    NurseBob got a reaction from AwaisFarooqi in Error compiling for board MSP-EXP430F5529LP   
    >energia also has in its software serial library error
    Well, no. The 5529 has hardware serial.  Don't use software serial.  FWIW, it's not an error in Energia, but a limitation of the software serial library that it can't run with the faster clock.

    NurseBob got a reaction from MoreBeer in Resolved: Unable to upload anything to the EXP430   
    The first line in the error log says it all:
    java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.dslite-9.2.0.1793-e1.path}/DebugServer/bin/DSLite": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified It's not about the launchpad but your Energia/system configuration.  In short, a "file not found" error for the compiler. So, an environment/path setting?
    On my system the compiler is found @ C:\ti\Energia\energia-1.8.10E23\hardware\tools\DSLite\DebugServer\bin
    if you search for dslite under your Energia installation is it found?

    Interesting.  My experience with both IAR and CCS is that they refuse to load images to a device when it's different than what the project specifies and they both clearly report it as an error.

    NurseBob got a reaction from energia in MSP430G2 no communication   
    You've described the problem, but supplied no information to allow remote diagnosis.  Without a schematic and related code, there's really no way to help, aside from the most general suggestions regarding jumpers, pins and I2C pullup resistors, all of which you've likely read (and hopefully applied).  Finally, you mention migrating an existing project; did you have that working, and if so, under what version of Energia? 
    Re: UART - there may be no hardware UART on your chip.
    "If your Launchpad is version 1.4 or earlier, the chips that it shipped with have no hardware UART and thus, no hardware configuration is necessary, but you must use the SoftwareSerial library included in Energia to communicate over the serial port."
    You indicate you have an MSP430G2452, according to SLAU318G, there is only USI availble on that chip, the UART is on the G2553's USCI impementation.

    NurseBob got a reaction from Anshikajain in I2C- MSP-EXP430G2ET   
    @Anshikajain Sorry, I've been offline for a couple of days. Not really sure what your question was, but FWIW, I rarely use Energia.  That said, when I2C fails in Energia, it's almost always a configuration problem.  My suggestion with the video was focused on how they configured the '430 jumpers.  The G25 devices were significantly different from the later versions, and many have tripped over jumpers incorrectly configured.  In your photo it appears you have the jumper P1.6 placed for the LED, and that was the very first comment in the video - the device will not work in I2C mode if that jumper is placed (at least on the older boards).  Looking at the docs, pins P2.1 and P2.2 are designated as SCL and SDA (sw), which I presume means software, not hardware I2C?  It's difficult to see in your photo, but it looks like you're using P1.6 and P1.7.  So, the video's comments, and this from Energia docs:
    "
    When using I2C
    When using the Hardware I2C (Wire library) with SCL on P1.6 and SDA on P1.7 on the MSP-EXP430G2 you should remove the P1.6 jumper (GREEN LED) so that the LED doesn’t interfere with the I2C SCL signal...
    "

    I don't know if I'm able to help much further.  Please check your jumpers!

    What i2c device are you connecting? What does is do? What's the device address? (per device specs) Is it really 2?
    Are you using pullups? I2c requires some type of pullup, and in general, the internal resistors on the '430 devices are not an appropriate value, so external are usually used.
    Note: by default, i2c comms are on LP pins 9 (SCL) and 10 (SDA)  not 15 &&16 - P1.6 and P1.7, Energia defaults to spi on those pins.

    So I spent some time with the latest energia 1.8.7E21. It is still using msp430-gcc.

To get your SD Card Bootloader running in Energia you would have to replace the blink.S with SDBSL-G2553.S and change your coding style to make msp430-gcc happy.  You would also have to replicate all the code that the normal C runtime code does to create an environment for a C++ application. Basically you have to setup the .data section (copying the initial values from flash to ram), initialize the .bss section all to zero, loop through all the global c++ constructors, then call the users main function.

    Have you looked at what's happening "under the hood" with CCS or similar? All things considered, I find it amazing that the current is as low as it is.  Energia is a great place to start and experiment, but it's not intended to replace coding that is far closer to the metal, er, silicon. Given it's heritage as a msp430 version of the Arduino, it's a very impressive piece of work.  But, to manage the supporting classes, and the ever-present loop, it is constrained if your're looking for ultra-low power apps.  You have already demonstrated that differential with your driverlib version.

    @Jacamo, really hard to say.  However, looking at the code (it always help to actually post what you wrote - saves time for looking things up...), you might want to explore increasing the delay interval so the steps, if occuring, are easier to see.  FWIW, looking at the schematic in the page you referenced, the resistor is 220 Ohm, not 10K.  Also, another FWIW,  P1.6 (pin 14) is factory connected to the green LED2 on the board.  You needn't actually add an external LED.  I had a spare LP with a G2553 (same pinout for the first 14 as your G2231, so same code works) available, pasted the code, added the jumper for LED 2 and ran the code; all works as promised.  Do you have the jumper on the LED2?  If so, that might interfere...
