I’m using PlatformIO with VSCode on windows10.
Now I’m using msp430f5529 and error occors when i upload the code.

Here’s my config

[env:lpmsp430f5529]
platform = timsp430
framework = arduino
board = lpmsp430f5529

and the error message:

So did you do a google search and work through the suggestions here, here and here? For example as a start, do you see a proper new COM port in the device manager when you plugin your launchpad?
