I am making a small project using msp430f5438 micro-controller and a L.C.D interface. But I am little confused how to burn the micro-controller as I am planning to buy a msp430f5438 experiment board but that is too costly for me. If anybody can assist me how to burn my 100 pin msp430f5438. And I am little confused about the experiment board that do it has any pins for interfacing such things or it is just a burner circuit. Please help me

CPU: MSP430F5438 mixed signal microcontroller

LCD NOKIA 3310 black/white 84x48 pixels

JTAG connector

JTAG Power_In and Power_Out jumpers

Two extension connectors

UEXT connector

RS232 driver and connector

Power plug-in jack for 9V DC power supply

Voltage regulator +3.3V – VR1(3.3V)

2 status LEDs

Power on Led

Audio In

Audio Out

SD/MMC mini connector

USB device connector

Reset button

User joystick

PCB: FR-4, 1.5 mm (0,062"), solder mask, silkscreen component print

Dimensions: 100x 98mm ( 3.94x 3.85")


BOARD USE REQUIREMENTS
Cables:

The cable you will need depends on the programmer/debugger you use. If

you use MSP430-JTAG, you will need LPT cable, if you use MSP430-JTAG-TINY or
MSP-JTAG-ISO, you will need 1.8m A-B USB cable, if you use MSP430-JTAG-RF,
you can connect it to the USB port of your computer, or via USB cable type A –
female.
Hardware:
Programmer/Debugger – one of our Programmers – MSP430-JTAG,

MSP430-JTAG-TINY
, MSP430-JTAG-ISO, or MSP430-JTAG-RF.
Software:
MSP430 KickStart software.


It looks like you get a lot for $56.00 **broken link removed**
But you need the $75.40 programmer and software.

Thanks for your reply your suggestion really reduced my cost of project. Can you please assist me whether IAR workbench software can be used to burn the micro-controller using USB. And I am little bit confuse that whether it has any pin for LCD and KEYBOARD interface???
