Title: programming msp430F167 microcontroller
Post by: Priyanka Deshmukh on December 05, 2018, 03:42:47 PM
Hello,
I have recently switched to CCS 8.2.0 for programming.
I use Olimex  MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 to burn my hex file to the microcontroller. However, when i switched to new IDE, the program is same without any changes and compiled my program correctly and have a ihex file now.
Can i burn this file using MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 to my microcontroller? Will it give an error? Already tried the program doesnot work. Is this because it is not compatible with CCS new versions? How to proceed?

You can download the hex to the target board using the Olimex programmer software - "Olimex MSP430 programmer".

However, MSP430-JTAG-TINY-V2 is not directly compatible with newest versions of Code Composer Studio (6.1.3 and after). So if you are using CCS 8.2.0 you can't program and debug via it, only produce hex file that should be transferred to your target via other software.

If you wish to program and debug directly from CCS - you'd need to use older version of CCS - before 6.1.3. For example, 6.1.2 is fine.
