Potential version mis-identification for selected MSP432 devices

To MSP432 developers,

an earlier update to IDEs (CCS, IAR EWARM, and Keil) added an MSP432 versioning check that might mis-identify a selected number of current MSP432 silicon as earlier version. These selected MSP432 units, while fully functional and up-to-date, have slightly different device information data that might be mis-detected by the IDE. This mis-diagnosis has been rectified in the most recent IDE release. Updating your IDE to the following latest versions will ensure all MSP432 revisions are correctly identified:

  • Code Composer Studio v6.1.2 or later with all updates by 03/29/2016 installed. Download CCS here
  • IAR Embedded Workbench for ARMv.7.60 or later. Download IAR EWARM here 
  • Keil uVision 5 with MSP432 device family pack (DFP) version 2.1.1 or later. Download Keil uVision here 

 

 Which IDE versions or updates that issue the mis-diagnosis:

-          CCSv6.1.2 with new updates from 02/19/2016

-          IAR EARM version 7.50.3

-          All Keil uVision5 updates continue to support older version of MSP432 silicon.

How to identify if you are impacted:

-          If you have seen the following warning message when debugging these devices in the last 6-12 months

“Warning: Your MSP432P401R material is out of date. For the latest device with additional functionality, please order new samples from www.ti.com/product/msp432p401r

-          Or if you now see the following error message after the most recent IDE update:

“This device is no longer supported. Your MSP432P401R material is out of date. For the latest device with additional functionality, please order new samples from www.ti.com/product/msp432p401r

 How to identify the version of your impacted silicon:

Package Marking

Silicon Quality

To continue development now

Next Step

REVB with symbol XMS432
(without P)

Current Silicon

Apply patch as instructed below

Silicon is fully functional, no need for replacement

REVB with symbol XMSP432
(Very low possibility, very few units in circulation)

Early Silicon

Apply patch as instructed below

Contact TI sales representative for replacement units

We are putting the highest level of priority on enabling you to continue development on all current MSP432 silicon. If any problem arises feel free to post a question in this thread or contact your TI sales representative.

Thank you,

the MSP Team!

  • Thanks for the info Dung!
  • I followed these instructions but I still get

    I have tried several processors, some work some not, ... The issue is presented with J-LINK EDU, J-LINK PRO, XDS-110 as debuggers,
    J-FLASH sims communicate correctly

    I will also try KEIL and update

    I tried with multiple debuggers J-LINK PRO, J-LINK EDU, XDS110, all failed, J-LINK FLASH sims work fine?
    I have multiple processors, same environment, some work, some not,

    The next I will try KEIL,..

  • Hi Goran,

    in your CCS installation have you checked the version of the MSP432 Emulators? (Help/About Code Composer Studio/Installation Details)

    This should read "MSP432 Emulators Version 6:2.2.0". If this is not the case try to update them.

    Regards,

    Thorsten

  • Hi Thorsten,

    I am using Linux CCS 6.1.2.00015, and the MSP432 Emulators is 6.2.2.0.  There appear to be no updates.  The reason we started seeing this is that my students were sent MSP432P401R Launchpads rev 2.0.  They are red, not black.  Is there an update we need?

    Thanks,

    Rob

  • Sorry for not having seen this reply.
    No there is no further update. The red launch pads you have received should have devices reading "XMS" and "RevC". These are already supported with the indicated pack.

    Regards,

    Thorsten
