So, I recently had to do a reinstall of ubuntu, and I'm unable to get energia working again with the fr5969 (wolverine). I downloaded energia, and can start it fine. Code compiles without issues. But it won't detect my board. If I go to tools > board I can select the fr5969, but tools > serial port is greyed out. When I try and upload code I get
MSP430_GetNumberOfUsbIfs
MSP430_GetNameOfUsbIf
No unused FET found.
What I've done so far:
lsusb shows Bus 002 Device 008: ID 2047:0013 Texas Instruments
so the board is connected properly,
going to energia-0101E0012/hardware/tools/msp430/bin and typing ./mspdebug tilib returns
tilib: can't find libmsp430.so: libmsp430.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
even though energia just says 'no unused fet'. So, I copied energia-0101E0012/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/libmsp430.so to /usr/lib, and tried again. Now ./mspdebug tilib says
MSP430_GetNumberOfUsbIfs
MSP430_GetNameOfUsbIf
No unused FET found.
Exactly what energia was already saying, so I'm not sure if this helped or not, but I'll leave it for now. So, I typed ./mspdebug --fet-list and a bunch of stuff shows up (MSP430F1232, MSP430F2418, MSP430F5438A, etc) but the fr5969 is not listed in there, so I'm guessing it is not supported by this version of mspdebug? Do I just need to upgrade it somehow?
EDIT:
All better, I just didn't have the proper permissions. Adding my user to dialout fixed this
