MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Hi,


I have a MSP430F5529LP. When trying to run the one of the examples (MSP430ware_1_95_00_32/examples/devices/5xx_6xx/ MSP430F55xx_Code_Examples/C/MSP430F55xx_1.c)  in CCS 6 running on Ubuntu 14.04, I get that error. What should I do? The label on the board does not start with 1401, so firmware upgrade is not required, right?

Regards,

    The LP identifies itself as an MSP430 ezFET device. If you have the proper drivers installed. The IDE looks for such a device. And apparently doesn’t find one.
    Unfortunately, I don’t know how the driver installation and device identification works on Linux.
    If a firmware upgrade is required, the MSP430 library will tell you - once it has found a device that needs an upgrade. In your case, it doesn’t find a device at all.

    Thank you for your help. After reading the docs for Linux, and trying several "solutions", I've finally decided to install CCS in a XP laptop. After installing the ezFET drivers in the laptop, I've been able to make it work.

    Regards,
