MSP430F1232 can not debug & programming

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F1232

Hi,

Our customer  use the MSP430F1232  MCU,I provided  few  sample to him that  MCU can be debug & to burn code .But  my customer bought  400 pcs MSP430G1232 chip .Those MCU can not  debug &  to burn code . I got my  customer return MCU to test . I tried on CCS4 ,IAR & SmartRF flash programmer  to download or to burn code also can not work .I do not know what's difference Please help me to solve this problem. More detali information as below :

 Sample  MCU mark                                 Sale MCU

lline one : M430F1232                          MSP430F1232

line two  : O2TG4                                    1ITG4

line 3th   : CQZ4D                                    ALGTF

SmartRF flash programmer info is :   Not able to identify

IAR info is : Could not find device (oe device not support)

CCS info is :  Could not find device (oe device not support)

Thanks & Best Regard!

  • Likely, the new bought MCUs are of a newer silicon revision that is unknown to the MSP430.DLL he has installed on his system. The programmer needs to exactly know the device (down to silicon revision) and therefore software updates are required for new or updated devices.
    Usually, newer CCS and IAR versions come with the latest MSP430.DLL which in turn will update the original TI FETs automatically.

    If you have a full icense of CCS/IAR and don't want to update, it might be possible to install a free version on another PC and copy over the drivers/dlls. But beware, the newest GCC and IAR use an incompatible dll and driver model, so you cannot use the latest one.

    I still hope there will sometime be a tool that manages all this driver/DLL hassle.

  • Hi ,

    I had IDE license . The CCS4 & IAR can be updata UIF firmware but it is completed update also can not find device or device not support. I tried CC5 same as problem.

     

  • I would try to use the PIF instead of UIF. I would also try to use BSL instead of JTAG.

    (For the same reason I try to use Window-XP instead of System-8).
