Hello,
I'm currently programming a MSP430 MCU using Code Composer Studio 5.3 and it seems like I'm having issues my MSP-FET430UIF device (Version 1.4a).
From the information that I have gathered it seems that the firmware of my MSP-FET430UIF is not updated and thus it is not compatible with CCS 5.3 (the red LED blinks 3 times before the green LED is on), in fact, Windows recognizes my device, but as a VCP device instead of a CDC device. See the following screen captures:
I have tried to update the firmware by following the steps described in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSPDS_Debugger_Up-_and_Downgrade, but no firmware update tool is being executed when I launch a debug, instead I get this error: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found
I have also tried to update the firmware using FET PRO430 LITE, but I get the following error when I try to perform a firmware update or even when I try to get the firmware version:
This is the connection configuration I have:
I have run out of ideas, I don't know, maybe I am missing something really, really stupid, but I just can't figure out what it is.
Has anyone had similar issues? Is there another way to update the firmware version of a MSP-FET430UIF device? Is it possible that there could be some sort of hardware issue with my device?
Thanks a lot in advance.
