Hi,

The threads below mention a very similar scenario. Despite they are not using the FlashMSP432.dll but instead the FlashCC3200.dll, the root cause of the problem may be the same:

e2e.ti.com/.../687632
e2e.ti.com/.../619455

Hope this helps,
Rafael

Thanks for your response. I am using Windows 10 and my "C:\ti\ccsv8\ccs_base\DebugServer\bin\" folder does not have "FlashMSP432.dll".
How do I install the missing FlashMSP432.dll?

Hi,

In this case, there is a chance the MSP432 device family was not selected during install of CCS. If you suspect this is the case, please follow the instructions shown below to install a new feature.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have CCSv8 an dSimpleLinkMSP432E4 SDK - v.2.10.00.17 installed but "FlashMSP432.dll" and "MSP432E401Y_FlashProperties" were not. I suspect that anti-virus software may interfere with the installation.

It works now after I copies these two files from another working computer.

"ccsv8/ccs_base/DebugServer/bin/FlashMSP432.dll", and

"ccsv8/ccs_base/DebugServer/propertyDB/MSP432E401Y_FlashProperites.
