MSP-EXP430G2ET: Connecting MSP-EXP430G2ET with RF430FRL152HEVM GUI

Part Number: MSP-EXP430G2ET
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP-7970ABP, UNIFLASH, , RF430FRL152HEVM

Hi! Thanks in advance because I really need your help on this.

I've bought MSP-EXP430G2ET, DLP-7970ABP and RF430FRL152HEVM. I've used UniFlash to insert the TRF7970out file to the SP-EXP430G2ET.

Then I power cycle the MSP-EXP430G2ET by pulling usb out and insert it again. Then I place the these three modules just as GUI shows.

But I still cannot connect the MSP-EXP430G2ET to GUI.

I've tried: 1. Change the MSP-EXP430G2ET COM number to 1 and 2

2. Set the S3-S6 on RF430FRL152HEVM as shown.

Can someone help me on this? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Do you set the UART to hardware mode in MSP430G2ET Lanuchpad?

Best Regards

Dear Johnson,

Thank you for your reply.

Here is my jumper configuration, is that correct? I still cannot connect to the GUI...

Hi Johnson,

In case I misunderstood, I also tried this jumper configuration:

Then I repeat the process again (from Uniflash insertion, to usb plug out, usb plug in, GUI connecting).

But the GUI still shows no response...

Hi Johnson, sorry to bother you again.

I'm wondering whether my uniflash setting is correct. Because previously I didn't chose "binary" as shown in following picture:

But if I choose "binary", the load just failed... So do I need to choose the "binary" in Uniflash?

Hi,

Don't need choose "binary" when you download code.

I'm sorry to provide some error message about G2553 lanuchpad UART hardware mode, I double check found this set should as follow:

Did you flash the correct binary from this download: www.ti.com/.../sloc346

And you can try to change COM to test again, and tried running the GUI as an Admin.

Attach some link maybe useful for you:

Dear Johnson,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I followed each step you said and it works now (don't know which step is efficient lol).

BTW, UART of my MSP430G2ET launchpad is just like this:

Again, thank you very much for your help and have a nice day! :-)
