Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5438
Hello,
I have an MXP-EXP430F5438 board and an MSP-FET/MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool which I have been using in a old-ish computer with 64-bit Windows 7, building the MSPEXP430F5438(A) Example Software (SLAC227)... no problems after setting it up with the older compiler 4.1.5.
Now I took the same board and flash tool and installed drivers and CCS8 in a newer computer with 64-bit Windows 10 but I cannot make the debug/flash tool work, I keep getting the error: "MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found".
The one thing that I suspect is maybe a driver compatibility issue with Windows 10, since when I connect the experimenter board to the computer through USB, I hear the "USB connect-disconnect" double chime, not just the typical "USB connect" sound... and in the Device Manager it does not show up as "MSP-EXP430F5438 USB – Serial Port (COMxx)" as the Experimenter Board User Guide (slau263i) says, instead it shows up as "TUSB3410 Device (COMx)" as the screenshot below shows.
Also, the MSP-FET flash tool shows up as a USB Composite Device, which I believe is expected however I don't think the Hardware IDs match what I saw in another thread... not sure if what I see is still OK.
Here is what my build settings look like, the connection is kind of grayed out and hitting the Identify... button gives me the "No USB FET was found"... not sure if this is useful for trying to difure out what the problem may be:
Unfortunately I don't have the Windows 7 laptop with me to compare how the devices show up in the Device Manager but I was wondering if anybody out there has been able to use the MXP-EXP430F5438 board + Sample Software + MSP-FET tool under Windows 10... and if so, whether they had to get drivers other than what the User Guide shows.
Thank you in advance.
