CCS/TIDA-00120: Having issues connecting PMP 7605 with GUI

Part Number: TIDA-00120
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5132

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have used the TIDA-00120 design as reference.  I used Code Composer to compile the code given in the software files.  When building the code, I get an error saying 'Program "make" is not found'.  I tried this solution (https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/p/373261/1313023#1313023) but the "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/include" already existed.  However, it seems like the code builds and finishes as if normal.  Ignoring this error, when I try to connect to the GUI, it initially connects, the program freezes, then disconnects after a few seconds saying "Connection Lost (IO)!".  I have tried many people's suggestions for fixing it including commenting out the "//" in "//#define GUI", switching pins around, etc.

Below is a picture of how I have it set-up when connected for GUI, please let me know if it is even set up correctly. I am using a MSP-EXP430G2 board and a MSP430F5132.  The Vcc pin from the MSP-EXP430G2  is connected to the VCC pin on the J5 connector of the charge controller board, Tx is connected to Led3 of the J5 connector, Rx is connected to Led2 of the J5 connector, and the two ground are shorted together on the J5 connector.

I have tried many things including different computers and even different version of CCS.  Please answer back if you have any idea of the issue.

    Hi,

    I can't precisely tell why the project is not properly building, since I was able to import it to my CCSv7.1 and built just with some warning about low power usage. One thing that can help is if you copy the console build output and attach as a .txt file to this thread (you will have to click on the link "Use rich formatting" at the e2e view to attach files)

    Also, it is not entirely clear from your description that you actually flashed the executable to your target board. After building the project, did you flash it to by creating a target configuration file and launching the debugger? (you can click on the green bug button that says Debug PMP7605_with_GUI)

    Are you using the G2 launchpad as the main controller? If so, I assume you modified the original code to use the G2 Launchpad instead of the F5132/F5152, right? If you need help with this particular step, I would ask you to refer to the MSP forum as the experts there will be able to help you with this.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael
