Uploading from Energia to the MSP432E LaunchPad fails with the following error:

/Users/ReiVilo/Library/Energia15/packages/energia/tools/dslite/7.2.0.2096/DebugServer/bin/DSLite load -c /Users/ReiVilo/Library/Energia15/packages/energia/tools/dslite/7.2.0.2096/EK-TM4C1294XL.ccxml -f /var/folders/px/cyfvtr757lqg0yp_cv9j79jh0000gn/T/arduino_build_494389/MSP432E.ino.elf

However, using UniFlash 4.4.0 works fine.

Using instead works.

/Users/ReiVilo/Library/Energia15/packages/energia/tools/dslite/8.2.0.1400/DebugServer/bin/DSLite load -c /Users/ReiVilo/Library/Energia15/packages/energia/tools/dslite/8.2.0.1400/MSP_EXP432E401Y.ccxml -f /Users/ReiVilo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/e-1017-MSP432-Ethernet-aositlohncfkjkcmlplmyftwchgc/Build/Products/Debug/embeddedcomputing.elf

I don't know if you could solve the problem, but i had to enable the option to install drivers unsigned in windows 10. After that, go to Device Manager and install the drivers specifying the path to the Energia folder. Then, reboot or close everything and try again.

For anyone experiencing this error on Windows:

In the boards manager, install the Tivac boards kit. Then, open the folder C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Energia15\packages\energia\hardware\msp432e\5.19.0 and edit platform.txt to match the file attached:
https://gist.github.com/gjsman/83ef53f1c91d74989a5d403246021489

After doing this, Energia does work on the MSP-EXP432E401Y.
(Edit: fixed folder, copied wrong one)

Thank you!

Would you mind opening a pull request with the changes?

I don't know if this fixes the necessary Tivac boards package problem or that this doesn't break other boards, however.
