Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2132

I've read several posts that have the same end result, but none of the solutions fixes my issue.

I'm running

  • CCS v5
  • MSP430Flasher.exe v1.2
  • Windows 7
  • MSP430 Launchpad board
When I look at the details of the device driver, I see it listed as a 'Universal Serial Bus controller' with hardware ids
  • USB\VID_0451&PID_F432&REV_0100
  • USB\VID_0451&PID_F432
When I try to use the MSPFlasher, I get:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSP430Flasher-1.2.0>MSP430Flasher.exe -n MSP430F2132 -w "
Firmware.txt" -v -g -z [VCC]

* Evaluating triggers...done
* Checking for available FET debuggers:
* Couldn't find any connected USB FETs!
# Exit: 11
# (null)
* Disconnecting from device...done

* Driver : closed ((null))

*/

I saw discussion of using MSPDebug, but I wasn't able to figure out how to update to that driver.

Is there something else I should try?

Thanks,

Robert
