Hi David,
The first thing is to avoid needing to download the firmware as this downloader program was written for the Win-XP operating system and due to timing issues will not work in most cases with an OS greater than XP. This reference design was not meant to be a part of a development platform for rewriting or testing code. At this time we do not have the available resources to create a new downloader to work with the newer OS.
That said, there is an option along the right side of the EVM where you can solder a header and program the MSP430 using a JTAG programmer. I would suggest that you use this method for generating and downloading any new code.
Best regards,
Bob B
