Until now the ez430 is still not being detect in Linux version of CCStudio, even in v5.2.0 Beta 3? During debug de program display the following message:
MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found.
Someone of TI or someone else, can help me?
Thanks,
Rene
Hi Rene, I fear we need wait next final 5.3 release planned for this mount.
I also experienced too many issue in Linux version to use early, no support of processors family I am using.
UIF is supported and ez430 doesn't differ too much, is ok if you use by other ide?
Also on winzz version 5.x is still affected by too much issues, Linux just lack of support to but is far more stable, we need trust on new release.
Regards
Roberto

Hello,
I am having the same problem. I am using CCS 5.2 under Ubuntu 10.04. Every time I try to debug the program I get the message
MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found
Although that I can program it manually using
mspdebug rf2500
as posted in

I would appreciated it very much if you you could keep us informed regarding any updates related to that issue.
Regards.
The beta versions of CCS 5.2 are supposed to work with MSP430 on Linux. I use a ez430-RF2500, that is not detected by Linux version of CCS. So, how I think that is very complicated work with mspgcc, for now I'm working with de Windows version of CCS. But I hope that this issues will be resolved in definitive version of CCS 5.2 or even 5.3. Until there, the easiest way is work with Windows version.
Ahmed, I think that this link can help you.

Hi Rene, happy to hear these answer, this say as I supposed support is near complete but some refinement are to be done. So Linux version can suffer of some porting issue and project conversion too. From what I deducted on some post UIF and EZ430 are very close just missing fuse blow logic and some volage control logic but may be firmware can be the same. On old day I lost a lot of EZ by windows upgrading during SP3 so I decided try migrate to Linux but this is still in progress.
On Windows version I was just using for Stellaris series I had more worst experiences: compiler work just if all library and project reside on same HDD if spread on two different HDD it fail miserably on project creation, compiler is more stable on VBOX than on true partition. All my development now are on IAR code limited version running on wine during program simulation and test then moved on VBOX for hardware access.
So for now I stopped development waiting for the definitive 5.3 version, if this work then I definitively buy the compiler, the only one solution to have all TI devices supported on Linux too.
Thank you very much for your kind correspondance.
I tried a virtual windows it didn't work. However, I tried it on stand-alone windows installation and it worked smoothly. I am looking forward for the Linux updates because I am not a windows user.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot Reno,
I have tried the procedure declared in the site, however, it didn't work smooth for me. I had to modify the build files and several scripts to get run then the installation was stuck at the end.
This link worked much more better for me:
The main disadvantage in both link, neither of them support the MSP430G2553 device family.
What I am trying to do at the moment is to link Eclipse with CCS command and mspgdbg. It is not working yet but I am working on it. Let's wait and see.
Hi All, 5.2.0.0000069 has been released on May 18, on note all device are supported on Linux also Stellaris and programmers.
Thanks, for tip Roberto. Now let's test it!
I just uninstalled 5.1 and installed the recent release 5.2, however, I am still getting the same error.
I even checked the TI USB driver as follow:
$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0451:f432 Texas Instruments, Inc.
Therefore, I think the driver is installed but I am still getting the error message
I dunno what is the problem :-( !!!
Just one more question.
How can I generate the .elf file using CCS Linux based?
Ahmed Shahein MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found I dunno what is the problem :-( !!!
On opt/ti/ccsv5/install_scripts
there is a file for installing drivers install_drivers.sh and msp430uif_install.sh had you run them?
I just installed them, but I still got the same error. I even tried to run CCS as root, I also got the same error. Then I change the CCS file permission to for normal user not for root, I got the same error as well.
