I have been struggling to get TI's (free) Code Composer Studio to recognize my MSP430FR2311 boards now on-and-off for months. They 'upgrade' the code, and then I can't program my devices. In fact, so far, I've spent more time trying to get the dev environment to work than developing my code. Not Fun. Very cool when it does work, tho. I'd prefer to pay a little more for parts and get some English-based support. I'll work through the Code Disposer Studio issues...again...

It helps if the USB cable one is using actually provides more than just Power and Ground. (red-faced blushing....) I take back all the mud about CCS; except of course now it wants to put a new bootloader on one of the boards, but seems unable to do that. Good thing the other board is fine.

    Wow, didn't know about that. Interesting! thanks. The MSP430 branch is meant for low power; and or getting you and interface translation without needed an FPGA. They are cool -- sort of like pdp-11 in philosophy.
