TI CCS and FET-PRO430 continue to have mismatched firmware versions

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

I use both the TI CCS debugger and FET-PRO430 software to program intel hex files.  But switching between the two is such a headache because both programs see the USB programmer as out of date and always wants to sync to it's own version.

Is there not a way to get both software to agree on one version and stick with it?

    Hello Vern,

    I share in your frustration but there is really no easy way to have both IDEs agree on a software version. Each compiler comes with its own version of MSP430.DLL which is why you get asked to update each time: the current FET firmware doesn't match the version of the currently used MSP430.DLL. The same thing happens if you were to try programming via Energia. You may be able to refuse the update through the settings and chances are that it will work anyway so long as the changes are too small to have a negative effect. Another option is to use the same instance of MSP430.DLL in all installed compilers (which will work as long as there is not too much difference in the functionality - a newer DLL will more likely work with an older compiler than otherwise). JMG covers this topic fairly well in the following thread: e2e.ti.com/.../237389

    Regards,
    Ryan
