SPPLEDemo_Lite App On MSP430F5529 Experimenter board USB Enumeration Issues

Hi,

I am having USB Enumeration issues with the SPPLEDemo_Lite App on the MSP430F5529 Experimenter Board.

I just purchased the MSP430F5529 Experimenter board and the PAN1323 EMK. I loaded the Bluetopia Basic SPPLEDemo_Lite App and selected the MSP430F5529 Exp in IAR. I compiled it and flashed the MSP430F5529 Experimenter board. The PAN1323 bluetooth module is plugged in the RF1/2 connections. Followed the basic jumper recommendations:

a) Connect the CC256x board PAN1323ETUonto the MSP-EXP430F5529 board using the RF1/RF2 connectors (RF EVM connectors)

b) Remove the JP3 Jumper.

c) In J12, make sure Pin 3 to Pin 4 (P1.0 to P2.0), Pin 5 to Pin 6 (P4.4 to P4.0), Pin 7 to Pin 8 (P4.5 to P4.6), Pin 9 to Pin 10 (P4.7 to P2.4) are connected as shown in the picture.

d) Make sure the other default jumper configuration remains on your MSP-EXP430F5529 board

The instructions to run the demo are:

“Once the code is flashed, connect the board to a PC using a miniUSB to USB cable. Once connected, wait for the driver to install. It will show up as MXP-EXP430F5438 USB - Serial Port(COM x) under Ports(COM & LPT) in the Device manager. Attach a Terminal program like Tera Term to the serial port x for the board. The serial parameters to use are 9600 Baud, 8,n,1 and no flow control.”

The power select switch is in MSP430F5529 Experimenter board is in "LDO" setting. The problem is when I connect the USB in the 5529 USB port, I can't seem to get the code to get my PC enumerated and try to look for a 5529 USB driver. Without a USB driver on connecting the comm port to USB, serial communication is not possible. I have verified the USB on the board works when I revert the board back to it's original Demo default mode and can run a USB echo application example. 

Has anyone have similar issues using the SPPLEDemo_Lite App from StoneStreet on an MSP430F5529 Experimenter board?

Thanks!
