MSP-EXP432P401R: Cant update firmware, error 591

Part Number: MSP-EXP432P401R

Hello, i have recently gotten two MSP-EXP432P401R development boards and neither of them are able to be flashed too. Code composer comes up with:

This error is generated by TI's USCIF driver or utilities.

The value is '-591' (0xfffffdb1).
The title is 'SC_ERR_AUTO110_DFU_OPEN'.

The explanation is:
The firmware updater encountered an error and could not finish. The
updater failed to connect to the XDS110 in programming mode. Unplug
and re-plug the XDS110, and try again. If the problem remains, try
updating the firmware using the xdsdfu utility found in the
.../ccs_base/common/uscif/xds110 directory of the installation.
View the XDS110SupportReadMe.pdf file there for instructions.

so i went and used the xdsdfu software and it seems to be an issue with it going into DFU mode, whenever i do this the device appears to turn into a "Tiva Device Firmware Update" with the serial number of 00000000 and is not detected by the xdsdfu software.

I have tried both devices with every USB connector i could find and on all usb ports on my machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My system is:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Code Composer: 10.0.0.00010

  • It seemed to work if i ran the command with sudo, it must have not been allowed to see the device for some reason

    EDIT: it seems that has allowed it to talk but doesnt help me with using the software as it will need to run in root for that

    This can be fixed by adding the device to a rule.d file, this allowed it to be read and seen by the software after the firmware is updated. Dont know why this wasnt created like the msp430 boards though, i must have installed it incorrectly somehow
