MSP-EXP430G2: Trouble Writing Block, Target Failed to Write

Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2

Hello Team,

I have a customer using MSP-EXP430G2 development kit. Below is the summary of his report:

"Error:

MSP430: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0xffe4 on Page 0 of Length 0x4: Could not write device memory
MSP430: File Loader: Verification failed: Target failed to write 0xFFE4

I was thinking about the fault with the chips and try another new one and it gives me the same error. 
Is there any suggestion to debug this error?"

I tried helping him by giving all the related links posted here in E2E that may solved his problem but still no avail. Also, advised him to post on this forum but unable since he is using an organization email account. For the meantime, I will me relaying his follow-up post on his behalf to our E2E.

Thanks for the support.

Regards,

Archie A.

    You can ask him for binary hex / txt file that cause verification error, replace FFFEh address contest with FFFFh value and test flashing on your side.

    Could you let me know how do I deal with that? 
    Meanwhile, how do I program the modified hex to emulation board.
     

    Looking forward to hear reply from experts.

    Thanks.

    Just to check that txt file is OK, try to upload it to G2 LP, you (Archie), not costumer. For example with MSP-Flasher, and than (if it is working OK), send MSP-Flasher command line with arguments to costumer to check it.

    Thanks for your reply, Zrno. Unfortunately here in our engagement we don't have access to install applications involving IDEs. We are just relying to some expert here in the forum.

    Archie,

    Are you using CCS to flash the board?  Do you see this same error if you try to load a different project?  Code examples can be found below that can be tested.
