Note: This is a re-post, the original post turned to garbage when HTML consumed extra spaces. I am working on writing two programs that will both reside in and run from MSP430 flash memory: - Main Application - Flash Monitor (can be used to download a new app) Both of these will be C language programs. I have started detailing what I need to do, including the text/instruction...

Maybe this is obvious, but I want to make sure I understand. We're using an MSP430F5438A, and are writing a custom bootloader to update the application. I thought I could erase the main flash by segment, but the documentation only refers to bank erases for main memory. It doesn't say you cannot erase by segment. Must I erase the main flash by bank only? If so, this really complicates things bec...

Hi there, I am new to MSP programming, currently working with MSP430F2418 core, and the jtag to flash code into my memory. I used the JTAG programmer and the TI code composer to compile the binary for MSP core in the mplatform, the compilation is OK, but when the msp430-jtag tries to write the binary into the flash memory, it has an error: Could not erase the Flash : Invalid parameter(s)....

Hello: We have a logger using MSP430F1612, which is connected via an RS-232 line to the PC controlling it. The logger periodically wakes up, makes a measurements and writes the data to the external flash of the PC. After a while, it is time to transfer the data accumulated in the flash to the PC, in order to generate a local log file. Now, the external flash is pretty large, 64MB...

Hello all, My design needs configuration parameters. These configuration parameters can be changed during the life of the product and should not be lost when powering off the product A way to do that is to store these parameters into msp430 flash (I don't have external flash available). However, I just don't know how to do it with the msp430 I suppose that I have to: - Dedicate a...

Hi guys, I want to write 512 bytes into a one flash segment in one step. I have tested the following code and it works. But the data sheet says that the programming voltage is applied to the complete 128-byte block. Does this mean that memcpy should work only at the first 128 bytes? Code is executed from flash, not Ram. Originally, I did write 128 * 4 bytes into the segment, but it's not as f...

Hello Forum Members, I am using CrossStudio for MSP430F1611. Using this IDE alongwith TI JTAG adapter, I can download the compiled output file (*.hzx) to the uC flash. I want to download this file (*.hzx) to uC flash without using CrossStudio IDE. I will use TI JTAG adapter (MSP-FET430PIF) as it is. Is there any utility to perform this task? Has anyone tried this?

Hi All, I'm looking for a good and small flash file system, i.e. I'm looking for a way to store data in flash without having to store all the data at specific locations. So suppose you receive a data stream and need to store this for a while, and than a next stream get in, the old stream needs to be preserved until it is old, and the new one needs to be stored as well. I've read about Tin

Hi Everyone I'm having a problem with an MSP430F5528: I use the ADC12 to sample an input at 8KHz, do a little processing of it, and write it to FLASH, one 32 bit word for every 8 samples (simple ADPCM audio). The problem is that the ADC sample after the FLASH write shows a big noise spike. This spike is not present on the external analog signal, Vcc/AVcc, nor on the external buffered Vref ou...

For field firmware upgrades, it seems cumbersome and unnecessary to send a technician with a version of IAR in order to flash a board. Is there no simple (stand alone) utility that can be used so all they have to do is select the right HEX and flash it? ------------------------------------

Hi, In my application, I use the built-in flash memory of the F249 to log some information. For now, I look at the link map to find out where to start writing my log (beginning of the first unused flash segment, after the end of the CODE segment). Is there a way to determine this adress automatically ? I'm using IAR EWB. Thanks, Patrick ------------------------------------

Hi, i found nothing in the manuals and datasheets: What happens with the msp430 when it reads an illegal instruction (e.g. 0x0000) from the memory? Reset? Nothing? The background of the question are safety matters: Usually, unused flash memory is filled with 0xFFFF after a flash erase. Is it better to fill unused flash memory with 0x0000 or 0xFFFF or a defined instruction? I think, 0xFFF

Hello John, Once flash memory has been initialized, it essentially becomes "write-once" memory until it is initialized again. So, once you have initialized a segment (128 bytes if info memory or 512 bytes otherwise) you can use a similar structure assignment to place your data in flash. For instance, you might write something like void StoreConfigData(ConfigData *configData)

I have a question regarding the flash erase/program cycles. In the user manual of msp430F4xx states that the number of cycles is min 10^4 and typical 10^5. I do not know if a cycle is considered an erase + program, or erase is a cycle and program is another cycle, so when i do an erase + program 2 cycles are decremented from flash memory life. ------------------------------------

Hi all !! Having used all the flash available in my MSP430F149, I would like to know if any of you has succeded in placing code at address 0x0c00, where the bootstrap loader is usually stored. TI says it's ROM bu I have doubts ( why use ROM ? it's likely it's flash memory, and if some trick exists.. ) Thank you all ! Marco
