MSP430FR5043: Using USS Design Center with MSP-FET : No connected HID Devices

robert coggeshall
Prodigy 20 points
Part Number: MSP430FR5043
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSP430F5528

Tool/software:

We have been using the EVM430FR6047 ultrasonic sensing evaluation module along with Ultrasonic Sensing Descign Center Software  (USS) with reasonable success.

We are now trying to use the USS software with the MSP430FR5043 in a custom design. We have recompiled MSP4306047EVM_USS_Water_Demo and flashed it using an MSP-FET programmer.

The problem is when we attempt to attempt to connect with USS we get No Connected HID Devices

Searching the forum we have found the recommendation that we must use the ez-FET emulation on the EVM430-6047 eval board connected to our target via I2C.

Is this the only option? Is there no way to use the MSP-FET with USS?

Thanks!

    Hi Robert,

    That is correct: the USS Design Center GUI communicates with the EVM's HID bridge, which is implemented by the MSP430F5528. The EVM430-FR5043 does not have this functionality, so you need to utilize the HID bridge from another EVM. Then the HID bridge communicates using I2C (or I believe you can switch it to UART as well), so you can connect the HID bridge's I2C pins to a bus connected to the EVM430FR5043, which should enable you to use the USS Design center GUI. 

    So in short, you can use the MSP-FET with USS in the sense that you can program a USS device with it, but you can't implement the USS Design Center GUI functionality using the MSP-FET.
