CCS/MSP430G2553: MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port error

Part Number: MSP430G2553

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am using Launch Pad to debug MSP430G2553 which is standalone. The TEST, RESET and GROUND pins of Launch Pad are connected to the g2553 chip. When i try to debug the chip with  Code Composer Studio (Version: 6.1.1.00022), the error windows in the below appear. 

The configuration of the project is:

I can see the MSP430 in the device manager:

Also the device id of the MSP430 is:

Can you please help me to solve this?

Best regards.

  • Hello Recep,

    Have you ever used this LaunchPad with this PC, and does the LaunchPad work with a G2553 device connected in the socket? VCC should be connected as well, otherwise the MSP430 will not be powered and therefore cannot communicate. You should also make sure that the proper 47 kOhm pull-up resistor and 1 nF pull-down capacitor are populated on the RST line.

  • Hello Ryan,

    Actually, whole system was working properly. I could debug and watch the registers. Then, i tryed to communicate with arduino over SPI. But suddenly i couldn't debug the msp anymore. Also the system still can be debuggable with another pc.

    Thank you for your answer.

  • Hi Recep,

    It appears that you've isolated the issue to the host rather than the MSP430 target. Have you tried resetting your computer or re-installing the drivers? I hope that the arduino is not communicating at 5V since this is not an acceptable input for the MSP430 device (max 3.6 V).

    Regards,

  • Hello Ryan,

    I re-install ccs and drivers several times. But, still i got the same errors. I try to debug the same code with a Launch Pad and i could debug without an error.

    I guess the reason of the errors is the fisrt Launch Pad's Emulator part. But the msp appears in the Device Manager.

    Thank you for your attention.

  • There was a problem with my Launc Pad. I can debug with another Launch Pad and there is no error.

    Thank you for you answers  Ryan.
