8.3.1 No Error Code: DAP Connection Error

Possible root causes:

  • SWD connection issues.
  • Broken MSPM33 device.
  • The CPU enters a fault state.
  • A software (POR or BOOTRST) or hardware reset occurs during connection.

Possible recovery methods:

  • Check the SWD hardware connection.
  • Check that the VCC, NRST, and Vcore (if supported) are within the datasheet specifications.
  • Force NRST low, and reconnect the device. If a DAP connection error does not appear, try the methods detailed in GUID-37D05F36-F940-4BDC-AFCB-33F6157BE936.html.
