Problem with MSP-FET430UIF

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F449

i had problem with my MSP FET USB- debugger-interface no my CCEV3.1. In fact i post a problem before also on drivers. But my problem now is coming with more strange. This JTAG works fine in other computer but not on mine. System cannot install JTAG, always say fatal error and quit the dirver installation. In system device manager, we can see clearly the problem from driver.

I have try following steps to renew my environment.

  1. uninstall previous CCEV 3.1

  2. restart computer and install CCE V3.1 SR1 (download new from TI web)

   3. drivers in CCEV3.1 SR1 is still not work on my FET.

What could be the problem? how i can do with that?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    If the tool works on other PCs then we know the hardware is OK. If you have the latest CCE then the latest drivers are being used. There has to be some kind of conflict related to this exact PC. For an extra data point, try installing the drivers using the IAR tool and see if you get a different error.

  • Hi~

    I also  think it should be somewhere conflict in my machine. I have installed  IAR workbench following the link you given, but the same problem remains.

  • Hi

    Finally, i reinstall my operating system and the problem on FET has been gone. However, another one comes on my CCE. I had several projects work fine before (can compile and debug on my MSP430F449), now it cannot compile through, in console it says in following picture

     

     Every project comes with this problem when i try to build the project, even i create a new one with sample code from TI.

    I feel very strange about this and i am new to MSP430. Hope you can help me with an answer

    Thanks

  • Check the setting of the TEMP and TMP User Environment variables on your PC. These are under Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables.

    The default TEMP variable is usually set to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp. During the build process, the compiler generates and stores temporary files in the directory set by this environment variable, and sometimes the compiler either has permission problems or problems with spaces in the path. Try changing the environment variables to something simple like c:\temp or similar, and that should resolve the problem.

  • Hi Kebin,

    you're saying you're new to the MSP430; because of that I think it would be a good idea to read through this excellent thread in the forum: http://e2e.ti.com/forums/t/65.aspx 

    It is a 'getting started guide for CCE' and maybe it will fix your problem.
