Hi,
so tonight I finally found some time to work on one of my projects that is based around MSP430 microcontroller. I've designed PCB and made my first prototype. After soldering everything together the last thing I would expect to cause problems was LaunchPad since I've used it before many times. I started out with GRACE and it was very easy and fun to set up my MCU. Then I wrote some test code and thought to my self how happy I am to have such great, easy to use tools to develop code so quickly. And then I clicked debug button and BOOOOM!! Error initializing emulator:
No USB FET was found!
What went wrong? Did I mess something up? Then I found MSP-FET430UIF in Device Manager under Other devices (The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)).
Lets try searching automatically for updated driver (online): Windows could not found driver software for your device.
Ok, that's weird...
Lets try manually. Driver should be located in C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\drivers\msp430\USB_FET_Win7_64
Windows could not found driver software for your device.
At this point I wasn't quite sure what to do anymore and quite frantic. Last idea I had was to update MSP430 Emulators (Help -> About Code Composer Studio -> Installation Details -> Installed software: MSP430 Emulators), hoping drivers too would get updated. After installation and manual driver installation: Windows could not found driver software for your device.
Ps.
MSP-eZ430U Chronos Debug Interface is working normally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
