CCS/MSP430G2553: How to install an older ( v4.3.3 ) version of the MSP Compiler?

LouEEEE!
Expert 1955 points
Part Number: MSP430G2553
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, MSP-FET

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Trying to build the TRF7970RFID DESFire reader/writer demo ( sloa213 ) to run on an EXP-MSP430G2 Launchpad. Bu the project, as imported, demands the MSP 4.3.3 Compiler. Wish to do all this on the CCS OS X toolchain.

Have seen some notes somewhere about how to trick CCS into installing the older compiler - cannot find here... 

The check box : show only latest versions is unchecked.

Alternatively/Additionally: Would like to upload built firmware to this board using UNiflash. All other MSP boards appear - except the MSP430G2. Driver issue?

The board does appear as  /dev/cu.uart-CFFF55ADB2160A29 - does this look OK?

    There are a couple of issues you are hitting here.

    1) I believe the 4.3.3 compiler predates our Mac releases for the MSP430 compiler.
    2) The eZFET interface on the MSP430G2 LaunchPad is not supported on Mac.

    The oldest Mac MSP430 compiler that I can locate is 4.4.x. 4.4.7 and 4.4.8 can be downloaded via CCS or you can get 4.4.8 from here:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../download.htm

    To use the MSP430G2 LaunchPad on Mac you would need to use it with an external MSP-FET. I believe you could also use a newer MSP430 LaunchPad as a programmer for the G2. If you wanted to pursue that option then someone on the MSP forum would be able to help.
