There is software regulation of the power source at least. I'd guess that it'd be safe.

Hi Daniel, I thought about it but the board probably requires more than the 60mA that FET can source, so I decided against it. Do you know if there is protection available on FET against larger source currents?

Thanks. Hi Sarfraz, Have you tried debugging with the board powered by the FET, rather than the battery?

Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP-FET430UIF and mspdebug
Hello Daniel, It is an evaluation board that is powered by a small Lithium polymer battery with a 3V regulator. I have checked that pin number 4 of the 14-pin JTAG connector is at 3V with the FET cable connected to the board but I still get the same error. Any ideas where I should look next please?
