Just got the USB version, eZ430-2013 Development tool, but It's not being rocognized by my PCs. Can anyone help? I just emailed TI, and while I wait for reply, thought I'ld ask here. I followed all installation instructions. When I plug it in USB, it's recognized as a MSP-FET430UIF JTAG device, then up pops the Hardware Wizard looking for a driver. I browse to where TI says to, but to no avail.
What do you mean by not recognized? If you mean the "...has not passed Windows testing..." screen just blow past it by clicking "continue anyway"
Check to see that the (virtual) COM port assigned by IAR isn't used by another device that may be connected to your PC. Some USB devices may behave the same way as the TI programmer in that they are really camouflaged serial port devices.

It doesn't get that far. It can't find the driver to get to that point.
In Device Manager, it shows up under "Other Devices - MSP-FET430UIF JTAG Tool" .
If your IAR installation doesn't have it at the location where TI says it should be then I'd use the CD. Go to page 10:

Thanks, but I've been doing that. I can't get past step 6. I used the default installation location and browse to the folder, but nothing. Here's whats in the driver/WinXP folder: umpf3410.i51 umpf5052.i51 umpCompXP.cat umpusbp.cat
430CDC.inf UmpCompXP.inf UmpusbXP.inf UmpusbXP.sysAm I missing something?
Hmm, no, that's pretty much what is in my directory as well and it worked. Very puzzling. Let's see what TI says.

AS with other types of USB's Did you first install the software package before plugging in the device? Normally it's requested that you first install the software so that windows gets the driver database updated././ You may need to reboot.. IN which case you then insert the device.

I've heard of other people having problems with that kit. Mine installed OK, though, on my main PC and on my laptop. 8-)
