CCS/MSP430F5132: Problems faced in getting started with TIDA-00120 Solar MPPT Charge Controller eval. board

Part Number: MSP430F5132
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SM72295, , MSP-FET, TIDA-00120, MSP430F4132

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I use CCS V. 9.1.0.0010

I made an experiment board copying the above eval. board with MSP430F5132 and SM72295....when I try to load the code to MCU i get a message "error connecting to the target : unknown device.."...I use an MSP-FET  ver. 2.0.6 .....connections MSP-FET to target :  ...pin 2 to vdd....pin 8 to  TEST.....pin 9 to GND....pin 11 to RST.......a cap 1nF,  RST to GND.....a resistor 47k VDD to RST....I suppose Spy-Bi-wire (SPW) ...why the target MSP430F5132 not recognized ? how to programming that MCU....MSP debug interface (COM9), is ok...

    Hello Basil,

    Figure 2-3 of the hardware tools User guide shows the required connections for SBW on the MSP430F5xx devices.  Please compare this it to your schematic. 

    Typically, "target: Unknown device" is an issue between the JTAG tool and the MSP430.  Either a connection isn't correct or power isn't being connected correctly. 

    Are you powering the MSP430 from the tool or from the board? 

    Thanks,

    JD

    JD,

    thanks for your answer....I'm powering the board from pin2 (VCC-TOOL) of MSP-FET connector....connections ok....the issue was resolved when I made 2 connections...pin1(TDO.TDI) of MSP-FET to RST , and pin7(TCK) of MSP-FET to TEST...now i have another issue with debug....many errors....i'll check it....another question...I would like to communicate with GUI to change some parameters . i use the TIDA-00120 GUI....how can I transfer the code in memory of target with CCS , and how can i verify that ? is there a diagnostic code (a flashing led), that can help me to test the code in the target ? the pins buz , led1, led2, led3 of conn.J5 at original eval. board PMP-7605 , in what state of warning or indicator are referred ?  thanks.

    Hey Basil,

    Glad you are able to program the MSP430 target.  

    As for example code for the MSP430F4132, you can find many basic examples in TI Resource explorer, here: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ABx.2BOblMxfEInVJ5EsDQ__IOGqZri__LATEST

    Thanks
