EZ430 Chronos Code Composer Support

Hello,

Can I use Code Composer Essentials V3.1 SR1 to program EZ430 Chronos?

I am having trouble loading (compile works fine) the program into the dev kit (watch).

After compilation, it tells me that

Exception occurred during launch
Reason: Failed to load program 'HelloWorld.out' on target 'TI MSP430 USB1/MSP430'.
Reason: Cannot write to target

However, if I install Code Composer Core V4 that came with the CD, I can load the program fine onto the device.

Is EZ430 Chronos not supported by Code Composer Essentials V3.1 SR1?

Thank you!

    Hi KC,

    CCEv3.1 SR1 supports the CC430, but not the black emulator, that ships with the Chronos kit. If you would use the UIF interface it would work. However, you would have to solder a special cable to connect to the watch module.

    Something else you could try is to use the MSP430.DLL (software that links the harware interface and the IDE together) from CCSv4.0 (not the current versions!) and replace the MSP430.DLL in CCEv3.

    Another critical item is that the Chronos projects were created on CCSv4, I doubt that they are functional on CCEv3.x out of the box.

    Hope this this helps.

    Regards,
    Markus

    KC,

    in case I wasn't clear regarding the interface: by UIF I meant the MSP-FET430UIF USB interface.
