MSP430 GANG programmer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438A

Hi,

I just received my MSP430 GANG programmer.

I quickly wired it up to my target (MSP430F5438A), using the following connections:

Programmers 14pin header                             Target

1 TDO/TDI1                           ---->                        PJ.0/TDO

3 TDI/VPP                              ---->                        PJ.1/TDI/TCLK

5 TMS                                     ---->                        PJ.2/TMS

7 TCK                                     ---->                        PJ.3/TCK

8 TEST/VPP                          ---->                        TEST/SBWTCK

2 VCC_MSP                          ---->                        VCC

9 GND                                    ---->                        GND

Isn't this correct?

I use the MSP430 FLASH Gang Programmer GUI v1.51

Firmvare v1.51

Hardware v1.30

My problem is that whatever I do, I can't connect to target.

When I try to Erase, Program, Verify, programmer responds "ERROR: No target device connected" 

And when I try to "Read out Target", programmer just says "ERROR: Target not accessible"

I have tried with and without external power source, and with an without applying the checkmark "Use SpyBiWire"

 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

/Michael
