ENERGIA: Unable to upload with Energia 1.8.7E20

Part Number: ENERGIA

I am using Energia 1.8.7E20, downloaded from here: http://www.energia.nu/download/.  I have the EXP-MSP430FR5739 board connected.  I am unable to upload the example blink sketch to the board.  I get the following error message:

------------------------

Sketch uses 972 bytes (6%) of program storage space. Maximum is 15743 bytes.
Global variables use 20 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1004 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 1024 bytes.

Any idea how to resolve this?

I am running Windows 7.  The previous version of Energia, 1.6.10E18 works fine (it is still installed on my PC).

  • Hi David,

    Did you update the LaunchPad drivers? You can find the driver at below link.

  • Hi Winter,

    The drivers are not the problem. I already had CCSv8 installed, and everything works with the previous version of Energia (1.6.10E18). Just on the chance, I followed the installation instructions at the link you provided. The installer reported that "The device driver installation wizard did not update any of your software for your hardware devices because it was not better than the software you currently have installed."

    I wonder whether there is a problem with Energia 1.8.7.E20. Are you able to upload to the EXP-MSP430FR5739 board using this version?

    Regards,
    David
  • Hi David,

    Energia is a third party tool. TI does support the use of Energia. And I have no experience on it. There is a forum of Energia forum.43oh.com/.../. This may help you. If you have a technical question relating to the hardware, you can still ask for help on E2E forum.
