Hello everyone, I am working with msp430 on my mac (loading windows on virtual machine). The new ccs beta version for mac is very useful. I downloaded it and installed working fine, But unfortunately it is not detecting my MSP-FET430UIF, Due to some driver problem.I typed the command  " ls /dev/tty.* "  To ensure the FET is detected or not I found an device "  /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 "

when itried to debug the following error message is appeared;

After installation a dialog box appeared to install the drivers, folder named "install_driver" on ccsv6 folder, But threes no such folder.I have only these folders on it.

Can any one help me uploading the driver.

Exploring the MSP430 tool chain: Part 7 – Code Composer Studio on Mac BETA now available

system used: Macbook air 13 inch, intel i5 processor,4gb RAM

    Tom,

    We believe that there are a couple of issues here.

    First it looks like when you browse directories with Finder it creates a .DS_Store file in each directory examined. CCS seems to be trying to parse these files if they are located in its database of register information (stored in xml files). We need to make a change to CCS so that it does not do that. I have filed a defect to track that: SDSCM00051813

    Additionally we are having an issue on Yosemite where the older Grey MSP FET is not being detected. The newer black one works fine. We are still digging into this one.

    Regards,

    JohnS,
    Thanks for reply.
    Yes am using Yosemite version of macintosh and MSP-FET430UIF. Hope this issue will be fixed by the CCS team.
    Any mac driver for MSP-FET430UIF is available for download?.

    Regards,

    Tom,

    We are able to get the Grey FET working now on Yosemite.  The trick is that the firmware that ships on the older FET prevents it from getting recognized by the OS.  Most of the older Grey FETs will work fine as at some point in time their firmware would have gotten updated by CCS on Windows or Linux or IAR on Windows.  By updating the firmware on my Grey FET using CCS on windows it was then recognized on Yosemite.  It actually did another firmware update when I tried to connect with CCS (as the version of CCS on my Mac is newer) and then I was able to debug fine with it.

    Unfortunately if you have an older Grey FET with the old firmware on it there is no way to do the initial firmware update on Yosemite as it has to be recognized to do the update.

    Regards,

    John
