CCS/TIDA-010042: Unable to connect to target

Part Number: TIDA-010042
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5132

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

My question refers to flashing the program to TIDA-010042 board.

I have made hardware as TIDA -010042 design as it is.

I have used the code composer studio with MSP-FET430UIF debug tool to flash the program and the board is directly powered by the FET430UIF with 3.5V

The code is successfully build. When I try to debug the target board (with MSP430F5132), the CSS throws an error: "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO TARGET".

So I tried using external power to the device and connected the VCC pin of the TARGET to the VCC_OUT pin(pin 4) of my FET(14 pin connector). But I still face the same issue.

I have connected only 4 pins for the 14 pin connector to the target device

Net FET
TEST/VPP 8
RST 11
TCK
TMS
TDI/VPP
DVCC 2
GND 9

Can anyone please help me with this problem, I don't get it!

Thank you!

Yashoda
