MSP430 connection problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FG4618, MSP430F2013

I am trying to upload a program to my MSP430 board over MSP-FET430UIF.

I arranged the jumpers as user guide described, PWR2 disconnected, PWR1 connected, BATT not connected, VCC1 connected to FET, VCC2 not connected.

When I try to upload a basic blink program to the board I receive:

TI MSP430 USB1/MSP430

Error connecting to the targer:

Unknown device

If I activate PWR2 pin and try again I get:

Error connecting to the target: The target setup (MSP430FG4618) does not match the actual target type (MSP430F20x3)

I also have MSP-EXP430G2 board and I have no problem with sending a program to it with same Code Composer Studio.

I attached picture of the board and pins.

Hi,

you are using the MSP-EXP430FG4618 kit which has basically 2 MSPs on-board: MSP430FG4618 and MSP430F2013, and there are two JTAG headers on board.

Please refer to the kit User's Guide - http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau213a/slau213a.pdf - especially Appendix A and B for the pinout and jumper configurations.

The pins and settings were all correct, MSP-FET430UIF was not working. I returned it and got another one and everything is working now.
