MSP430FR4133: Error initializing emulator: Unable to locate entry point for MSP430_RegisterMessageCallback

Part Number: MSP430FR4133
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hello everyone,

      I am working on MSP430FR4133 controller and using CCS V7 version.I am using MSP-FET device.When i was debug the code getting "Error initializing emulator:Unable to locate entry point for MSP430_RegisterMessageCallback"error.

FET device install properly in system and it enumerate both application UART and debug interface com port in device manager.

JTAG connections on my board are:-

1-TDO, 2-NC, 3-TDI, 4-3.3V supply, 5-TMS, 6-NC, 7-TCK, 8-TEST, 9-GND, 10-NC, 11-RST, 12-NC, 13-NC, 14-NC.

  • Hi,

    I believe this issue is related to the one found in this thread: e2e.ti.com/.../468241

    As stated in that thread, I would suggest that you try downloading and installing a new DLL from the Wiki page: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../MSP_Debug_Stack. You could also check CCS for updates.

  • Hi,

    Did this resolve your issue?

  • Not yet.As per your suggestions i am downloading and installing a new DLL and update CCSV7 also.As per stated above the connections are right or wrong?? Target board is power up externally so the Vcc of target board connected to pin no 4.Should I configure anything on ccs so it can recognize my device??How should I configure CCSV7??
  • Hi,

    All of the connections look fine except for your vcc. If you are powering the target board externally, then you shouldn't need to apply power to the MSP-FET using pin 4 (it's being powered via USB). You could also try using pin 2 to power the target board via the MSP-FET instead of using external power.

    As for CCS, make sure that when you create your project you choose "MSP430" for family and "MSP430FR4133" for variant. This should set up your configuration correctly.

  • Hi NathanS,

    as per your suggestion I am disconnecting power from pin 4 (pin 4is left open) and debug the code but, still the error is getting.I am also trying to power the target board using MSP-FET using pin 2 but the error is same.
    In datasheet they are given, if external power supply is used, then make connection on pin no 4 and you are saying MSP-FET is powered via USB (there is no need to apply power to FET using pin 4 means pin 4 is left open).please tell me the exact connections for MSP-FET interface to controller??
    what is significance of mode led on emulator board??

     I am attaching a screenshot of connection diagram between JTAG and msp430

  • Hi Sayali,

    Could you please clarify what target board you are using? I am not sure what you mean by "mode LED".

    Since powering the MSP-FET via USB and through pin 4 are both giving you the error, I suspect that it is being caused by something else (all of your other JTAG connections look fine). Have you tried my original suggestion (installing a new DLL)?
