Hello,

My msp-exp430FR5994 is not detected in CCS. CCS is installed on Kubuntu 20.04. Error returned is:

{"msg":"ttyACM0: Could not power up the device.","name":"ttyACM0","type":"require-update"}

I folowed the instruction shere:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Tested on 20.04 March 30^thalpha release
- Please note that CCS is not officially tested on alpha versions.
update system: sudo apt update
install dependent libraries: sudo apt install libc6:i386 libusb-0.1-4 libgconf-2-4 libncurses5 libpython2.7 libtinfo5
install CCS
if CCS was installed as user then run the driver install script
- go to <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>/ccs/install_scripts
- sudo ./install_drivers.sh

and did not forget to run the command: ./install_drivers.sh

Can you help?

Marc.

Marc,

Interesting; although I don't have the same board as you, my MSP-EXP430FR4133 works well on my Ubuntu 18.04.4. I tested this earlier this year with Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked fine as well.

Where is this error coming from? Is it coming from dmesg | tail?

That is what I see here:

user@host:~$ dmesg | tail

At any rate, can you try to run CCS as a superuser and see if it works? That would evidence something wrong on the udev rules installed by the install_drivers.sh script. This is what I see in my setup.

user@host:~$ ls -la /etc/udev/rules.d/

I am upgrading my system to Ubuntu 20.04 and will report back in case I find anything different.
