CCS/MSP432P4111: Not able to flash SDK examples code to blank MSP432 MCU

Part Number: MSP432P4111
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2652RB

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello All,

Trying to flash custom MSP432P411 MCU (which is blank) using the XDS110 debugger available on one of the MSP432 launchpad.

We are trying to flash the  uartecho example available in 3.40 SDK for MSP432P4111. But the flashing is not successful and the MCU continuously resets with below messages.

Take the device out of reset, and retry the operation. (Emulation package 9.1.0.00001)

CORTEX_M4_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete

CORTEX_M4_0: GEL Output: Halting Watchdog Timer

Please help to resolve this issue. Any settings in IDE to be made to flash on blank MCU. We are not able to flash even once.

CCS version: 10 & 9.4 (tried on both)

SDK version: 3.40

MCU: MSP432P411VPZ

  • Hi Tajpeer

    What's the MSP432 launchpad do you use? Could you have try download the uartecho example into the launchpad first?

    I have try the demo of msp432p411x_euscia0_uart_01.c with the launchpad MSP-EXP432P4111 with no error

  • Hello Gary,

    Below are the comments for your suggestions,

    1. What's the MSP432 launchpad do you use?:

    - We are using the J102 connector (as highlighted in blue) after removing the jumpers on J101 connector on MSP432P4111 launchpad as below image as XDS110 debugger to flash the custom MSP432P411V board.

    2. Could you have try download the uartecho example into the launchpad first?

    - Yes. We have used the XDS110 debugger on one MSP432P4111 launchpad to flash the MSP432 cpntroller on the other MSP432P4111 launchpad. We are able to flash the launchpad without any issues.

    In addition,

    1. Using the XDS110 debugger on launchpad, we were able to flash CC2652rb controller on the custom board.

    2. The current board where flashing issue is observed is custom board using MSP432P411VPZ controller. For this issue, we have tried factory reset of custom MSP432P411VPZ controller. But now, we have seen below error after factory reset.

    CORTEX_M4_0: * WARNING *: The connected device is not MSP432P4111
    CORTEX_M4_0: GEL Output: Memory Map Initialization Complete
    CORTEX_M4_0: GEL Output: Halting Watchdog Timer

    Please let us know if any settings required for new custom MSP432P411V controller which is blank MCU?

  • Hi Tajpeer

    How many MSP432P411 on your customer board be tested? All failed?

    I saw you have add a TPDxF003 on JTAG pins for ESD protection. Why do you pull up the TMS and TCK pin with 10k resistor? 

    Could you have a try to remove the pull up(R60 and R63) and pull down resistors(R64) on JTAG pins?

  • Hi Gary

    We have tested two custom boards having MSP432P411VIPZ. The issue persists in both the boards.

    As per your suggestion we have removed the resistors R60, R63 and R64 and flashed. But still the problem persists.

  • Hi Tajpeer

    What if bypass the TPDxF003?

    By the way, please follow the reset circuit as below
