MSP430FR2433: MSP430FR2433: A firmware update is required for the MSP430 Debug Interface (MSP-FET430UIF / MSP-FET / eZ-FET). Click the "Update" button to update the firmware and launch your debug session (this may require several update steps).

Hi Dolv,

Do you see the board EZ-FET connected when you look in Device Manager? It should look something like the below (COM# may be different).

yes its connected, ccs last version date of today 31/03/2023, i prove it with the default online blin.c example , neither work

Hi Dolv,

Do you mean you tried flashing via CCS Cloud (https://dev.ti.com/ide)? Or just that you pulled the blink example from the resource explorer and tried to flash it in the standalone CCS?

Have you tried a different USB cable, USB port, or PC? My next recommendation would be to try flashing an example project in CCS cloud or Uniflash (https://dev.ti.com/uniflash) just to verify that this is not a board* issue.

hi Brandon:

i havent tried ccs cloud, i used the desk ccs last version to search the example and flash it, energìa also has the similar error a infinit loop o firmware loading ,

also when i connect the launchpad the green led blink a milisecond and then just turn off to turn on the red led forever, the pc isnt the problem the ports neither its the board but i have hope it has a solution 

thaks

hi Brandon,

ok im trying first uniflash i follow the steps ,which image do i supposed to charge , any example ? ill try to do it and ill tell you

.dolv

Dolv,

Any example is fine, the blink example would work too.

It sounds like the firmware on your ezfet may be corrupted. You can try the steps that David discussed in this post: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp-low-power-microcontrollers-group/msp430/f/msp-low-power-microcontroller-forum/237389/msp-fet430uif-firmware-update-problems-fet-bricked-then-resolved

You would need to download MSP Flasher to try this: https://www.ti.com/tool/MSP430-FLASHER

hi  Brandon, i have do al the steps and i couldnt get ot a solution on uniflash, mspflaher etc :

 * Exit Update Bootlader and reboot firmware.
* FET firmware is up to date.
* Reading FW version...done
* Setting VCC to 3000 mV...
# Exit: 44
# ERROR: Could not set device Vcc
* Powering down...done
* Disconnecting from device...
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* ERROR on close: Could not set device Vcc

the filmware just doesnt want to get update or fixed

Hi Dolv,

This may not be just a firmware issue, it may be a hardware or setup issue. If you probe the 3.3V rail on the launchpad from the Ez-FET lite, do you see the voltage level is correct? Do you have all the jumpers populated correctly?
