GUI Composer with MSP430G2553

Itay Cohen

Hi,

I'm trying to run the ProgramModelUart GuiComposer example with MSP430G2553.

With the original MSP430G2553.ccxml, everything is OK in terms of debug. The problem is that it configured to work with TI MSP430 USB1 connection so it's not working with the GUI Composer.

When I add the UART connection, I get the following error when trying to debug:

MSP430: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0xc000 on Page 0 of Length 0x414: **Error**: Serial Communication failed at port: COM7, baud rate:9600! To use serial monitor, please ensure the following prerequisites are satisfied: 1. Make sure the cable is plugged into both the target and the host on the right COM port. 2. Make sure a compatible target side serial monitor is loaded and running on the target device.
MSP430: File Loader: Verification failed: Target failed to write 0xC000
MSP430: GEL: File: E:\Users\itayc\Documents\Family\Itay\Work\Solo Gelato\Technical\TI\GUI Composer test\MSP_uart_monitor\MSP_uart_monitor\CCS\Debug\MSP_uart_monitor.out: Load failed.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Itay

Itay,

Which version of CCS are you uisng?

Did you make sure the jumpers are set correctly for HW UART?

Hi,

I'm using CCSv6.1.1.00022.

The jumpers on the MSP-EXP430G2 (Rev 1.5) are as stated.

Thanks,

Itay

I just tested the MSP_uart_monitor example with CCS 6.1.1, followed the steps described in the wiki, and it worked well with UART.

Are you sure you are specifying the correct COM port in the .ccxml file? (you need to use the MSP430 Application UART). In my case it is COM19.

I can't find the option ComPort:

I get nothing when I press Add.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Itay

That is really odd that you are not able to add a UART connection. Can you try creating a new target configuration file and see if that allows adding a UART Connection?
