I have a design that has a large Flash (4Mbit), and wish to download a firmware into the Flash, and then have the MCU update the program memory with the new firmware.

I found messages/articles about a custom boot loader using the F5XXX.
I am using the MSP430F4783, which I don't think has this option.

Would the above be possible for the MSP430F4783?

Hi,
Whatever uC you have you can do your own customised code loader. Here is a possible sequence:
1. power up
2. reset value to instructions starts your code
3. your code checks if a new update is ready and if not continues normal operation
4. if new update is in place then the code is updated and a reset is generated.
Details of implementations are dependant of your skills and intended behaviour.
Use your imagination.
