Help ! - MSP430F5529 and DLP-7970ABP not working

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, MSP430G2553, UNIFLASH, MSP-EXP430F5529LP

I have loaded all the required code composer flash and the nfc player that they recommended.  I make it through to the R/W progarm and get a heartbeat(red flash), but no NFC cards can be read/seen.  The booster board (7970ABP) has LED 1, 3, & 4 on, if that helps.  Any advice on next the step?

    Moving this thread to the NFC/RFID forum for their expertise. The packaged example code supports the MSP430G2553 but not the MSP430F5529. Have you ported the code and debugged it to the best of your ability? Some requirements for this are outlined in the following E2E thread:

    e2e.ti.com/.../375488

    Please attach your code files and comment on what you think is not functioning correctly inside the firmware.

    did you put the jumper in the right place for the IRQ?

    check for your version of HW and its connection on that detail. hope that helps

    Josh,

    I have the new version(4.5) board with the modified board that has the IRQ 1 already set.   It seems like I am close, since I get a heartbeat (red LED) and the NFC player program shows a green 'start OK'. (see attached pic).

    Hello Ronald,

    Can you provide the NFC Player version number and the FW version which appears when you hit Start NFC? Both are located in the top bar of the GUI.

    Ralph,

    It says Strollmann NFCPlayer (version 1.153.5), but it says this in the log TAB 09:36:31:613 CNfcPlayer::loadParameters: SnepMIU parameter not found, using default (2048) - - If that helps ??

    Also do the LEDs 1,3, & 4 on the DLP board turned on mean anything???

    Regards,
    Ronald

    Hello Ronald,

    What is the name of the Firmware example you flashed onto the MSP430F5529?

    Busy day today. I will check it in the morning.

    Thanks,

    Ralph,

    I have this firmware loaded, but now it doesn't seem to even start the board today: \DLP\Source G2 v2.4 9-15-2014\TRF7970ABP_Demo\Debug\TRF7970ABP_Demo.out 

    Is there a firmware that is recommended or direct me to the location?  

    Regards,

    Ronald

    just an observation, but don't you want to load the FW for the -F5529?

    C:\ti\msp430\NFCLink_1.0.0.3\examples\boards\msp430f5529_lp\allModes\RW_P2P_CE_1\ccs\Debug

    then use .out or .hex file there

    As Josh mentioned, you will need to load the correct firmware on the board. When you installed NFCLink, the folder Josh referenced gets installed and you can flash the MSP430 LaunchPad with the .out file there.

    The firmware project you mentioned is for an MSP430G2553, so it wouldn't work on the F5529 at all. It also is not a project which uses the GUI you are looking to use.

    Ralph,

    OK, I have tried it on a second computer with the same results. :-(

    I load the firmware and cannot get it to work in the NFC player unless I unplug and replug the usb cable. But, when I replug in the cable, I then get the two LEDs on the board to light (1,3, & 4 on the DLP board) and the NFC player appears to be working, but nothing is being read.

    Here is info from the uniflash:
    Loaded target configuration from: C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Local\TEXASI~1\CCS\ti\0\0\/temptargetconfiguration.ccxml
    [22:49:18] Begin Writing flash memory operation.

    [22:49:57] Operation Writing flash memory returned.

    Do I have a bad board?

    Hello Ronald,

    You don't have a bad board, you missed the correct folder slightly.

    With the MSP-EXP430F5529LP, you need to get the LaunchPad project.

    This is at: C:\ti\msp430\NFCLink_1.0.0.3\examples\boards\msp430f5529_lp\allModes\RW_P2P_CE_1\ccs\Debug

    You got the project from msp430f5529_exp instead of msp430f5529_lp - which is the issue here. The exp project is for a different board with different pinouts.

    Try the _lp project and it should work.

    Ralph,

    Good news!  My system is finally up and running !!!!  Thank you and everyone else involved!

    Now, the next challenge is reading the custom tag my company made using the MSP430-FR5969 chip.  I will start a new thread for that one.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Ronald
