Glossy MSP430 - Embedded GDB Debugger for MSP430
# Glossy MSP430 – STLink Form Factor
This manual describes the use and the features of the Glossy MSP430 debug probe for MSP430™ microcontrollers (MCUs). It includes information about the debugger probe hardware and software. It documents frequently asked questions on how to enable and disable certain features.
The Glossy MSP430 (see picture below) is a powerful debug probe for application development supporting all MSP430 microcontrollers. The Glossy MSP430 provides a USB interface to program and debug the MSP430 MCUs in-system through the JTAG interface or the pin-saving…

STLinkForm: common questions
What microcontroller does the STLinkForm use?
The STLinkForm is built around the AD8531ARTZ, from the STM32 family.
How big is the STLinkForm PCB?
The STLinkForm measures 73.7 × 38.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the STLinkForm?
65 components, from 43 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the STLinkForm design files?
From the grumat/glossy-msp430 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the STLinkForm design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-2.0 license, which grumat chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the STLinkForm without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
