MSP430F2132: MSP-GANG Errors 23 and 385

Part Number: MSP430F2132

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

I have programmed MSP430F2132target board with MSP430-GANG. It was fine.

Recently I am trying to use MSP-GANG instead MSP430-GANG. However, the following error appeared.

ERROR 23: MCU device initialization failed.
ERROR 385: Nothing to program / verify - empty code in selected memory space.

Hello Meenashi,

Thanks for your post. I've updated the title, but in the future, please use a more detailed title. Doing this will help other community members (who may face your same issue in the future) find this thread and hopefully the solution. To find the MSP forum, go to e2e.ti.com > Forums > Microcontrollers > MSP Low-power Microcontrollers. Once there, you can click "Ask a new question" in the upper right to make a new post.

I would also recommend searching the forum for similar questions. For example, I found several threads related to these errors, and I think their recommendations will resolve your issue.

MSP-GANG: MSP-GANG:ERROR 23: MCU device initialization failed. ERROR 385: - empty code in selected memory space.

RE: Error 23: MCU device init

For example, make sure the MSP430F2132 JTAG circuit matches what's recommended in the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide.

Regards,

James
