MSP432P410R on Mac OS X 10.10.5: Connection Issues #701

Closed rei-vilo closed 9 years ago

rei-vilo commented 9 years ago

As for #693 MSP430F5529 on Mac OS X 10.10.4: Connection Issues, I'm experiencing issues with the MSP432 LaunchPad since I4ve updated to Mac OS X 10.10.4.

Mac OS X 10.10.4 seems to have changed something compared on USB management with Mac OS X 10.10.3.

As a work-around, I need to press RESET before and until Connecting... is displayed.

As reported earlier, upload is very slow. Any way to improve and make it faster?

Same issue on Mac OS X 10.10.5.

I installed the 10.10.5 update and then proceeded with a clean install of Energia 16 and the provided drivers, EnergiaFTDIDrivers2.2.18 and MSP430LPCDC 1.0.3b.

Shall I consider switching back to Windows?

Another trace with a different error message.

I performed a full install of Mac OS X 10.10.5 and clean install of Energia 16. It solved the problem.

The drivers provided by Energia, CCS Mac and CCS Cloud are conflicting.

As I'm using the Energia framework, I'll refrain from installing CCS Mac or CCS Cloud.

I have installed Energia 16 on a Mac with 10.10.5 that has never had CCS installed. I did not install any drivers (as per the instructions). I am getting "Failed to evaluate GEL_LoadProgramOnly" connection failures approximately 80% of the time I attempt to program the LP MSP432 board.

I always get two USB serial ports listed in Energia16 when the board is plugged in, but unlike the instructions, they are listed as /dev/tty.usbmodem00000001 and /dev/tty.usbmodem00000004. There is no port listed as /dev/cu.uart-XXXX or /dev/tty.uart-XXX. Clearly something has changed since the instructions were written.

Can someone investigate the connection problem and update the instructions please?

Thanks

Looking into this issue as it has come up with a few of the Mac users I've met. Some kind of DSLite conflict with the firmware shipped with the LaunchPad and the DSLite that ships with Energia. Hopefully the team will post updated workaround instructions soon, but I imagine this will be fixed in future releases.

@measley Thank you so much for confirming my issue.

I had no alternative but to do a clean install of Mac OS X + Energia + drivers.

In the meantime, CCS for Mac and CCS Cloud are in quarantine.
