Re: Launchpad MSP430 Device Initialization Error
It seems like whenever this error is encountered it has to do with the initial step in programming the device which is updating the firmware of the 'ez_FET' programmer (the chip on the top right of the board). It may be related to the device revision and the version of the programming tool.

Can you tell me the marking on that chip as well as under the 'MSP430F5529' marking on the chip in the center.

For example, mine is:

Code:
M430F5528

TI 52K I
CRFE G4
and

Code:
M430F5529
REV I
I'll be sending you a PM with a couple of options that may fix the issue. If it works I will post an update here.
