Error initializing emulator: The voltage 1162 value is not correct/allowed for the USB FET

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, MSP-TS430PN80USB

Hi all,

Just looking for help with my CCS -> FET.  The details of my installation are:

  • Fresh, clean installation
  • version 5.4.0.00091
  • Host is Ubuntu 13.04 laptop.  Linux command 'lsusb' shows the FET tool as I expect to see it
  • Connected to MSP FET 430 UIF (firmware version 3.03 I think)
  • FET tool is connected to a MSP-TS430PN80 USB target board
  • Target board is populated with a 430F5529 chip
I double click on the first MSP430F552x One-Click Project File in the 'resource explorer' - flash the damned LED - and a simple project is created for me.  I click to debug, code compiles fine and then I get the error:
    Error initializing emulator: The voltage 1162 value is not correct/allowed for the USB FET
Sometimes the 1162 is a different but similar number.  The project Target Configuration -> Target -> Target Voltage is still at the default 3000.
I can't be the first to have this problem, but I can't find anything like this using Google.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

    I suspect a problem with how the MSP430F5529 is being powered in the MSP-TS430PN80USB target board. What are the jumpers set to on the target board, and is a USB cable connected to the target board?
     
    With no USB cable connected to the target board, the MSP430F5529 needs to be powered from the MSP-FET430UIF and JP3 on the target board needs to be set to the "int" position".
     
    (As an experiment on a different target board which was being powered from the MSP-FET430UIF I moved the power jumper from the "int" to "ext" position, and then got a "MSP430: Error initializing emulator: The voltage 1741 value is not correct/allowed for the USB FET" error. This condition means the MSP430 is being powered from it inputs and has insufficient power to operate correctly)

    Oh Chester I'm so embarrassed... So, I just started my first project since changing from Windows to Ubuntu, IAR to CCS, obviously a new FET to PCB adapter for the new PCB, running a new model MSP430, packaged in an untried QFN footprint.  It didn't work first try so I leapt to the other extreme and when it didn't work first try I panicked (sort of).  Time for me to slow, think and then go faster :)

    Just by the way, much prefer CCS to IAR.  Obviously much prefer Ubuntu to Windows.

    Thanks again!
