FATAL ERROR Failed to initialize the device. Session aborted

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F4270, MSP430F2274, MSP430G2231, MSP430FG4619, MSP430F1612

Hello,

I am trying to run sample codes for my MSP430F4270 device. I have been writing and running my code using IAR Kickstart version on simulator mode with no problem. However, when I am trying to debug the code on the device by using the USB debugger interface, I get the following error:

Tue Dec 07 16:25:12 2010: Failed to initialize device.

Tue Dec 07 16:25:15 2010: Failed to load debugee: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 4.0\430\FET_examples\msp430x4xx\C-source\Debug\Exe\101207.d43

This is the same even I try with the sample "Flashing the led example". 

Steps Needed to Recreate Problem: 

-Create a project on IAR Kickstart free edition which comes with the CD
-Connect the UIF and the device
-Select your device on IAR -> Project->Options->General Options
-Select IAR -> Project->Options->Debugger->"simulator"
-Debug the program >> No errors.
-Stop debugging and select "USB Interface" on Project->Options->Debugger
-Debug the program  >> This error is displayed: "FATAL ERROR Failed to initialize the device. Session aborted"

I cannot make any progress without fixing this problem. Any help is appreciated!

    Bump.    

    Same error here (Windows XP, MSP430F2274)

    Fri Feb 11 13:32:42 2011: Fatal error: Failed to re-initialize   Session aborted! 

    Fri Feb 11 13:32:42 2011: Failed to load debugee: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.0 Kickstart\430\FET_examples\FET_examples\msp430x2xx\C-source\Debug\Exe\msp430x2xx (C).d43 

    Thanks.

    Now that I "upgraded" to IAR 5.2 I'm getting this problem too.

    I'm pretty sure it was working fine last summer with version 5.1

    Windows 7  MSP430G2231

    Edit: I found a solution that fixed the problem for me, if anyone else encounters this check out the very last post in this thread: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp43016-bit_ultra-low_power_mcus/f/166/t/58343.aspx

    It suggests checking your FET debug options and changing it to 4-wire JTAG, but instead I just chose the radio button for 'automatic selection' under 'debugging protocol'

     

     

    Having the same error here using IAR embedded workbench for MSP430 v5.20.1 trying to download to a msp430f2274 on the ez430 rf dev kit. I'm using Parallels VM on a MBP with an installation of Windows 7 to run IAR; it was working just fine a few days ago, and I did not update the IDE or change anything before it stopped.

    same problem with me while programming a MSP430FG4619 by MSP-FET430U100. the solution offered by bill pankau didn;t work for me as the default setting is 4-wire jtag only!!

    I get the same error with 5.3 workbench and MSP430 development board from Olimex.  The JTAG option is grayed out.

    I have the Olimex board with RS232 serial cable via a port replicator connected to USB port on the computer,

    Any thoughts?

    I had this same problem... 

    My IAR EW was working fine V4.6b, for a few years.

    Last week I loaded TI's code composer studio V4.2, this broke my IAR EW ! 

    The code composer studio reinstalled the drivers for the FET430UIF, and the IAR EW could not see the FET.

     

    ** THE FIX **

    Uninstall the FET driver with device manager, reinstall by pointing the device manager to:

    My folder was : C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 4.0\430\drivers\TIUSBFET\WinXP

    This fixed my issue.

    I have been having the exact same issue with my MSP430F1612 on my Apple MBP. I am running the same Parallels VM environment and everything. The only difference is that mine has not worked a single time!!! Please help!!!

    I'm getting this on my log: 

    Tue Apr 15, 2014 13:33:04: Using license: Standalone license - IAR Embedded Workbench for Texas Instruments MSP430, 4K KickStart Edition 5.60
