CCS: MSP-FET / eZ-FET legacy module update failed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR6989, MSP-FET, ENERGIA

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have been working on the MSP430FR6989 Launchpad device since las few months and everything was Ok.Suddenly, i get this message.

MSP430: Error initializing emulator: A firmware update is required for the MSP430 Debug Interface (MSP-FET430UIF / MSP-FET / eZ-FET). Click the "Update" button to update the firmware and launch your debug session (this may require several update steps).  DO NOT UNPLUG THE INTERFACE  

When i click on update, i get this message

MSP430: Error: MSP-FET / eZ-FET legacy module update failed

I tried again, but the result was same.I thoght that i might have damaged the Hardware, but i am able to detect the MSp430 UART interface & The MSP430 Debug interface on my PC.

when i connect the Power to the board, the on board LCD flashes on and then immediately goes off.This happens on every power cycle.

please suggest what is the problem & how to overcome it...

    Sorry, i was on leave so could not reply.

    The above links did not solve the problem.What i did was that i tried to upload a sketch with energia on the same board.Energia was some how able to update the MSP debug firmware.Then i did the same thing with CCS V6 on the same board, and to my surprise, the update was successful and now i am able to use the board.

    But i still dont understand the real issue behind this...if any one can figure out the problem, it wail help many...

    Hi Punit,

    Unfortunately I don't have an explanation for why that solved your issue. I'll look into it further but for now I'm closing this thread. I'm glad you were able to solve the issue.

    Best regards,
