I was hoping you would share with me info on making my own board for programming. I recently came into a handful of MSP430F20xx that I'd like to play around with, but my student budget isn't offering me the option of purchasing a decent board.
Please and thanks for your time

Also if you have a chance check out http://goodfet.sf.net/ . Travis Goodspeed developed an MSP430 JTAG programmer that is completely open source. If you contact him via email he might send you some boards at which point all you need to do is gather the various components so that you can build it.
