MSP432P401R: How to use MSP-FETFlash enumalation tool for first time

Part Number: MSP432P401R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

I am new to TI MCU. I have a MSP432P401R custom board. ALso I have MSP-FETFlash Enumalation tool. I have connected this enumalator (14 pin connector) to the MSP432 J-TAg pins.  Unfortunately I am unable to see the device in Keil microvision tool.  I have uniflash installed on my desktop. There I can see the MCU name but Im unable to go furthur. Do I need to use any other softwares?.

Also I wanted to connect the Bluetooth to the MSP432 and flash the firmware to BLE RAM via MSP432. How can I achieve this?.Thank you.

    Hello,

    I would recommend referencing the User's guide which discusses the FET and the adapter.  Specifically for the microvision IDE, please see section 6 of this document.  This states that the FET is not included/tested successfully with the IDE.  You will need to confirm compatibility with Kiel to see if the FET has been added.  

    For the firmware download you are describing you would need to identify the interconnect, SPI, UART, I2C?  This will determine which example you should look for in resource explorer.  

    Regards,

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for your message. I decided to test the FET. I have started an blinky project on https://dev.ti.com/ide  online IDE.

    I have connected the FET to my custom board. When I run the code it showing an error. 

    Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe/CS_DAP_0
    Error connecting to the target: (Error -260 @ 0x0) An attempt to connect to the XDS110 failed. The cause may be one or more of: no XDS110 is connected, invalid firmware update, invalid XDS110 serial number, or faulty USB cable. The firmware and serial number may be updated using the xdsdfu utility found in the .../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of your installation. View the ReadMe.txt file there for instructions. (Emulation package 8.1.0.00007)
    Im sure that firmware is up todate because I have tested on MSP432 breakout board. Also Im sure that no other XDS110 is connected. I think this may be a problem of serial number. My FET serial number is  1705003C4.
    I tried to open the xdsdfu in the above mentioned folder unfortunately it is not opening. I deinstalled and try to install it. i see there are some errors while installing and then I clicked ignor. Is this the problem?. Also i did not find ti_emupack_setup for windows 64bits. 
    Can you please suggest the solution?. Thank you.

    In the project properties are you selecting the MSP430 USB?
