msp430 ask for updating firmware when sending program



Hi:

I'm using CSS to program an MSP430-f5529. The drivers of the chip are supposed to be installed as far as I cheked them on the administration field of my computer. 

The problem is that when I send a program from CSS to my chip it creates an error. The program starts saying that it has to update the firmware of the chip and after the actualization it gives me an error saying:

"Encountered a problem loading file C:\Users\....\simple led blink.out

Could not open the file"

Can someone help me please.

  • Firstly, from my experience: This message appears at corrupt declarations or incompatible includes etc.

    for example: once I have declared a variable type as uint64_t instead on uint32_t. I have got this message . I have also check the debug folder to see if there is .out file. (You will not find this file in case of this message) this mean it not being generated.

    so my advice would to check if you were using the correct program. (I mean right example code for f5529 series.

    Deleting the project and recreating it might be  a good thing to do, just to make sure that you have included right micro type etc.
