Original question:

MSP430F5529: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found

Compiler/MSP430F5528: Energia/UART communication issues with FDC1004 EVM

Part Number: MSP430F5528
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC1004, ENERGIA, MSP430F5529,

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I am using FDC1004 EVM board which as the inbuilt MSP430F5528 microcontroller i want read the capacitance values of the sensors which as in the EVM module.My FDC1004 EVM  is working fine with GUI which is given by TI only . I am trying to read it using the Energia 1.8.7E21 IDE as suggested by the one of the document by the TI.But i am not able to read the data because in the Energia doesn't have the  MSP430F5528 microcontroller selection option but the document says select  MSP430F5529 so i selected and trying to upload the file which is given by the TI ,but the IDE is giving some errors like

Configuring Debugger (may take a few minutes on first launch)...
Initializing Register Database...
Initializing: MSP430
error: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found
Failed: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found

the selected serial port
does not exist or your board is not connected

I followed the following steps while start to code which is suggested by TI

Energia & the Code
1. Download Energia -

2. Open Program in Energia – File -> Open -> *Select “.ino” file*

3. Plug in LaunchPad via USB and Connect i. Tools -> Board -> Launchpad w/ msp430f5529 (16MHz) ii. Tools -> Serial Port -> *Select one of the two COM ports* (if serial output is not shown once program is running, select the other COM port option)

4. Compile and Flash – Click the button “Upload” & wait until prompt says it has completed


5. Open Serial Monitor - Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner  
Hardware – FDC1004

I am able to select the device as well as the COM Port but still it is giving same errors .Please help me to solve this problem.

    Hello Puneeth,

    What did you use to upload the program to MSP430 device? 

    The EVM is not a Launchpad. Launchpad include a on board FET to program the device but the EVM does not include FET. You will need a FET tool or a Launchpad  to program a MSP430 device. 

    Thanks,
