It helps if the USB cable one is using actually provides more than just Power and Ground. (red-faced blushing....)

I take back all the mud about CCS; except of course now it wants to put a new bootloader on one of the boards, but seems unable to do that. Good thing the other board is fine.

Wow, didn't know about that. Interesting! thanks. The MSP430 branch is meant for low power; and or getting you and interface translation without needed an FPGA. They are cool -- sort of like pdp-11 in philosophy.
