MSP-FET430U80 Debugger Error in Code Composite Studio V6: "MSP430: Error: MSP-FET430UIF Firmware erased - Bootloader active"

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hello,

I'm in the process of trying to flash a microcontroller in Code Composer Studio 6. When I'm debugging the code, I get the following message:

Error initializing emulator:
A firmware update is required for the MSP430 Debug Interface (MSP-FET430UIF / MSP-FET / eZ-FET). Click the "Update" button to update the firmware and launch your debug session (this may require several update steps).

DO NOT UNPLUG THE INTERFACE DURING THE UPDATE.

 

Afterwards, I go to update it, only for the firmware update to stop, with the next error message appearing:

MSP430: Error: MSP-FET430UIF Firmware erased - Bootloader active

This happens every time I select the debugger in an attempt to flash the program onto the microcontroller. I don't know what the issue is, or how to solve it, so I'm looking for any advice that could help me solve this problem.

    Hi Jayvin,

    Are you running Windows, Linux or Mac?

    You can also use the cloud version of CCS.  I would suggest making a simple program in the cloud CCS and let it try to download to your target and see if get the same problem.
