Discussions on how to get your MSP JTAG programmer up and running.

My setup is as follows:

MSP430F149 Proto Board
MSP-JAP Parallel Port Programmer
Win XP
Olimex MSP Programmer

When I attempt Command > Read from the Programmer, it fails with the error message:

Cannot Initialize the Port
Reading Failed

Similarly, I also tried downloading code using the IAR compiler. It also failed when trying to connect to the proto board.

I noticed that the Olimex website had a link for drivers for the MSP-JTAG, but the link was broken. Am I missing a driver? Suggestions on where to download are appeciated.

Thanks, Brad

When all else fails, reboot the PC. Works fine now.
