MSP430FR50431: MSP430FR50431

Part Number: MSP430FR50431
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR6043, , MSP430FR5041, MSP430FR5043

hi,

i build and try to debug the following TI code: msp430fr6043_euscib0_i2c_11.c. when trying to flash  i get this msg. in red:  

MSP430: Error connecting to the target: The target setup (MSP430FR50431) does not match the actual target type (MSP430FR6043)

however, after pressing ignore, it flashes and allows me to debug, i.e. step through the code.

what is exactly going on?

thanks,

  • In CCS, go to "Build Settings->General->Variant" and change the setting to MSP430FR50431. (While you're there, make sure the checkbox "Mange target-configuration automatically" is checked. It probably is.) The TI Examples for the FR50431 are all named "xxxFR6043xx", so I don't expect any significant problems with the ensuing re-build.

    I can't say whether a program built for the FR6043 will run correctly on an FR50431, since I don't know those devices well. Maybe it will be fine.

  • The main difference when the MSP430FR5043x and MSP430FR6043x is the LCD support. If you aren't using an LCD example it should be fine. 

    The main MSP430FR5043 vs MSP430FR5041 difference is the UART vs I2C bootloader respectively.
