 14-pins on the MSP430F2013 are accessible on the MSP-EZ430D target board for easy debugging and interfacing with peripherals. Additionally, one of the digital I/O pins is connected to an LED for visual feedback. The MSP430F2013 includes 16-MIPS performance, a 16-bit sigma-delta ADC, a 16-bit timer, Watchdog timer, brownout detector, a USI module supporting SPI and I²C, and five low power modes drawing as little as 0,1 mA in standby.
