CCS/MSP-EXP430FR5994: My msp-exp430FR5994 not detected.

Part Number: MSP-EXP430FR5994
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430FR4133

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

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 30thalpha 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

    [   48.054173] rfkill: input handler disabled

    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. 

    Regards,
