CCS/MSP430G2855: MSP430G2855 doesn't work

Part Number: MSP430G2855
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553, MSP-EXP430F5529LP, MSP-EXP430FR5969, MSP-FET

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I've bought a MSP430G2855 microcontroller and I will program it with the launch pad (MSP-EXP430G2) and Code Composer Studio (V 7.2.0). But when I compile and run the program, Code Composer shows the error message:

"Error connecting to the target: Could not find device (or device not supported)"

Under "project --> properties" the correct controller is selected. I have connected the pins DVCC, DVSS, AVCC, AVSS, TEST and RESET between the mc and the launch pad and the slot of the launch pad ist empty.

Is it even possible to program this microcontroller with the launch pad "MSP-EXP430G2"? On the ti-webseite of the microcontroller, this launch pad is listed under "tools & software", but in the manual of the launch pad the controller MSP430G2855 isn't listed under "supported devices". The othere comtrollers (for example "MSP430G2553") works fine with this configuration.

Where is my mistake?

Cheers
Marcel
