Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC1000

Part Number: TDC1000

Application: Installing Firmware

Question type: Development and troubleshooting

Description of the problem: I am using the TDC100 EVM. The board was working fine before although it was prompting me to update to a newer version. As soon as I updated the firmware the board stopped working. The light next to SW1 no longer turns on and I keep getting told the USB has malfunctioned.

I have followed these instructions and tried to update the relevant hex file. However the firmware always fails to update and gives the following message: "Failed to read data from RAM BSL". How should I proceed

I understand there's an updated version (v1.3.1.1) of the MSP430 Firmware Upgrader software. Please see link below

Could you please try with this version to upgrade the firmware?

Thanks,
