Programmer Problem: LPT Programmer & Error initializing emulator: Could not initialize device interface

Hello,

I´ve got the Olimex LPT Programmer on my Windows 7 x64.

When I try to debug the program on my MSP430x1232 or MSP430x5438 (with an Olimex LPT Programmer) with CCS 4.0.1.01001

 i get the error message:

Error initializing emulator: Could not initialize device interface.

My LPT configuration: I use a Sunix LPT-PCI extension card with 2xLPT Ports with Vista x64 drivers (seems to work good otherwise)

I suppose it is a bug in CCS 4.0.1.01001, as it was also difficult to get it work with older versions even on Windows XP.

Does anyone have a solution?

Regards,

Tobias

    You mention using a PCI extension card,  what I/O port address is being assigned to the parallel port? We have seen in some cases where when using PCI extension cards for parallel port, the address range is fixed to some non-legacy addresses fixed by the PCI controller/OS during bootup. If this is the case here and the driver for the PCI parallel port card cannot re-map I/O address to legacy addresses, then it may not work with CCS.

    We would recommend using the USB FET if possible.

    The adress is not visible in Windows 7, the ports are LPT2 and LPT3, and the mode is EPP/ECP. A printer was working on this port. So i am sure there is no problem with the port.

    I have only an LPT adapter and  no USB Fet. I suppose it is a bug in Code Composer 4 for Windows 7.
