Question posted for a Student from Devry University Participating in the TI Analog Design Contest



I have the msp430 ez430-rf2500 and I connected to my pc with windows 7 64 bit. I used the demo temperature program to test the connection and works fine. Then I install the IAR embedded workbench and made a little program to start programming the device. Yet, I am getting an error and that says : "Fatal error : Failed to initialize" Check if hardware is connected Check if drivers are installed Try to restart the computer Tools using the parallel port are not supported on windows vista" Is there any additional driver I have to install or is this error because I have windows 7 64 bit? Please help me. I need help to continue with my project in my current class. You can call me if you want. Sincerely, Aaron Arellano]

[Steps Needed to Recreate Problem:

I putted the next program in the IAR workbench
#include "io430.h"
 
int main( void )
{
  // Stop watchdog timer to prevent time out reset
  WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;
  P1DIR |=0x03;
  P1OUT |=0x03;
  while(1);
  //return 0;
}//Switching on both LEDs
 
Then I pressed CTRL+D to compile and then I got the error stated above.
 
Could someone help with the question that the student from Devry has above? The student's email address is aarellano3@my.devry.edu.
Thanks very much,
Kausalyaa. 
  •  Hi, simply UIF cannot be found or is not recognized, try connect UIF, locate failed driver in hardware resource then uninstall driver.

     After that reisnstall correct driver and retry.

    If problem still continue test on another pc.

     Regards
