MSP-EXP430G2ET: Connecting MSP-EXP430G2ET to Windows GUI for RF430FRL152HEVM Communication

You can try to test the uart demo code here https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AB.0jCUB3vTkGXeSK72L9A__msp430ware__IOGqZri__LATEST 

If it works that means there is no issue related with MSP-EXP430G2ET, you may need to refer to the guide lines of the RF430FRL152HEVM User's Guide .

I tried uploading the UART demo code as well as following the setup instructions in the RF430FRL152HEVM datasheet (switched the orientation of jumper wires connecting TX, RX pins, flashed binary image with UniFlash to MSP), but still cannot connect through the GUI. When tapping the EVM to the MSP, D3 changes from red to purple, which leads me to believe that the device is being detected by the MSP. I have included images of my setup if it is helpful. Thank you.

How about this test result?
