I use MSP430-JTAG-ISO, olimex.
Working Envionment is IAR 4.20,
I have problem with that jtag using F5437, but previous programming for F169 was OK. (I used with that for several months)
The error messages are like below.
<Communicaiton Error. Please conncect the device and press Retry to reconnect or press cancel to abort> and below message is followed.
<Fatal Error : Failed to set vcc. Session aborted.>
Eventually, I tested F5437 with TI JTAG (MSP43-FETU430IF) and the connection to the target board was successful. (with the same environment)
What's the problem for that? :?

P.S.) I think the problem is same as previous subject "ProBlem programming Olimex MSP430-4619LCD" which is listed at 'Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:49 pm' by 'mynameispranay'

In the case of using IAR EW, the driver file update(dll files change) was mandatory. I thought the New driver can cover the all the file update process, but it doesn't. (If IAR EW program is used, the file update is always necessary.)
If you download new driver file, please read the ...\OLIMEX MSP430-DLL drivers 1.034\output\readme.txt file.
