CCSv4.0.2 connection to FETU430IF



Hi Champs,

I get the following error , but If I keep doing 'retry', sooner or later it will connect.  I'm using the MSP-EXP430F5438 rev. 0-03.

MSP430: Error connecting to the target: No MSP430 device was found on USB FET 1

I'm able to download and run the 'UserExperience' image, so once it connects, it seems to work just fine.  Any suggestions?

Also, twice I've had this horrible experience when I created a workspace which 'overlapped' the project path (once was nearly a year ago, with CCE).  I selected 'add project to workspace', and CCS started working (green progress bar was just going to town).  After several minutes, I became concerned that something was wrong.  What I discovered was the creation of 'workspaces' inside of workspaces inside of workspaces... just as deep as it could go with the memory on my hard drive!  The paths were so deep, WinXP wouldn't allow me to delete them or move them to recycle bin because the path was too long.  It took quite some time to delete all that stuff.  I think a mechanism should be added to prevent such a thing.

Cheers,

Clark

  • Clark,

    I personally did not experience the connectivity issue you have with the JTAG emulator, but maybe it is a flaky physical JTAG connection to the board. Did you try to post this to the MSP430 forum as well? Maybe someone else may have additional ideas...

    With regards to the second problem, apparently this is a known issue of Eclipse (CCS is based on Eclipse 3.2). Please check the bug below and see if that's the same case you are experiencing.

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279781

    It says there that it is not yet fixed for Eclipse 3.5 (the latest), therefore I don't know how easily a patch can be applied to CCS.
