Hi Lisa,
I was reading the posts about the emulator.
My compiler CCS v5.2 also cannot find the emulator the message is the same:
Error initializing emulator: Could not find MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port.
I downloaded the newest version and following that I upgraded the installed CCS.
After that everything started to working fine.
But I also had stoped a lot of processes in my computer and made some changes
in the debug configuration.
Unfortunately, I didn't copy what I have done.
Next day I turned on the computer and the same message appear again.
So, what comes from the download is enouth, but for sure is missing some extra
hints in the use o CCS Debug Configuration and the driver emulation checking.
The driver is installed correctly because it worked once.
Any Ideias what it is?
