Re: Learning embedded coding, which uC?

Hello Baxter,

Speaking of In-circuit programming - I'm starting with the MSP430.  I've got
the TI Flash Programmer tool, but it only connects to header board or
socket.  What do I use for connecting to the chip in-circuit?  A 3M SOIC
Test Clip?  I'm not sure how to connect it to the TI Flash Programmer tool.

You have to provide a header, typically in the same 14 pin configuration. If there ain't enough space you can create an adapter from the FET tool plug to whatever smaller connector like FPC you have chosen.

In-circuit might be more practical with a bootloader, reducing it to a serial link.
