Please note that the USB-MSP430-FPA programming adapter is only supported on Windows operating systems. Once you have installed the drivers, you can integrate support for the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter as described below.
In this section we will assume that you have installed the USB-MSP430-FPA software in the default directory “C:\Program Files\Elprotronic\USB MSP430 Flash Programmer”.
Set up the required files so CrossStudio can use them:
Now that the files are copied, you can create a target interface that will use these DLLs.

Next, use the Elprotronic USB-MSP430-FPA DLLs rather than the parallel port DLLs for this interface:
You are now ready to use the Elprotronic USB-MSP430-FPA target interface to program and debug your applications.
