MSP-EXP430FR5739: MSP-EXP430FR5739 error uploading sketch

MSP-EXP430G2: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect error

I ran the blink example on my board a couple days ago with no problem but today no code (not even blink) will upload to the microcontroller giving me this error message

I've already tired updating the drivers and that didn't solve the problem.

    Hello Almas,

    something got corrupted on your PC's SW-setup.

    From the current information it could in the easiest case be the project.

    I would try to start a new "blink example" or any other example to make sure it is just your blink project that is affected.

    If problem persists; you might need to re-install CCS (if it was that IDE you intended to use).

    Please tell me if you intended to use Energia, and please tell me which version it.

    have a nice day and good luck

         Johann

    Hi Johann,

    I'm using energia-1.8.10E23 and I have tried to run other examples and I get the same error message.

    Hi,

    I installed Energia on an older Win7-I7 notebook. Am using the MSP-EXP430FR5994 as target.

    No issues invoking from the unzipped folder. Moved folder around; No issues with "blink" nor "fade".

    I then ran the same tests on an WIN10-I5 notebook  => no issues.

    I will observe if after the next win updates something will change; I rather doubt it.

    My recommendation: Just extract Energia again and see if the problem is gone then.

    have a nice day

    Hello again,

    same error message came up on mine !!! (please understand I'm a bloody newcomer to Energia)

    Here is the solution...:  Energia seems to block some actions as soon it detects that new updates are available.

    Just restart PC and/or Energia; a small message box will appear notifying that new updated are available.

    Update; after update all runs fine again. I have now tried on the 'FR5994 board and the 'FR5739 board. Both are working.

    I got a similar experience you had:  without update the board that was working before ('FR5994) seemed to not work anymore !!!

    It showed a similar error message starting with the 'atof' line (I agree this line is misleading...).

    Since I did the same updates on two separate notebooks I had the chance to take a snapshot on the 2nd notebook update.

    You should see a screen  as below ...  (then you are on the right way)

    have fun with your Energia coding, and sorry for the inconvenience...

        Johann

    Hi Johann,

    Thank you! This resolved my issue.  I restarted Energia, no luck, and then my PC, no luck as well.  I also didn't see the prompt you got so I went to the board manager manually and updated there and it worked.
