Hello Everyone,

I am getting the communication error while trying to program MSP430F2132 with MSP-FET430UIF. I am using IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 4.20.1 and testing the FET example msp430x2xx\_fet\_1.s43. I received a communication error saying “Please connect the device and press retry to reconnect or cancel.” When I click on retry I got the following errors:

Interface dll version 2.3.5.0

Fatal error: Failed to identify device (Occasionally, the error “Failed to re-initialize” also appears)

Session aborted!

Failed to load debugee: …

I have checked the hardware connection and the driver (which appears as MSP-FET430UIF - Serial Port (COM5) in my PC running the Windows XP operating system). I have also tried to re-install IAR on different computers (both PC and several Laptops). Unfortunately, I continued getting the same error every time.

Could someone give me some suggestions? Thanks a lot!
