Hold the button down while attaching the F5529 LaunchPad to the USB host, continue to hold it for

approximately one second after attaching, and then release. (This assumes the F5529 LaunchPad was

unpowered prior to attaching, which allows a power-up event to occur.) The target F5529 should

enumerate under USB BSL control as a HID interface. The USB BSL has its own vendor ID (VID) and

product ID (PID), the codes used in USB to separate one USB product from another. The BSL's VID and

PID pair is 0x2047 and 0x0200.

In Device Manager, the HID interface can be found under the "Human Interface Devices" group. (See

Section 3.7 for instructions on starting Device Manager.) If you open Device Manager prior to attaching

the LaunchPad as described above, you will see it refresh, and then two new entries appear: "HID-

compliant device" and "USB Input Device". Both refer to the one HID interface presented by the USB BSL.

These are generic names that can also appear for other HID devices. To be completely sure these entries

derive from the USB BSL, you can look for the VID and PID associated with them, and make sure they

are 0x2047 and 0x0200. For every such entry under the "Human Interface Devices" group, right-click on

the entry, then click Properties, then go to the "Details" tab, and select "Hardware IDs" from the pulldown

menu (see Figure 22).

Figure 22. Identifying the USB BSL's HID Interface in Device Manager

For every other HID interface entry, the IDs in the "Value" field are different. For the USB BSL, they

include the strings "VID_2047" and "PID_0200".

If these interface entries do not appear, then something went wrong in the procedure to press the USB

BSL button to invoke the BSL. Re-try the procedure.
