List the steps to reproduce the problem.

It seems IDE got the wrong path of DSLite? But it works on windows version.

I'm having the same exact problem also on Catalina. Board is a MSP430G2ET.

This is indeed a bug. The wrong version of DSLite was included in Energia 22. I will have a new release (Energia 23) later this week. For now, use Energia 21.
Energia 23 will also include a new release of the MSP430 core.

Great, thank you!

Is there an official place to download compiled 23? Energia.nu most recent link is to 1.8.7E21. I stumbled upon 1.8.10E22 from your post on 43oh.com's forums, but was wondering if there was a more official place to find links to early releases. Thanks!

I modified the platform.txt file(/Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Java/hardware/energia/msp430/platform.txt), it works currently.
On line 96:

...
tools.dslite.path={runtime.tools.dslite-8.2.0.1400.path}
tools.dslite.config.path={path}
tools.dslite.cmd.path={runtime.ide.path}/hardware/tools/DSLite/DebugServer/bin/DSLite
tools.dslite.upload.pattern={cmd.path} {upload.verbose} load -c "{runtime.ide.path}/hardware/energia/msp430/variants/{build.variant}/{build.variant}.ccxml" -f "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf"
...

It's not the best solution, but you can use it for emergency. Or you can try to compile Energia with latest msp430-core.

@MrThanlon Thanks, your suggestion got me closer, but it looks like I have a problem specific to my board. When I try to upload my code, I get:

Failed: Cannot read System Setup data from XML file /Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Java/hardware/energia/msp430/variants/MSP-EXP430G2ET2553LP/MSP-EXP430G2ET2553LP.ccxml

Looking it that EXP430G2ET2553LP directory, the ccxml file is named MSP-EXP430G2553LP.ccxml, which is a different basename than the parent directory name, causing the read error. If I rename the file to EXP430G2ET2553LP.ccxml, I get a dreaded "No USB FET was found" error.

@robertinant The noted problem seems to persist into Energia 23. Energia 21 runs perfectly from download but 23 doesn't and gives a familiar:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.dslite-9.2.0.1793-e1.path}/DebugServer/bin/DSLite": error=2, No such file or directory

I'm using the Linux version.

@trick2011 and @robertinant just wanted to confirm that I also have the same issue, with Energia 21 working but 23 giving me the same error of

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.dslite-9.2.0.1793-e1.path}/DebugServer/bin/DSLite": error=2, No such file or directory

I am using the Linux version on 64 bit Ubuntu 18.04.

[acidbourbon]

I have the exact same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 and Energia E23 ... i can has fix pls? :D :D

[jackakyle]

Just coming back to this @acidbourbon, if you use the Boards Manager to update to V1.0.7 of the MSP430 boards it fixes this issue on E23.

[Itamare4]

Ubuntu 18.04 - I have upgraded to 1.0.7, it worked according to @jackakyle advise - Thanks!

It stopped during the first firmware upgrade and now I get the following error - "One of the connected MSP-FETs / eZ-FETs debuggers needs recovery. Select 'Recover' to start the recovery process."
