I downloaded swrc094e and have run the setup program and then restarted my System 7 computer. When I plug is my MSP-430UIF I get a green light but a check of the Device Manager shows that it has no driver installed! I tried various combinations of installing IAR, the hight level drivers but all with no joy. Help!

I resolved the problem by downloading and installing the IAR version located in slac050. I was using a version from the IAR website and it appears that it was not packaged with the correct drivers... I think it was version 4.2 but am not sure.

Hello, I am having the same problem as you Dmshwartz, but I didn`t understood what you said about using another version of IAR. What occurs is that when I set the folder of the IAR that contains the driver for windows XP 32bits my Windows 7 64Bits does not recognize that as a driver, and don`t install the device. I would like to know if is there some driver for windows 7 64 bits avaiable for download, without needing to change the entire version of my IAR ide... Since now, thank you very much!

This was without a doubt the most unstable software I've ever come across. DVD that came with the 4358 board or FET-UIF definitely outdated and did not install low-level USB drivers, after 2 weeks of BSOD's finally works.

1) Throw away CD-ROM from TI

2) Download and install the latest swrc094 from TI, without it I got wdf010001.sys BSODs(there is a co-install dll), driver may be the one that fakes out USB to FET as a COM port

3) Get the latest slac050 IAR & install seemed to install the next level of USB drivers needed, CD version not so much

4) Get latest CCS download from TI & install

5) FET would not power 4358 board unless JTAG connector already connected before connecting USB from PC to FET

6) If everything went correctly when USB okugged in to FET it will want to update FET internal driver let it look for one.

7) 16KB User Experience for CCS will not compile still need to troubleshoot(looks like a header file prob), but at least both CCS and IAR recignize the debug is connected. IAR User Experince is too big exceeds the 4K limit for the free one.

Additionally, I had to uninstall National Instruments LabView and Studio to get rid of the rest of the BSODs, also an issue with Daemon Tools so uninstalled that. Seems stable for the last few hours.

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64bit and the directions on this page are crap. The easiest thing to do is go to IAR website and download the most recent kickstart version. Install it and use the drivers in INSTALL_ROOT/430/drivers/TIUSBFET. They have them for all current windows OS versions. There is an installer in there, or you can copy the files to your licensed IAR directory. Voilia. You can uninstall kickstart when done.

IS there a problem with the format of the Low-Level USB VCP Drivers .ZIP files ? I have only downloaded the Win7 versions but neither Windows explorer nor WinRAR can extract the contents. WinRAR v4 reports "unknown method". Is it possible to make these available in a usable format ?

This is my first time using the micro, and IAR. I am using I/O on Port 2 pins, and while the interrupts are disabled, I try to clear P2IFG. But as soon as I try to set it to 0, it comes up as 1. Is the Interface using this port pin? How do I get around this?

Hi, i am using revision 3.2.4.005 of the dll with iar studio 5.40.3.

In the revision.txt of the dll it says: New Features: - Enhanced EEM support - Enhanced state storage implementation to be fully functional - Implemented cycle counter for counting cycles during a single run

however, i cannot enable the State Storage Control under the Emulator Tab (It stays grey).

Is there something else, i need to know, to enable the State Storage Module?

Regards, Manuel
