Thanks for the VMX file. Looks like the major difference is the
virtualHW.version. I'll try to install fresh xp with lower hw version.
Also this time I'll install sp2 before vmware tools.
Yesterday I tried Windows Vista and that too demonstrates the
enumeration loop.

Hi Chetan,
Please see below my vmx file for the Dell D620.
Also I have installed the SP2 before the installation of the VMWare Tools
Installation.
And here for me I don't have any yellow questions marks in the device
manager.

Ferry

Thanks Ferry,
One reason could be my Windows Binaries. My copy of Windows XP is 2002
(no service packs)
Another thing I recall while installing is after installing vmware
tools and SP2 and before connecting the ez430, there is a yellow
question mark for USB (controller maybe). How did you resolve that? In
my case I uninstalled it and restarted the vm and a driver was found.
Can you also post the contents of your vmx file please? My vmx is:

Hi Chetan,
The enumeration problem only occurred with my release 1.x VMware drivers,
never with the release 2.x drivers.
My other problem is that I can't test on any other hardware as we have
only
Dell equipment in the office.
But to my mind this should not be the problem. When you go back to the host
OS, is their some special software
Loaded? I know that the TI USB drivers are not 100% certified and compliant
with Windows but this should not be a major problem.
As mentioned I see the same configuration as you, the moment I start up
Workbench and compile and download (flash) the stick it work fine.
I'm lost here at this moment, as I would need to test on a environment
which
is not clean ... I will try my home system which is a ASUS Quad Core... and
replicate the same environment I know for 100% that this is not clean...
Keep you posted...

Hi Chetan,
I would recommend the Digi Box this is the Ethernet to USB converter. We use
this for all our customer support request replications. http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.jsp this product we use under
Linux Redhat 4, and Windows variations.

Hi Ferry,
Thanks for taking time and replicating the situation.
Looks like this time I'm out of luck too :-(
Here is what I did
1. Took a clean fresh XP installed VM (no drivers / sp , etc)
2. Installed SP2
3. Installed VMware tools (2.0.0, build-101586)
4. Restart VM
5. Installed Kickstart V4.11A (FET R512 / slac050s)
6. Connected the EZ430-F2013 to the host USB
7. Host found new hardware and tried to install the drivers. Ignored
the host and cancelled the driver installation.
8. Connected the TI USB to the VM
9. VM detected new hardware. Did not allow to connect to internet to
find driver, specified location of the driver: C:\Program Files\IAR
Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.0\430\drivers\TIUSBFET\WinXP
10. The driver was found and windows complained about not being
signed. Allowed the installation of unsigned driver.
11. Found another driver, pointed to the same directory, allowed the
installation of unsigned driver.
12. All drivers were installed properly. Verified two drivers from TI
in device manager. Verified no yellow marks in device manager.
13 started Embedded workbench and opened flash led workspace, selected
the correct device MSP430F2013 in project options, rebuilt all, hit
ctrl-D and got fatal error.
Till now I have tried three hosts and saw the same problem.
My copy of XP is version 2002 VL Media
I'm building a new machine and will install Linux / Vmware Wks 6 and
then will create a new vm again.

Hi Chetan,
I have tested the similar Guest OS environment you should have, I used the
following configuration:
Hardware:
- DELL Latitude D620 notebook
Software:
Host OS
- Windows XP/SP2
Guest OS
- VMware Workstation 6.0.4 (downloaded latest release) / Player 6.0.4
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 (our standard baseline)
- IAR 430 Kickstart in TI 430 Tools site (downloaded slac050s [FET-R512])
- used the eZ430 F2013 stick
You need to point when installing to the IAR directory / 430 / drivers /
winxp
the TIUSB and Serial drivers will be installed now.
I can compile, download and debug on the eZ430 F2013 stick.
I even thought OK, let's get SP3 on and see if any changes. Everything
worked fine as well.
So my conclusion is that there must be a driver which is not correct
installed/loaded or is blocking the ports
from another application or tool, because this clean install work fine for
me.

Ferry

Vmware tools were already installed in the guest OS before I installed

As you can see, the screen-shots here have the little vmware tools
