I think I have a partly damaged MSP430F149. With gdbproxy.exe (latest version from Steves-ftp) the writing to some regions fail:
debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xF000, ptr, 0) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xF000, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xF027, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xF04E, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xF075, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xFFE0, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) error: msp430: Could not write device memory (7) debug: msp430: msp430_write_mem(0xFFE0, ptr, 0) debug: MSP430_Memory(WRITE) error: msp430: Could not write device memory (7) However, this MSP430 is fully programmable with the IAR tools (FET_R420.exe). Version 1 (FET_R308.exe FET_R308u.exe) fails too. If I exchange the MSP430F149 with another one (same charge) it works with gdbproxy and no errors. (I tested with Win XP and win95, MSP-FET, the voltage is 3.3 volts externally applied, on both machines I got the same results). I wonder what happend with my '149, and why the IAR tools (V2) are better. It seems that the FLASH could not be erased properly. How can I erase the FLASH with insight? (only erasing, not writing, I want to play with flash erasing to see how often I have to issue the erase command). With the memory tool I can only reset bits (=0) in the flash, setting (=1) is not possible. Matthias
