The Flash replicator target interface provides a means to easily program the flash replicator described in Texas Instruments' Application Note SLAA 149. SoftBaugh's REP430 replicator is a derived from this and is fully compatible. This target interface supports program loading only.

Once you have developed, debugged, and tested your program, you can deploy it to many MSP430 devices using the flash replicator. You program your REP430 (or compatible) using the Flash replicator target interface, and CrossStudio downloads your program image (specially formatted) together with some firmware to the HOST port to prepare the replicator for operation.

Once the firmware has been downloaded, you can remove the flash replicator and program your target MSP430s by connecting them to the TARGET port and pressing the button.
