#include for MSP430G2253

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2253

Hello,

I'm using IAR Workbench ver. 5.30.1; the device MSP430G2253 is included. But I still get the message "Fatal error: Could not find device (or device not supported)". I've tried #include <msp430.h>. But that doesn't work either.

Regards,

Krishna.

 

 

  • Krishna,

     

    how is your MSP430 connected to your PC? Are you using the right compiler for your MCU?

     

    Best regards

    Patrick

  • Patrick,

     

    My MSP430 is connected to the PC via the USB-Debug Interface.  In IAR Workbench 5.30.1, the general options category includes MSP430G2253. So I suppose that the workbench includes the compatible compiler.

    This is a hardware error and has nothing to do with your C code (or any #include statements'.

    When trying to downlaod the compiled binary to the MSP target chip, the FET cannot identify the intended target through the JTAG interface.
    The FET tries to idnetify the connected MSP and if this detection fails (because there is a problem with the physical connection, or no MSP there, or MSP not powered, or an MSP that is unknown to the FET - even if the compiler supports it), then you'll get this error.
