When plugging in MSP-FET430UIF (V 1.4a, ser # 10086554909R), CCS6 told me it needs a firmware update. I agreed and the firmware updated started. However, the progress bar froze at about 95% of the update for about 15 min, then the update window vanished. Now, when I plug in the FET, the green power LED stays OFF, CCS does not recognize the FET, windows device manager (Win7, 64-bit) shows the device as a COM (COM14) but not as an MSP-FET430. I downloaded the drivers and tried to manually update the driver, but I get "the latest driver is already installed". When I completely delete the device in the device manager and re-install, I get the warning: "this driver is not intended for this platform". I tried to run the Elpotronic Flash tool, but it told me "cannot communicate with the device".
It seems since the crash of the firmware update, the on-board FLASH on the FET is corrupted. Is there a way to manually re-program the on-board flash?
