MSP430F5529LP and DLP7970A issues

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, TRF7970A

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the msp430f5529lp board and the DLP7970A booster pack.

I have downloaded and installed the NFC player, installed uniflash and followed the instructions documented here


http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/slab069/slab069.pdf


However the heartbeat LED never flashes.

I have seen several posts that have similar issues such as this one http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/667/t/332903.aspx
I have also downloaded and tried programming different .out files such as eh one suggested here http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/667/p/298945/1042210.aspx#1042210

but no matter what I do I cannot get the LED to flash and I get the following in eth nfc player log file

23:47:39:901     CNfcPlayer::nfcStart: Enter
23:47:39:901     CNfcPlayer::nfcStart: Global NFC flags: 0xF2FF39F7, L1 flags: 0x03050030 - will be ignored if local (configuration-specific) flags are set
23:47:39:901     CNfcPlayer::nfcStart: No local TRACES.NFC parameter found - adding global or default parameter
23:47:39:901     CNfcPlayer::nfcStart: No local TRACES.L1 parameter found - adding global or default parameter

23:47:39:901     CNfcInstance::nfcStart: Enter
23:47:39:901     CNfcInstance::nfcStart: NFC library loaded
23:47:39:901     CNfcInstance::nfcStart: NFC API version: 2.3
23:47:39:901     CNfcInstance::nfcStart: NFC stack version: 2.2.0.4
23:47:39:916     CNfcInstance::nfcStart: NFC controller initialized
23:47:41:938     ! CNfcInstance::nfcStart: Creating a RW-NFC-instance failed (code: 4)
23:47:41:938     ! CNfcPlayer::nfcStart: Instance initialization failed (code: 4)

I cannot compile the RW_P2P_CE_1 project hence looking for a good .out file

My customer as the same hardware as I do and he is getting the exact same errors - please help.

Cheers

    Hey Calum,

    Sorry about that.  I ported NFClink to the F5529 a while ago, and threw the project up here:  http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/667/p/356285/1254722.aspx#1254722 

    If you download this version, you can flash the launchpad with either CCS or Uniflash.  I just tried flashing RW_P2P_CE_1.out with Uniflash version 2.2.0.00016 to a F5529 LP, and it's working fine.

    Make sure to flash RW_P2P_CE_1.out found in the .zip file here:  NFC Link on F5529 LP\NFCLink_1.00.00.02\examples\allModes\RW_P2P_CE_1\ccs\Debug

    Also, make sure the IRQ_SEL jumper on the TRF7970A boosterpack is in the '1' position.  

    We are about to (or maybe just did) release an updated NFClink.  I believe it that should have both F5529 LP and F5529 EXP board support.  I'll check into where this is at.  

    Thanks,

    JD

    Thanks JD,

    I still get the same result. I am using uniflash but version 3.1 - I assume that's the lastest - seems to program fine see comsole output -  

    [12:26:48] Begin Writing flash memory operation.

    [12:26:48] Loading program: C:\customers\Precor\NFC\try2\NFC Link on F5529 LP\NFC Link on F5529 LP\NFCLink_1.00.00.02\examples\allModes\RW_P2P_CE_1\ccs\Debug\RW_P2P_CE_1.out

    [12:27:17] MSP430: Loading complete. There were 88404 (code) and 3049 (data) bytes written to FLASH. The expected RAM usage is 0 (uninitialized data + stack) bytes.

    [12:27:17] Operation Writing flash memory returned.

    After programming I've tried unplugging and plugging the the board, resetting and power cycling. The jumper on the DLP board is at position 1.

    Do you have any jumpers set on the launchpad? I left mine in the default configuration. I have jumpers on TST, RST, TXD, RXD, 3V3, 5V, and GND. RTS and CTS are not placed. I have a jumper on JP8 - all other jumpers are not placed.

    I still don't get a hearbeat LED and the NFC player does not connect.

    Cheers

    RW_P2P_CE_2.out is actually the file that works, rather than RW_P2P_CE_1.out. Calum, since we verified this offline, could you mark this thread as answered? Thanks all!
