Well, I *think* that this should work if you go to the "Options",
"C-SPY", "Flash Emulation Tools" and check the boxes
"Verify Download"
and "Supress Download".

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

Hello Anders,

 

I tried what you suggested but it does not display any status like
"Memory Verified OK" and it does not appear to work.

 

Does the IAR Embedded Workbench from your company, not the "freebie"
from TI, perform this function?

Hello,

We'd hate to have you fork out big bucks for just this function. I 
know there are a few people on this group who can sell you this 
function for much cheaper. A list of the MSP430 tools vendors can be 
found at msp430.info, compliments of Jean Randhahn.

I haven't tried this myself, but according to our emulator guy the
verify phase never reports "ok", it only complains when the
verification failed.

Please let me know if you have tried this.

On this respect there is no difference between the free package and
the full.  Basically, the only difference between the packages is the
size of application that can be built.  (We used to have some packages
that only supported C and assembler, but today all of our packages
support Embedded C++.)
