Hi Rob, Can't give a definitive answer, but I know that FET firmware version 20404000 does work with the MSP430F5529 at least. There is a driver in MSPDebug for accessing the FET bootloader, but so far I haven't been brave enough to try using it for erasing and writing. I currently have no other way of debugging the FET if I break the firmware. Aside from that problem, I assume that the FET firmware images are not freely redistributable? - Daniel
