Gettng started with USB 8451 to interface with MSP430

[LV_Enthu]

Hello Everyone,

                    i had a basic question

Can I save data from my MSP430 microcontroller's flash mem to the computer using USB 8451 OVER the SPI interface ?

if Yes, can anyone please show me an example?

Thanks.

Do you guys think i should be able to replace the EEPROM by a uC?

Hi CrackJack.

We spoke on the phone today to resolve this matter but I wanted to post the other article that might be beneficial for others viewing this thread.

While this document does not directly address the particular application, it does give a basic example of using the 8451 to interface with an external device via an SPI connection in LabVIEW.
