EXP430F5529LP Unknown Device with external target

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2955, MSP430F5529

Hi,

I have an application (custom PCB) with a MSP430G2955 that I successfully programmed with the FET430UIF using Spy-By-Wire. However the FET430UIF was only borrowed so I bpught myself the EXP430F5529LP Launchpad since it says in  the documentation that it can program/debug "almost any MSP430 device".


However, I keep getting "Unknown Device" in CCS5.5 .


I uploaded a video that shows whats happening on the target when I try to program. The application I successfully flashed before initializes the XT1 oscillator and lights 2 LEDs on success, while error flag set a red LED on the left stays on. So to me it looks like the emulator resets the target a few times before giving up.

Here's the video:

- Is my target "too new" to be supported by the LaunchPad?

- Is there any sense in removing the 2.2nF capacitor on  the reset line? I followed the guidelines for in-system-programming in the HW-Tools Userguide (47k resistor to Vcc and 2.2n to ground on reset line, TEST line straight connected) and as already mentionend with the FET430UIF it works just fine that way.
