Hi Dennis,
Since I have been unable to use the MSP430F2013 on both of my MSP-EXPFG4618 experimenter boards, I decided to attempt connect to the MSP430FG4618 JTAG interface and loading some sample code onto them, however, as soon as I load the binary, and attempt to run the code, the LCD display stops working and it appears as if I am hitting a breakpoint.
As mentioned, my laptop is running Ubuntu 19.10 and I am using the msp-elf-gcc version 8.3.0.16 compiler and building the TI sample code for this board.
As with the previous experience, attempting to load code onto the MSP430F2013, it is visibly obvious that the MCU is no longer functioning, since, after power-cycling the board, the factory-default code, which normally causes the LED3 to flash, stops working.
In the case of the MSP430FG4618, the LCD no longer displays anything.
In none of these tests which I have carried out, have I attempted to program the flash memory on either MCU.
I now have two boards which are dead and am unable to proceed any further.
I would be most appreciative of your assistance in resolving these issues please.
I have attached the source, object and binary files which I attempted to load onto the MSP430FG4618, in a slac129_lcd.tar.gz archive, for your reference.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
