as shown in below

Nothing is shown.

Is this a new board not working or tried to program it and something went wrong?

Are the settings correct in CCS? Also, make sure the drivers are all installed. Try to install IAR is CCS is not working to see if it is a CCS problem.

Hi bmarshall651,
In same CCS, works for other launchpad but still the problem launchpad not works,, please help to rectify the problem,,,

Do you have an extra 430 chip? Try to swap it out. If that doesnt work, there is probably a hardware problem on the JTAG interface they have on board.

i tried for other chip but it not works.....
then how to rectify hardware problem on the JTAG interface

The other 430 on the board could be fried. The MSP430Fx16(or something like that) programs the chip in the socket. Also, here is a schematic to help. I would first check to see if you see the JTAG signals before replacing the programming 430. Hope this helps.
