    Hi Stanley,

    What's your board power supplier? I see your power supply configuration is "Supplied by Programmer", so you need connect VCC of device to pin2 of MSP-GANG.

    Hi Stanley,

    If you use external power supply, then you need connect the VCC of the board to pin4 of MSP-GANG. And set "Target's Power Supply" as below picture. The Voltage should be your actual VCC voltage value.

    Hi Stanley,

    Password file is needed. The password for the BSL is the bytes between addresses 0xFFF0 and 0xFFFF of code resided in device.

    Password file is TI-TXT type file as below:

    Hi Stanley,

    Do you have MSP-FET430UIF? You can use it and BSL_Scripter.exe to test if device is normal. Please download BSL_Scripter.exe at below link.

    Besides, please make sure the wire connection is stable and the length is below 20cm.

    Hi,

    The password file is correct. And this type of error is mostly because the incorrect or unstable wire connection.
    I check your pin connection is matched. So please check if the wire connection is stable. Please capture the signal of TEST, RST, TXD and RXD using Oscilloscope or Logic Analyzer.

    Merry Christmas (*^_^*)!

    Hi Winter

    i asked TI local distributor "Arrow Electronics" to help us resolve this problem and this problem is solved!

    the key is in password byte quantity , in past i use 16 bytes password(0xFFF0~FFFF) but it should be 32 bytes(0xFFE0~FFFF),

    anyway thanks for TI and Arrowr's help
