Problem: MSP-FET does not recognize MCU (nor does older MSP-FET430UIF)
MCU: MSB430G2452
CCS Version: 6.1.1.00022
Using the LaunchPad, I can program the on-board MCU and I can use jumpers to program a target MCU in circuit. However, when using the MSP-FET tool, I consistently get the message "MSP430: Error connecting to the target: Unknown device". I have not had the opportunity to try the MSP-FET with a different MCU as I am deep into this project. I have carefully checked the pin connections and programming signals with O'Scope. I see significantly different signals from the MSP-FET when compared to the LaunchPad. I am assuming that pin 1 on the cable is still the white stripe and by the "triangle" on the IDC connector.
What am I missing? Thanks.
