MSP430FR5994: MSP-FET430UIF / MSP-FET / eZ-FET Firmware Update Error Resolution

Are you saying you've clicked the "Update" button and it fails? The message in your screenshot is simply saying the FET in the dev kit needs to be updated; this is done by clicking the "Update" button on the popup.

Seth, Yes and Yes. correct

Hi Tarun Sharma,

Have you been able to program with this device before or is this the first time you are attempting to program it?

Yes, I have. That makes me think that there is version or compatibility issues with CCS, Driver and MSP-FET.

Hi all, I am following up on my request above. To clarify the issues, I am having issues with current CCS version. When I hit run, here is what I see.

1. Error Initializing Emulator

2. When I select update, I get same error above. If I hit retry, I get back to same error. If I hit ignore, then I get this error below,

Is can somebody really assist?

Thanks,

Tarun Sharma

Hi Tarun Sharma,

1. I noticed that your MSPDS is version 1.0.1.2 whereas the latest is listed as 3.15.1.1
2. As per this post, the Cloud not set device Vcc, relates to the version incompatibility. 
3. Uniflash should also be able to detect and update the FET.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for responding and looking into this. I still get this error after it tries to update. Yes, I did try to do a fresh install of driver. No effect. 

Hi Tarun,

1. Can you send a photo of the launchpad when it is having the issue. 
2. What was the CCS version when you could program the board?
   1. Have you rolled back the update and tried to reprogram on the older version?
3. Are you attempting to using a different VCC aside from the default 3.3V?

Regards,

Luke
