Hi.. I am totally new in MSP430.. Ive used Atmega, yet I would like to make my board to have less power consumption.
As the first board, I made a custom target board based on msp430f5529 launchpad. I do not modify any part around MCU. And I made spy by wire wire pins for programming. Even I ordered same smd components from digikey.
After soldering all components, I connected 2 wire(RST and TST pin) with launch pad's pins(RST, TST, 3.3V, GND) and this target board as u can see from the picture. 
However, I could not programming.. I am using css6.0. At first, it asked me to update firmware, after that it said "Unknown device"..
I tried Energia. and it said this first.

Re-run with --allow-fw-update to perform a firmware update.

Do I need to buy new jtag programmer to update program, or my target board has some problem?
Thanks,
Anthony
