Part Number:MSP430G2553
Hello everyone! I'm currently using MSP430G2553 on a project of mine, but for some reason, I can't communicate with my microcontroller using my PC. I'm using IAR IDE, and when I'm going to debug using FET Debugger, it freezes at "busy: Starting debug session" and after half a minute ( it is much faster when using a non-existent COM port, so I assume it is actually identifying the MSP but for some reason can't connect to it ), an error: "Fatal error: Failed to re-initialize. Session aborted!". And a further error:
"Could not find MSP-FET430UIF on specified COM port : (Initialize) , port=HID0015:COM2, version=0xffffffff"
At first I thought it was a IAR related problem. The thing is, I installed it on my notebook, same version, and I was able to sucessfully use FET debugger using IAR. Which means, not IAR problem and not uC problem. Then, I developed a VB.Net software to send and receive data from the MSP using UART. The software worked flawlessly on my notebook. When I ran it on my PC, however, it simply froze when I sent a byte through UART. It froze until I disconnected my MSP's USB from the PC, then it instantly popped up an error message. I tried to use multiple drivers, I assume it's correctly installed ( on device manager, everything seems fine ). Tried reinstalling, messing with my motherboard settings of COM ports, no sucess. I can't even find similar cases on google.
Anyway, if anyone has any idea of what it could be the issue, I would be glad! My notebook is shared with other people in the house, and I rather program on my much faster desktop. Thanks for reading :)
