TUSS44x0 EVM for Ultrasonic Sensors User's Guide
The MSP-EXP430F5529LP must be flash programmed only once, typically when first connecting to the
MSP-EXP430F5529LP and running the GUI. The GUI does not prompt the user to reprogram the MSP-
EXP430F5529LP until the flash memory is erased, programmed with different firmware, becomes corrupt,
or does not allow the MSP-EXP430F5529LP to enumerate the USB2ANY host interface.
If the firmware batch file fails to install, ensure it is being run from the same directory containing the
supporting folders, ccs_base and user_files. To ensure the Code Composer Studio™ software drivers are
installed for the MSP430™ library, run the
one_time_setup.bat
file located in the
My Documents
under
TUSS44x0 EVM (although these drivers should have been previously installed by the TUSS44x0 EVM
GUI install wizard).
The
tuss44x0-firmware.bat
in
My Documents
is only compatible with a 64-bit operating system. For a 32-
bit version of the
tuss44x0-firmware.bat
file, navigate to the install path of the TUSS44x0 EVM GUI, and
unzip
tuss44x0_fw_installer_32bit.zip
. Run the
one_time_setup.bat
file in this unzipped directory.
