MSP430 USB Debug Interface Device Driver

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F427A, TRF7960

Im currently using MSP430F427A as a chip and had made a debugger board for it with jtag interface. I have acquired MSP430 USB-Debug Interface (MSP-FET430UIF) to connect to my debugger board via JTAG, the problem is i really cant find anywhere the driver for this device. Everytime I search for it, I end up clicking on a link which led me to the TI site, but there's still no device driver for me in there.

Im using IAR Embedded Workbench to simulate my code but since i still have no device driver for my usb-debug interface, I cant debug it in the hardware itself.

I dont know if this device is obsolete but based on the TI site, it is still active. Can anyone help me where to find this device driver? Thanks!!!

    Marky,

    in a default installation of IAR Embedded Workbench, the Windows device driver for the MSP-FET430UIF should be located at the following location (the path might be slightly different depending on your setup):

    C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.3 Kickstart\430\drivers\TIUSBFET\WinXP

    Try to manually point the driver wizard to this location, it should pick up the driver from there.

    Regards,
    Andreas

    Hi

    I am facing the same problem regarding MSP-FET430UIF with target TRF7960 EVM kit.

    While downloding the code it is giving error... even it is not initializing the hardware.

    I have properly installed the driver at path they have mentioned in doc still is saying that check the driver installation or hardware connectivity.

    Is there any other setting which is needed to do in configuration or options.

    Kindly suggest.

    Thank You in advance!
