Hi John,

Good day and I hope you are fine.

Thank you for your confirmation. Since this is the same problem as the case: CS1013210, I will now cancel this case and will continue to support you through the case: CS1013210. 

Have a great day and keep safe,

Hi John,

Good day and I hope you are fine.

Thank you for contacting TI Customer Support and for choosing our products as part of your solution. This is to acknowledge the support request that you have raised.

May I ask if this is the same concern as case: CS1013210? If yes, would it be ok if we continue our discussion through the case CS1013210?

Kind regards,
Gerald Millar

Hi, I have been working with the Energia IDE, developing programs with the MSP-EXP430 boards, and one day after I had taken a break for a couple weeks, the board(s) decided to stop working. For awhile I was getting Java errors, so I did a reinstall, which fixed that problem. Now there are a host of other errors, I have tried a couple different boards. same problem. I have searched the Internet, many of the posts seem incomplete in their explanation, so please spell it out for me, as for a simpleton. THANK YOU so much for your help!!  The board that gave the following errors is: MSP-EXP430G2ET with the chip:M430G2553. I have been trying to use the Blink program for a test. I changed the COM port each time and got different results.- It is showing up in the Device Manager.

-*I got this error message when I tried to use Com1 (Communications port).

  • I have no idea what is special about the Energia version but when I run the standalone Linux version on my MSP-EXP430G2 Launchpad I get:

  • I don't know, if you have a CCS or IAR IDE that can running a C code demo to see if the hardware have any problem.
