CCS 6.1.1 does not recognizes Launchpad MSP-EXP430F5529LP in windows 10

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430F5529LP, MSP430F5529

I have upgraded to windows 10 and now CCS does not recognizes MSP-EXP430F5529LP. The following message is shown when I try to debug a program:

No USB FET found.

If I connect a MSP-EXP430G2 Launchpad CCS founds it and works properly.

I have notice a difference between this to evaluation boars in Windows Device Manager in "Ports (COM & LPT) when are connected:

- MSP430G2 board: 2 COMs are installed with name "MSP Application UART1 (COMx)" and "MSP Debug Interface (COMy)"

- MSP430F5529 board: 2 COMs are installed but not as "MSP", instead two "generic" COMs are installed....

If I do the same process in windows 7 or 8.1 Device Manager shows both boards as "MSP COMs" and both boards works properly..

Maybe Windows 10 does not recognizes USB interface of the MSP-EXP430F5529LP properly.

Any suggestion to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Jose Bosch

    Hi Josep,

    The fact that the MSP-EXP430G2 works whereas the MSP-EXP430F5529LP does not indicates that the issue does not have to do with the machine's USB port, and getting it to work in Windows 7/8.1 lets us know that the F5529 Launchpad is in fact operational. This leads me to believe that the eZ-FET lite drivers indeed did not install properly. This makes sense seeing as how the MSP-EXP430G2 contains a different kind of emulator (eZ430) which requires different drivers that appear to have installed correctly. Please download the latest CDC drivers from processors.wiki.ti.com/.../MSP_Debug_Stack, section "Low-Level USB Drivers"

    Hi Ryan,

    Thank you very much for your help. Effectively, the problem was related with the eZ-lite drivers. It seems that the drivers were lost during the migration from windows 7 to windows. The process is automatic for the installed applications, CCS one of this, but not for all drivers. My mistake was that, as installed the last CCS version (6.1.1, before I have the 6.1.0) I supposed that the drivers were already installed too, but this does not happened. As you suggested me, I have downloaded the CDC drivers and now it works properly.

    Thank you very much,

    Jose Bosch

    Good to hear that and could not imagine Windows 10 was the reason since it is running fine with this combination of LP and CCS on my Windows 10 machine. , could you mark Ryan's answer as the solution to your problem? Thanks in advance!
