Error initializing emulator: could not initialize device interface

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438, CODECOMPOSER

Hi everybody,

I'am working on MSP430F5438 under windows XP, with CODECOMPOSER V4.1.1.

I am connected to the board with a Jtag Parallel port from TI, MSP-FETP430IF 1.4.

Every time i Run the Debugger, this message is shown to me and CodeComposer crashes.

Error initializing emulator:
Could not initialize device interface

I think i correctly configured the debugger, and i don't find why this happen.

thanks for your help.

    I am actually having the same symptoms on 4.1.1, but with the cc430 ez430 programmer.  I try to debug and it says "Error initializing emulator:
    Could not initialize device interface" .  After this CCS crashes if i press cancel to escape.   I've verified the hardware works on another computer with the same version of CCS.  My FET430UIF is functioning with my project loading to a different target board, but it is not connected at the same time as the ez430.

    Hi,

    For me now it works like a charm, all that i had to do is to change the msp430fxxxx DLL file with the same but from IAR, and everything work correctly.

    Try to verify your debug configuration, and don't forget to put the right PORT of the debugger.

    Hope this could help you :)
