Part Number:MSP430F5438A
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
Here is the setup:
Host Computer OS: Windows 10
Code Composer Studio: v6.2
Debugger Connector: MSP-FETU430IF
Hardware Platform: MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimenter Board rev 0-03 with MSP430F5438 chip properly installed
Demo Source Code: Downloaded from ti website as slac227l
I had the USB driver installed for the FET debugger interface and when it was plugged in, the device manager displayed it under "Ports (COM & LPT)". Then I went to import project of the demo code, built and loaded onto the MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimenter Board all without errors. CCS debug window showed the demo program stopped at first line of main(). I pressed "F8" to run the program. There was nothing shown on the LCD but all bright screen. It was supposed to show "TI BUG" and a menu after pressing s2 button. I did not see anything. Can anyone help me out? I really appreciate it.
BTW, the MSP-FETU430IF, its driver, JTAG and the Experimenter board work because I could build the simple "blink led" code, load and run.
