CCS/CCSTUDIO: Jtag support for CCstudio v7.0

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSP430F2417

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Does CC Studio V 7.0 have JTAG  support for  MSP430 USB - Debug- Interface MSP-FET430UIF?

  • Hello Nirmal,

    Yes, it is installed automatically if you select the MSP as part of the Code Composer Installation.
  • My experience with CCS7 is that I took my MSP-FET out of the box, plugged it in and always got the message "unable to set Vcc" when trying to debug.

    MSP-FET serial no. is 1708003AD.  Note that no MSP-FET firmware update occurred at any time.

    Next, I installed CCS8, allowed it to update my workspace, plugged in the MSP-FET and followed the prompts to update the firmware.

    Now MSP-FET works perfectly.  I am using it with custom boards with JTAG programming port implemented.  Target processor is MSP430F2417 (64 pin).

    Hope that this helps somebody.
