MSP Debug Stack Driver for Windows 10

Hi Billy,

The MSPDS tools page states that the MSP Debug Stack is officially supported on Windows 8/10 for 32- and 64-bit, and it has been tested and confirmed as such. But I understand the confusion that is created when the downloaded materials indicate that only certain OSs are supported so thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will alert the MSPDS experts of this issue where they can decide if the Web Team needs to make changes to the tools page or download materials so further confusion is avoided.

Regards,
Ryan

Thanks Ryan,

Can you confirm that Windows 8 and 10 use the packaged Windows 7 driver?

The impression is that its an incomplete package and “missing” a Windows 8 and 10 directory.

Thanks for the help,
Billy

Hi Ryan, Florian,

Can someone please confirm what physical driver Windows 10 would be using since there is not a specific directory for that, and provide some feedback about the initial issue brought up?

Thanks,
Billy

Billy,

Is the customer not confident with using their IDE? CCS installs the appropriate drivers automatically, can the customer view the folder directory under ccsv6 -> drivers -> msp430 and comment on what drivers are installed for their Windows 10 OS?

Hi Ryan,

We were looking for feedback from your team to confirm that there was not supposed to be a Windows 10 directory in the package. I think you and I have confirmed that although I never heard back from anyone else about the web feedback if so.

The second part brought up was what specific driver would Windows 10 be using from this package, if someone decides to go this route versus the bundled emulation package in CCS.

Thanks,
Billy
