Hi Mike, Ok...So this is getting pretty bad. I tried many things during the weekend. Here are my steps..... - I double checked the wire connection and it looks good. I am connected via the following: gnd to gnd 3V3 to 3V3 SWB RTS to RST/NMI/SBWTSIO ( pin 76) SWB TST to TEST/SBWTCK (pin 71) - I checked continuity and made sure it also was not shorted to anything else. - I then read the document SLAU320X (Programming using the JTAG Interface) Page 24 describes the pin out and some instructions on how to make Spy-wire work, when there are difficulties. I shorted SBQTCK during power up and I attempted to program the device repeatable 5 -7 times. - I replaced the MSP430F5529 , thinking it might be damaged. - I have done each of these steps on the two prototype boards I made up. I cannot program these devices. - I then reconnected the jumpers on the launchpad board to make sure the ez-fet is not damaged. I was able to successfully program the on boards MSP430F5529 . I cannot program a different target. It is very odd. Since this is simple not work at all I tried something else......I took a look at the old MSP-FET430UIF usb debugger interface I had from a previous project, but that is too old for this chip. Again, trying something different I took a look at the CCS software hoping this would help. - I downloaded CCS, opened the Blink project and started the debugger. The emulator required new firmware so I allowed that to be updated. - When I attempted to load the blink program into my prototype board, again the software tells me the target cannot be found. - Last thing I did....I attempted to load the firmware again using Energia . Ofcourse it did not work. But since CCS required a new firmware loaded onto the emulator I thought that could be helpful. But ofcouse Energia just loaded its firmware back onto the emulator....and still could not find my prototype board. I am at a loss. I have not used the ez-Fit emulator or launchpad before. I might need a little more help than the forum. Maybe an application engineer needs to take a look. How should I proceed?
