MSP430F4152: Programming issue with new MSP-FET programmer

Part Number: MSP430F4152
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

We have a PCB that uses a MSP430F4152 chip that we have been programming with a MSP-FET programmer since 2017. We are trying to setup a second programming station.  We are using the MSP430Flasher_1.3.7 with a batch file. The programmer from 2017 (SN 1512007C7) works fine. The newly purchased programmer (SN 220200B29) fails with an "Could not set device Vcc" and exit code of 44. Other then the programmer, everything else is then same; PC, programming cable, etc.

==== programming command from batch file =====

MSP430Flasher.exe -n MSP430F4152 -w "FRM00005_AD.txt" -v -g -z [VCC]

===== Output from batch file =====

* Evaluating triggers...done
* Checking for available FET debuggers:
* Found USB FET @ COM23 <- Selected
* Initializing interface @ COM23...done
* Checking firmware compatibility:
* FET firmware is up to date.
* Reading FW version...done
* Setting VCC to 3000 mV...
# Exit: 44
# ERROR: Could not set device Vcc
* Starting target code execution...done
* Disconnecting from device...done

Thanks!

  • Could you help to show the connection signals between MSP-FET with MSP430F4152 ?

    Could you help to check if the new MSP-FET can connect with device with CCS or IAR?

    Could you help to check the hardware design on reset pin and test pin in our board?
