Hello everyone, Apologies for a very long email but I am pulling my hair...
I have a MSP430F5528 based board that I want to program but have been having trouble setting up FET430UIF on Mac OS X (10.7). I followed the instructions here http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/tilib.html to upgrade the firmware to V3 and was able to complete the first two steps for the upgrade using the latest mspdebug. However, I did not have the libmsp430.so on my Mac, so could not execute the third step. I then plugged it in a Windows machine with mspdebug 0.19 and copied the MSP430.dll after installing MSP430 flasher tool from TI on this machine but I keep getting device initialization failed. I have also tried with Linux (compiled latest libmsp430.so) and Mac OS X (both 10.7 and 10.9) with libmsp430.so included with Energia. Here are the error messages with on various operating systems, ** Windows 7 ** mspdebug.exe tilib -d COM10 MSPDebug version 0.19 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs Copyright (C) 2009-2012 Daniel Beer <dlb...@gmail.com> This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
