MSP430G2553: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: Could not find MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port

Hello Tejen,

Please refer to this post: 

(+) MSP-FET: giving unable to connect error - MSP low-power microcontroller forum - MSP low-power microcontrollers - TI E2E support forums

And you can find the driver in this post. FET430UIF is the old production, but his driver is same as MSP-FET. If you can't resolve your issue after reading this post, maybe your 430UIF is broken. You can try to change to use the MSP-FET which can be bought from Ti.com

Hi Janz

This launchpad is what i trying to connect with my laptop.

Can i connect it directly through mini usb port? 

Hello Tejen,

I am out of office today, I will reply to you soon

Hello Tejen,

Yes, you can connect it with your PC through the USB because it already has the on-board debugger. And about the usage of this LaunchPad, I think you can refer to the post I shared with you and the user guide of this LaunchPad. In theory, if the board was not broken and you refer to the user guide, you can use it normally.

And about other points such as the driver, you can continue to refer to the post I shared with you.
