As so far, I have been working with the MSP430 family a while and I am really enthusiastic with this IC. Since a few months I was using CCS compiler V4 (Node license). Recently I have performed the Update to V5.1. Of course it claims about a necessary firmware update for the USB FET, which I have performed. Although it was reported to be successful, I have no communication to my device anymore since this operation. The new current firmware (which I could read out with Elpotronics FetPro after updating its dlls) is 3.02.01.009. The error message which I now get is:"Load program Error". I have checked all cables. As I have a second FET device, I have tried this one, but after upgrade (which I regress having done) it shows exactly the same behaviour.
My system is Win7 Professional 32Bit
