Launchpad MCU fails to load program

I am having some trouble loading a program onto a msp430g2302 using the launchpad platform and code composer studio 5.

I have tried using the msp430g2211 and msp430g2231 and these both load a simple blink program with no problems. But as soon as I put a msp430g2302 into my mspexp430g2 I get an error message saying "load program error" "<filepath> load failed" and the following information comes up in the console

MSP430: Trouble Writing Memory Block at 0xfffe on Page 0 of Length 0x2: Could not write device memory
MSP430: GEL: File: C:\Users\MR_ONE\launchpad\BlinkMe\Debug\BlinkMe.out: Load failed.

I change the device variant under properties to msp430g2302 and I have tested with two different msp430g2302. Is there anything else I could try?

Hi Stephen,

It may be something with the lanchpad you use, is it 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5?
Here you can find some info about this issue: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/t/93945.aspx
Maybe you need to update the firmware: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_LaunchPad_Firmware_Update
But read the comments from the update wiki page because sometimes it didn't end well.

Regards,
Dan

The launchpad I am using is revision 1.4
And I will try the firmware update and see if that will fix the problem.
