I successfully bricked the LDC2114EVM by uploading the wrong firmware file, thinking it was a firmware upgrade included with the GUI software. Turns out the LDC2114EVM firmware is NOT included with the GUI, though two other files are. Can someone please supply the correct file so I can get the EVM up and running again?
Thanks for the file. It may be included with version 1.9.3, but its not included in 1.9.4 ( the latest one).
Hi Paul,
If you are able to put the device into BSL mode then you can load the firmware file using USB interface and the MSP430 firmware upgrader example included with the MSP430DEVPACK:
www.ti.com/.../MSP430USBDEVPACK
After installing the firmware upgrader should be located in the following folder:
C:\ti\MSP430USBDevelopersPackage_5_00_01\Host_USB_Software\Python_Firmware_Upgrader\Python_Firmware_UpgraderGUI.exe
If the device is in BSL mode then the screen should display "ready.."
If this is not the case, ensure that the device is in BSL mode and click File --> Rescan HID Bus. Instructions to enter BSL mode are included in the LDC2114EVM user guide on pages 7 & 8.
Once the device is in BSL mode and recognized by the firmware upgrader then click File --> Open User Firmware and navigate to the appropriate firmware file. In this case the EVM_LDC2114.txt included in the previous post.
When successful the screen should read "Programming: OK" and the new firmware should have been installed.
Let me know if this solves your issue.
Thanks!
Luke
