There is an issue upgrading F5529 launchpad from ide, when you do it could shows one of the following: MSPDebug version 0.20 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs Copyright (C) 2009-2012 Daniel Beer dlbeer@gmail.com This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

Or

So can be sometimes disgusting so what to do? sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/energia-0101E0013/hardware/tools/msp430/bin ./mspdebug tilib --allow-fw-update MSPDebug version 0.20 - debugging tool for MSP430 MCUs Copyright (C) 2009-2012 Daniel Beer dlbeer@gmail.com This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

then run again:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/energia-0101E0013/hardware/tools/msp430/bin ./mspdebug tilib --allow-fw-update

And it works.

It can take up to 3 tries to update the firmware. This has to do with the way to firmware is updated in steps. After each step the LaunchPad need to be enumerated and that can take time. The current timeout in the tilib is such that it can timeout before the enumeration happens resulting in a failure. When this happens just do it again (up to 3 times) to complete each step separately.
