MSP432P401R: ERROR 72: Clear locked MCU failed.

Part Number: MSP432P401R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-GANG

Hello,

I'm programming the MCU using MSP-GANG Programmer.

After program upload device is working correctly. There are no problems during program upload. (Assuming cabling and connection is correct)

I'm also securing JTAG/SWD using password file generated by MSP432P4XX Security and Update tool setting password in JTAG/SWD Lock.

I can't perform factory reset. When click Clear Locked Device I got ERROR 72: Clear locked MCU failed. I can't find information about this error.

Is it possible to perform factory reset without konwing the password?

If i know the password, should it be possible to perform factory reset without problems?

Regards

  • Hi Maciek,

    Yes this is possible. You will need to follow the steps "as described" in Code Composer Studio™ 7.1+ for SimpleLink MSP432 chapter 8.1 Factory Reset Without Password.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Alexis,

    Thank you for fast reply!

    Unfortunately I got MSP-FET430UIF and error: "CORTEX_M4_0: Error connecting to the target: MSP432 devices are not supported using the MSP-FET430UIF".

    Is there procedure to clear msp432P401R using one of my tools: MSP Gang Programmer, MSP-FET430UIF?

    What is weird, I _HAVE_ password file that have been used during programming MCU and I still can't clear it. This ERROR 72 still comes and I can't find description for it.

    Shouldn't this button "Clear locked device" on Gang GUI perform Factory reset?

    Thanks for any further advices.

    Regards Maciek

  • I have borrowed MSP-FETFlash that supports msp432 and this is result:
