AFE4404EVM: Firmware not running on running on MSP430 Launchpad

Uche David

Part Number: AFE4404EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, , AFE4404

Hello,

I am trying to run the AFE4404EVM firmware on an MSP430F5529 launchpad http://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-EXP430F5529LP. This is the same chip that is used on the AFE4404EVM board. I am able to flash the software and run it. Stepping through with the debugger shows that all the correct initialization is done and the program successfully iterates the while loop. However, the Application USB device is not listed on the host. 

I tried using the AFE4404EVM board and it is correctly listed on my windows device manager, where I am able to update the drivers and connect interface successfully with the GUI. 

I initially suspected that there was a USB conflict between the application USB and the ezFET interface on the launchpad. But the datasheet explains that the USB Hub on the launchpad takes care of this. 

Please how do I fix this problem? Are there any specific steps I should take in order to successfully use the AFE4404 EVM software on my launchpad?

Thanks.

    Hi Uche,

    Typically launchpad have an emulator and a target MCU and I am not sure how the firmware written for a sole MCU will work in this situation.

    Also since I am no expert in MCU, I can't help you here. Maybe it will good to ask this query in MCU forum.

    If you have any queries regarding AFE, we are happy to help you.

    Regards,

    Prabin.
