CCS/MSP432P401R: RGB-GUI does not connect to Launchpad

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

CCS Version:

9.0.1.00004 

MAC Mojave Version:

10.14.3

Launchpad:

MSP-EXP432P401R REV. 2.1 RED BOARD

Green power light on, Demo RGB flasher program running, responds to buttons.

Got RGB GUI panel up on monitor, pressed ‘Connect’ nothing happens. 'Connect' changes to 'Disconnect' but nothing else appears on panel. Lights on Launchpad do not show any activity on USB line during connection attempt (my MSP430 launchpad flashes several lights during program download, not sure if the 432 board does the same).

Have previously connected and downloaded program to MSP430G2 launchpad successfully so basic connection from MAC to Launchpads is working.

Followed HELP instructions from RGB GUI panel but could not clearly get ‘cloud agent’ to load or work.

Most recent Apple 'XTools' loaded into MAC an hour ago. Restarted CCS after that.

Net browser is Safari but I have Firefox and cannot get it to be happy with access to suggestions from HELP panel on RGB GUI.

Further suggestions?

  • Hello,
    It is a known issue (CCDSK-2251) that has been around for awhile. Basically the GUI will not connect when used inside the CCS IDE. Resolution for the issue is blocked on another issue. There is still no concrete date when this will get addressed. Sorry
