Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2
Hi,
I was recently starting to use the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad with the MSP430G2231 chip on Mac OS X.
I could successfully install the drivers and the Energia software. I did also successfully flashed new programs to the MSP430G2231, not only with the Energia but also by using the mspdebug on the command line.
But then I disconnected the board from my Mac for a few minutes and when I tried to use it again, it seems to have stopped working. When I connect it to the computer, it shows up as: Texas Instruments TUSB3410 Boot Device, with ID 0451:3410 (not the expected 0451:f432).
I even tried to setup everything on a Windows 10 machine. I've downloaded and installed the drivers and the Energia, but even Windows only shows up TUSB3410 Boot Device in the device manager.
It seems to me that the ez430 debugger bricked somehow. But I can tell the MSP430G2231 is still working, since every time I connect the board to the power, it runs the last flashed program.
Any ideas on what could have happened? Would you suggest any workaround to keep programming the MSP chip?
Thanks!
Hi Bruno
You can follow the user's guide for the ez430 more detail you can refer to the MSP Debuggers user's guide in the chapter 3.2
Hi Gary,
Yes, there were no drivers installed previously. And I've tried installing them exactly as you described (running as Administrator, restarting the computer).
The link you provided seems to be a different issue. Even though, after checking it out, I've tried installing the TUSB3410 driver as well, but without success.
As you can see in the image below, my MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad board appears only as TUSB3410 device and not as like in the image of your first answer, where it says it should be shown as USB Composite Device/MSP430 Application UART (COM205)/USB Input Device.
So, still no solution found.
Hi Gary,
I've tried all the above on a Windows machine. Even though my primary development machine is a Mac, I would still be happy if I can get it working with Windows.
The machine I'm using is a Dell Inspiron with an Intel Core i5 3rd Gen, 2.5 GHz, 4GB of RA, running with Windows 10.
Thanks
