Development Flow 2.1 Overview Applications are developed in assembler and/or C using the Workbench, and they are debugged using C-SPY. C-SPY is seamlessly integrated into the Workbench. However, it is more convenient to make the distinction between the code development environment (Workbench) and the debugger (C-SPY). C- SPY can be configured to operate with the FET (i.e., an actual MSP430 device), or with a software simulation of the device. Kickstart is used to refer to the Workbench
