MSP430F5259: Trouble writing memory block

Hi Tom,

To clarify, this issue only occurs some of the time and nothing was changed before it started occurring? Do the MSP-FETs work with other devices/is the issue occurring with all target boards?

Hi Amruta.   The problem seems to have come out of nowhere.    I added quite a bit more code, but when I remove that code the problem does not go away.  

    I have two MS-FET, and I have several target boards.  I also have more than one laptop.  I just reloaded Code Composer on both machines.  I got the emulator running for a while, but then I changed the code and tried to attach the emulator again, and sure enough it won't load.

   The problem is not consistent.  Sometimes I can attach after I reboot the laptop for instance.

  Sometimes after I clean the project, then the emulator will attach.

I just got the emulator to attach again by cycling power on the target.  I never used to have to do this kind of thing.  

Hi Tom,

Are you plugging into a high speed USB port on your laptop?

Amruta Deole

Yes, I have tried that.  Using two different laptops, two different MSP-FET, different cables, different targets.  This is very confusing.   I un-installed and re-installed CCS on both laptops.  

Hi Tom,

To double check, are you plugging into a high speed USB port? Some laptops with these ports have had an issue with the MSP-FET in the past.
