MSP430F4132: MSP430F4132: MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool is NOT WORKING

Part Number: MSP430F4132
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

URGENT!!!!!

Hi, 

We have recently purchased a MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool from mouser. When I was trying to connect to MSP430F4132 through MSP-FET debugger with 4 wire JTAG connection(FET-Pro430 lite), it shows below error:

JTAG communication initialization.... failed

Verifying Security Fuse .................... failed
--------------- FAILED !!! -----------------
=====================================
JTAG communication initialization.... failed
Verifying Security Fuse .................... failed

When I tried to execute "Verify Security fuse" command it shows below error:

Target Microcontroller is not responding!!!

Please check the connection between the adapter and target microcontroller.

So I have also tried to download and debug from IAR workbench, there also no success and shows below error:

Let me know where I am going wrong or how to establish a connection with MSP430F4132 through JTAG 4 wire/2 wire?

  • Hi Aanchal,

    I don't know what you mean with the 10-pin JTAG connector, but can you confirm the connections to MSP430 are as shown below:

    Is it possible for you to test SBW mode? Note that the connection is as shown below:

    Finally, are you using your own board or a TI board (if so, which one)?

    Have you tried using the MSP-FET with other boards/devices?

    Is your MSP-FET updated with the latest drivers?

    Regards,

    Luis R

  • Hi Anachal,

    We haven’t heard back from you and there is a duplicate thread created by you, I’m assuming you were able to resolve your issue. If not, just post a reply below (or create a new thread if the thread has locked due to time-out) , Thanks
