Hello,
I am a complete beginner in controllers. I just got my first one (MSP430FR5969).
After I watched some tutorials I tried to start playing with it.
I downloaded and installed everything it was saying in TI site and three days later i have not been able to do absolutely nothing. When I am trying to upload an example sketch or update programmer i get the error:
tilib: MSP430_OpenDevice: Unknown device (error = 5).
I was initially trying in Ubuntu 14.04 64 (2 days) and today I have been trying in win 7 64. In both operating systems i get stuck at this point.
I managed to make the device manager recognize it in win.
I have it connected to my laptop through a usb.
I do not know what to do and i would really appreciate some advice.
A probably stupid question: When I want to program it through energia, do i have to have a specific configuration for the jumpers?
I tried the first one shown on Figure 12 ( USB ez-FET Power configuration) among how it was when I got it and a couple of other configurations.
I hope I am giving enough information for my problem.
Thank you very much in advance and congratulations for the forum.
