  • Hi Yunjing,

    A few questions to begin:

    • Are you using the MSP430 Launchpad board with the BOOSTXL-TPS650861?
    • Did you already update the firmware of the MSP430 chip on the launchpad (should be mentioned in the BOOSTXL-TPS650861 user's guide but the link to the software may be broken)
    • Does IPG-UI show a green light in the bottom left of the screen with the words "Hardware Connected"? Or does it say "Hardware not Connected" when you are trying to read the device?

    Regards,

    James

  • Hi James,

    Sorry for late response, Pls check feedback on your questions, all of their answer is Yes. Do you know what is the exactly meaning of picture information "USB2ANY Failure-49" in the GUI  screenshot?

    Are you using the MSP430 Launchpad board with the BOOSTXL-TPS650861?

    YJ: Yes. 

    Did you already update the firmware of the MSP430 chip on the launchpad (should be mentioned in the BOOSTXL-TPS650861 user's guide but the link to the software may be broken)

    YJ: Yes, I let customer download firmware upgrade from TI.com MSP430 USB Firmware Upgrade.

    Does IPG-UI show a green light in the bottom left of the screen with the words "Hardware Connected"? Or does it say "Hardware not Connected" when you are trying to read the device?

    YJ: Yes, I have green hardware connected in my GUI showing.

    Best regards

  • Hi Yunjing,

    • The next thing to check would be that the PWR switch is set to the "ON" position
      • If the switch is already ON, toggle the switch OFF and then back ON to power cycle the chip
    • Start with all the CTLx switches in the "UP" position as shown in the below picture
      • This should keep all the power rails turned off so that we can eliminate the possibility of a power fault condition
    • See if you can read the 0x5E registers by clicking "Read Group" on the register map tab (Do not click "Read All" yet because you should be in the default IC state with no access to the programming registers in 0x38 address yet. If you "Read All" you may see an error message.
    • Let me know if you get an error after clicking "Read Group"

    If you still get an error, I would start by probing the VSYS, LDO5, and LDO3P3 test points to make sure you are seeing a valid VSYS voltage, 5V, and 3.3V respectively.

    Also, can you or the customer confirm which firmware version that was installed on the MSP430?

    Regards,

    James
