RF430FRL152HEVM: Unknown device error when programming the RF430FRL152HEVM via Code Composer with MSP-FET

Part Number: RF430FRL152HEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, RF430FRL152H, MSP-FLASHER

Hi e2e team,

I'm currently trying to program the RF430FRL152HEVM demokit. Since the TRF7970AEVM module is discontinued, I'm using Code Composer with the MSP-FET to program the RF430FRL152HEVM board.

The issue is the Code Composer can't seems to connect to the RF430FRL152HEVM board properly. When I use the 'Detect my board' function of the Resource explorer in Code Composer, an error occur when it try to identify my board.

     

When I check my devices in my Devices Manager everything seems normal.

I then tried to upload some premade project for the RF430FRL152HEVM with the debug feature. Like the default project in 'RF430FRL152H Firmware (Rev.F)'. A unknown device error pop-up when trying to upload a project.

     

This error also pop-up when I when trying to upload the simplest project possible, a freshly created project for the RF430FRL152HEVM.

    

For additional information, I have the following downloaded and installed:

MSPDS-USB-DRIVERS
MSP-FLASHER

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Alexandre Pellerin.

    Hello e2e team,

    I tried Uninstall/Reinstall-ing Code Composer Studio and all other file associated with it, but had the same result. Moreover, I also tried installing CCS on a 2nd PC, but again had the same result.

    Regards,

    Alexandre Pellerin.

    Hello Alexandre,

    please make sure that switch S6 on the EVM is set to "Supply" mode. See the hardware overview section (chapter 2.3) of the RF430FRL152HEVM user’s guide for more information (https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau607).

    Your CCS settings are looking correct. In addition you can check if the option "Manage the project's target-configuration automatically" is enabled in your project properties general settings.

    Please let me know if you still can not connect.

    Best regards,

    Andreas.

    Hello Andreas,

    I already had the S6 switch to supply and the target-configuration enable, but when I looked for the target-configuration I saw that I had some parameters that were different from yours. Here is my project properties window:

    When I search in my linker command file I have only those 2 option for the rf430frl152h: 

    Also, I know that I managed to upload a code on the board a long time ago but can't remember what my debug option was. Do you think that the current code can cause this error ? (I wouldn't think so, but just want to be sure)

    Thank you for your time,

    Alexandre Pellerin

    Hello Alexandre,

    the "lnk_rf430frl152h_Driver.cmd" file is coming with the "RF430FRL152H SensorHub Project" example code.

    I don't think that the cmd file is the reason for your issues.

    Have you checked that the jumper SV7 between VDDB and VDDSW is present on the EVM?

    Best regards,

    Andreas.

    Hello Dries,

    Good catch ! It was in fact the SV7 jumper that was missing. I don't even recall removing it from the board, but now the code upload correctly on the board. 

    Thank you very much!
