MSP430G2452 does not work with LaunchPAD board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2452

MSP430G2452 does not work with LaunchPAD board. program builds successfully. Correct MCU is selected at the time of creation of the new project.

Gives error
"can not write to flash" when try to start debug session

  • i´m not sure about it, i´ve worked with 3 different MSP430G2452 in 2 different launchpad boards and they all worked fine. Maybe the chip has been damaged, although i think this is improbably.  Try to use another MSP430G2452.

  • thanks for your quick reply.

    I expect this chip to work as documented in the list of supported devices.

    Is it possible if the flash is locked (security), I get this error ?

  • The first MSP430G2452 i got, was the one that comes with the 'capacitive touch boosterpack' and even that MCU, wich was preprogrammed with a demo wasn´t locked or in security mode. I have not enough experience to ensure you that the error is not caused by any security configuration, but at least in the time i´ve been working with the MSP family (about half a year xD) i haven´t found any chip protected.

    I think this is redundant, but sometimes i fix some problems similar to yours just closing the CCS or the IAR, disconnecting the launchpad from the PC and restarting it all.

    Expect this is helpfull!good luck!

  • I found that this was a known issue, and they have come up with a update for the firmware for the launchpad. I will update tonight and see it it works.
