Crossworks and MSP430JTAGISO

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi,

I can not get MSP430JTAGISO working with my crossworks MSP430 development software.

When I use Version 1.3 of crossworks I get the message

“Can’t connect to target: External power connected”

When I use CW 1.4 I get:

when using the msp430.dll from olimex (458752 bytes)

“Cannot load traget driver dll …MSP430.dll”

when using msp430.dll shipped with crossworks (212992 bytes)

“Can’t connect to target: Could not initialize device interface”

(Sure I installed it properly, copied the dlls in the driver zip file to the

bin dir of crossworks and use that, tried everything I could imagine…)

So any idea how to get it running?

hi

probably you didn’t istalled the USB drivers or didn’t copied the DLLs where they should be

why not asking Rowley for help? they have MSP430-JTAG-ISO and they know what and how to do to make it working with CrossWorks

Best regards

Installation of DLL’s and driver is ok.

Well I try to get support from rowley, but I think it is probaly your problem too. What can be the reason for the message

“Can’t connect to target: External power connected”. Yes it has external power connected and it is working using all other JTAG adapters I have. Should I try another pin for the power at the 2x7 JTAG socket?

I think I use the right pin

Problem solved. I just have to select VCC=0 when external power is supplied. But there was no option for this in Crossworks 1.3. With 1.4 it seems to be working now.

I have no idea why the dll could not be opened before. Now it is ok.

Thx for your replies,

Matthias
