MSP430FG4618 BSL help

Started by "Jul...@gmail.com [msp430]" May 27, 2014
From a quick glance at the code in the disassembler window it looks
like the pins are bit banged and not automaticlly handled in the timer,
so I think it may be possible. I've never had a reason to go there, and
don't use the BSl myself, so I couldn't say 100%

slau319h.pdf and slau319h.zip
I have those two document and zip file.
On further analysis looks like TI has SLAA450.zip in which there are flash
based BSL on USCI UART for 5Xand 6X device.
There i had seen example and TI is suggesting
"The "TA" examples are all based on a software-implemented UART using
TimerA. There will be some minor porting to be performed to reflect the
differences in the clocking and power management system but the
USCI-related material should be relatively direct in terms of moving it
over to the FG4618."

Since this BSL will reside within flash, the linker configuration files for
any application code built for this platform will need to reflect the flash
space allocated for the BSL and remove this section from the available
application space.

This is good for field upgrade if it works.
