I have a DRV8801 EVM, my CCS is showing "NO USB-FET was found". The onboard MCU is MSP430F1232.

Attaching the link to the EVM below:

Hello Niraj,

The DRV8801EVM has an onboard JTAG connector. It requires an MSP-FET to debug and program the onboard MSP430F1232 using CCS. The EVM CCS project and source code can be downloaded from the EVM webpage, https://dr-download.ti.com/software-development/support-software/MD-wlvAO0yzVV/01.00.00.0D/slvc370d.zip.

The USB on the EVM is a USB to UART VCP interface that allows the GUI to talk to the EVM.

Regards, Murugavel
