MSP430F5529: Device Descriptor Request Failed: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Part Number: MSP430F5529

Tool/software:

Currently I am working with MSP430 microcontroller (5529) where I need to enable USB communication in CDC mode. Every time I am connecting USB port to PC I am getting the below notification (Device Descriptor Request Failed): In device manager I am getting a bit description Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

The above issue is present everywhere irrespective of the Source code. Hardware also verified twice. Placed MSP430_CDC.inf in the Window/INF folder manually. Even after all these correction got no success yet. No clue to move ahead.

Hi, thanks for the question! What debug interface are you using to connect to the device via USB? I would also recommend looking at similar posts on this topic here to see if any of the suggested solutions work for your case.

I am using MSP430 USB - Debug-Interface (MSP-FET430UIF).

When I am Trying to update driver created by "MSPUSBDescriptorTool-5_00_11_22", the host PC says "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." It seems the driver is not working for 64bit OS running on host PC.

Another observation is, the sample code provided by TI USB for CDC class is working on LaunchPad (MSP-EXP430F5529LP), This is the only set of code is working, though it is not useful to me as the USB data pins are not accessible directly from outside board.

Still struggling on it

Hi Partha, you may be able to leverage this tool for the USB interfacing: https://www.ti.com/tool/MSP430USBDEVPACK. What IDE are you using for development with this device?
