BOOSTXL-PGA460: Flash programming problem

Prodigy 20 points

Part Number: BOOSTXL-PGA460
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430F5529LP, USB2ANY, , MSP430F5529, UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

I am having problems getting the eval board BOOSTXL-PGA460 running.    We have the MSP-EXP430F5529LP circuit card, BOOSTXL-PGA460 circuit card, and BOOSTXLPGA460 daughtercard.  Running on Windows 11 Enterprise x64-based PC.  The GUI appears and then I am prompted to select the .bat file.  A quick programming message appears and a dialogue box with "Batch Programming Failure" pops up. The .bat file is in the same directory (used default locations) as the ccs_base and user_files directories.  I also get an error when running the one_time_setup.bat.  I have seen a post that says USB2ANY.dll, Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll, and PGA460Q1EVM-1.0.1.0.exe (or which ever version being run) should be in the same folder however I do not see Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll, maybe this is irrelevant.  The board does power up from the USB connection, I see the green and orange LEDs.  Can never accomplish flash programming or get "connected" status on GUI.  Datalog results: Executing default command:> dslite --mode flash -c user_files/configs/MSP430F5529.ccxml -l user_files/settings/generated.ufsettings -e -f -v user_files/images/U2A_PGA46x.out DSLite version 8.0.0.1202Configuring Debugger (may take a few minutes on first launch)...

    Hi Terry,

    Thank you for posting to the Sensors forum!

    What could have happened was that the MSP430 and CCS drivers weren't installed correctly. Section 4.2 The boostxlpga460-firmware.bat batch file fails to install describes how to ensure that these files are successfully installed: PGA460 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and EVM Troubleshooting Guide

    Please let me know if this helps!

    Best,

    Thank you Alicia.  Unfortunately I did not see anything new that resolved the issue.  The error in section 4.2 is exactly what I get and I did attempt the Uniflash option with no success.  I may have not done properly but still get an error running the one time set up.  I followed the documented process on a personal laptop and had the same issue.  I suspect a driver is missing or not referenced.  The last line in the GUI Datalog is Initializing: MSP430error: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found.

    update- the one time setup worked on my personal laptop. The hardware status is "connected".  The issue seems to be something associated with company laptop.

    Hi Terry,

    I'm glad you were able to get it working on your personal laptop!

    For the company laptop, maybe there could be some security measure that are preventing the software from installing correctly? Would it be possible to uninstall everything on the company laptop, then re-install it as an admin to see if that helps?

    Best,
