I know it can be done (even though the docs say it's not supported). I've configured it to work several times in the past. But I don't often use an MSP430 MCU and each time I pick it up again, I have a new computer and the old computer is gone so I have to start from scratch reading documents and forums looking for the secret trick to make this work.
So here goes:
I have an EZ430 (MSP430 F2013 USB thumbdrive device).
- I'm on Windows 11.
- Using IAR Workbench 7.0 (7.10.4)
- Running IAR as ADMINISTRATOR
- I've read the User's Guide steps for opening the sample project and setting the device type appropriately.
- I've read the troubleshooting suggestions and I have gone thru the steps to change the ID of the default TI COM port to COM 2.
- I've followed the instructions to set up a project in IAR from scratch
- Successfully stepping through code execution in Simulator mode. But cannot debug using FET Debugger. (Again, I'm using the sample project for this device.)
RESULT:
- Best result so far in FET mode is that IAR compiles and links exe but doesn't appear to download. Nothing happens. No LED flashing, no breakpoints hit, nothing.
- There are 2 errors in the Download/Debug process. They look like this:
Invalid parameter(s) : (Configure) , mode=0xe, value=0
Invalid parameter(s) : (RegisterMessageCallback)
Any help greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
