MSP-EXP430G2ET: does not recognized by mspdebug on Unix (Mac and Linux), when MSP-EXP430G2 works perfectly with it.

Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2ET
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553

I worked on the MSP-EXP430G2 and it was fine. Recently I bought MSP-EXP430G2ET boards.

So, while I can perfectly program my MSP430G2553 mcu with the  MSP-EXP430G2 on both MAC and Linux, using the mspdebug utility, it do not recognize my new MSP-EXP430G2ET board.

Any suggestions?

  • Hello,

    As explained in another post very similar to yours, MSPDebug is an open source project so our familiarity with it is very limited.

    The customer in the other thread linked above was able to resolve their issue by using MSPDS so this may be an option for you. You could message that user directly if you think that you could benefit from hearing about their steps used to compile and run the software successfully on the MSP430G2ET.

    Best regards,

    Matt

  • Hi,

    As mentioned above, mspdebug is not created by TI so our support for customers using it is very limited.

    I did some searching around and found some resources that might be of use to you:

    https://blog.kutej.net/2019/03/msp-exp430g2et-linux

    https://github.com/dlbeer/mspdebug/issues/81 This is a forum where your issue is directly discussed and the developer of mspdebug is also providing support there as well.

    Best regards,

    Matt
