Is TI going to honor their products?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438, MSP-FET, SYSBIOS

I spent $800 on Code Composer Studio. I spent $110 on an MSP-FET. $175 on an MSP430F5438 experiment's kit.

These three components from TI do not work together under linux. I cannot start a debug session.

Last I checked, if you pay money for a product, it should work. Yours does not. Tell me why I should base my customers' and my own future projects on TI products?

    Hi Randy,

    I believe that should be supported.  Do you have futher details you could provide?   Ie might it be the Linux variety?

    Best regards,

    Lisa

    Hi Randy,

    I can understand your frustration.   However, I can only ask for patience as, I for example, don't currently have a fedora setup (it is extremely hard to keep up with all linux varieties and versions), and it is also a week which sees most people on holdiay. 

    Hopefully next week more people will be in and we can get someone more versed in Linux for you.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    Thank you for your responses. I was letting my frustration interfere with common sense. Of course, it is the 4th-of-July weekend and I can wait until Monday. Happy 4th!

    Hi Randy,

    I guess I know what's going on. The first production lot of the MSP-FET requires a manual update before you can use it under Linux. Please see the corresponding note on www.ti.com/mspds, section 4.2 (Linux Drivers).

    There you can download a small utility that does all the magic - however - this utility only runs under Windows (as the issue is that the initial prod. FW can't be access under Linux - hence, please don't use a Windows VM under Linux). Once you have used this utility everything should be just fine. We've already updated our production lines.

    Please let me know if this resolved the problem or in case you should have any other issues.

    Have a great weekend,

    Markus

    Randy,

    Sorry, me again - I just saw your other post and that you used the patcher already. :-(

    If both LEDs are on, a debug session should run just fine. Just to understand things a bit better - does the standard blink LED example (not the sysbios one) work fine or is the problem only with the sysbios one?

    Thanks for your help,

    Markius

    Hi Markus,

    Thank you for responding. At this point I am not able to get to a working debug session. When I attempt to start, I get "Error initializing emulator:Tried to initialize USB FET number 2, but only found 1 USB FETs".

    That error usually just means that the project options are set to USB2 as connection. With only one FET connected, any setting other than USB1 won't make sense.


    If the settings are already configured to use USB1 (as in the screenshot above) and it's just an example project anyway, try deleting and creating a new one to have a clean set of default options.

    Randy,

    Does everything work now?

    Yes, it is working fine now. Sorry for not responding sooner.

    Alexander,

    Thank you for that. I believe that indeed was the problem. I seemed to have lost my original configuration and after creating a new one everything just worked.
