I have grayed all items in Run menu in CCS 5.1.0.09000, I can`t connect with MSP-FET430UIF

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5519

Please help.

I have a project maked for MSP430F5519, and I trying to use MSPFET 430 UIF for programming and debugging.

But, my CCS don`t enable all items in RUN option in menu bar.

Can you explain to me why, I have upgraded the firmware. 

Please, help me,

I wait your answer asap. Regards,

  • Hi Juan,

    which items are not available?   There is some functionality that the msp430 does not support.  Are you in general able to debug?

  • Are not available in "Run":

    Connect ttarget

    Disconnect  target

    Restore Debug state

    ..

    since to clock all are unavailable.

    The following are available in "Run":

    Load : is available but subitems are unavailable.

    What happen? 

    Regards,

  • Hi Juan,

    are you connected to the target?  How do you enter debug?  Can you debug normally?  It sounds like you may not be connected to the target.

  • Hi Lisa;

    It`s a new design with a new chip, with a new board, We just finished first good compilation and now we like to begin debuging.

    I like to connect with target board but the connect to target item is grayed. 

    I used  Lite FET- Pro 430 elprotonic, and this software can connect with the target, but with CCS I can do nothing.

    Any suggestion?

  • Hi Lisa,

    I can`t download firmware to device, not even  connect with MSPFET 430 UIF debug interface. The CCS are grayed all items for debuging

    Please, give me a help about it.

  • Hi Lisa :

    I found when I  try to debug the CCS  halt and  Windows show the message error like desktop capture attached below to this message. 

    Can you let me know what happen?

    Regards,

  • Hi Juan,

    I notice you are using a spanish windows version.  Are you new to CCS?

    Could you please check two things

    - when installing CCS did you use any directories with accented or special characters?  What directory is CCS installed into?
    - do you only have MSP430 support installed?  You could try rerunning the installer into the same directory and adding support for the C2000 and/or Stellaris family.  We have seen some issues on non english computers when only msp430 support is installed.


    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • Hi Lisa:

    Them by severals install and uninstall actions with CCS V5.2, I decided try with  downloaded CCS V5.2 new versiòn and the  MIRACLE HAPPENED.!!!

    When new version installed I tried with previous project but translated to new workspace, at the first moment the CCS require to me update MSPFET430 UIF, then it was updated and then CCS appear with debug windows but didn`t download firmware.

    I tried with blink led  example download firmware thinking had trouble with our new board and downloaded ok.

    Then I tried again with our firmware, and it was the Miracle.

    If you can give me any explanation  I´ll appreciatte. Furthemore at the moment can I go on with my job. 

    About your questions , MSP430 support always was installed, I re run several times CCS5.1 installer , any change  was inittially install in D:/TI, but later was in directory suggested for installer.

    Yes I`m new in CCS, normally I use Keil and other firmware compiler debugger.

    At the moment best regards.

  • Hi Juan,

    it is hard to say what happened.  It sounds like there must have been some corruption or problem with your previous installation.  We have not see the issue you experienced before.

    Thanks for the update and all the best with development.

    Best Regards,
