CCS/MSP430G2553: No USB FET was found (Ubuntu 19.10)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPDS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I installed the Code Composer Studio 10 at Linux Ubuntu 19.10 and I have a microcontroller MSP-EXP430G2553 Launchat and I created a workspace with
Variant: MSP430Gxxx Family - MSP430Gxxx Family
Connection TI MSP430 USB1 [Default]

When I click at Identify..., appeared this

Error initializing emulator:
No USB FET was found

I built the project and clicked at bug too, and appeared the same.

  • Hey Vagner,

    I'm not very familiar with interfacing with Linux, but it sounds like you successfully installed CCS.  Can you check your connected ports/devices?  In Windows, you should see an MSP430 programming interface.  Also when USB communication has been established, a green LED will turn on on the launchpad.  Are you seeing this LED?  

    If not, the is issue is somewhere between the Launchpad and the USB driver.  I think in Linux you may need the open-source tool MSPDS to interface CCS to the hardware tools on the launchpad.  

    Give that a shot and let me know if you get it working.  

    Thanks,

    JD
