Hi all,
Monitoring this list, a number of messages are posted regarding the download
of code using the MSP430's UART. Has anyone succeeded in this and prepared
to share the code?
depends what you want. the MSP430 has a built in serial bootstrap
loader. search for BSL there are two application notes from TI descibing
it's features and how to use it. msp430-bsl is our tool to programm
MSP430s this way. you have to use predefined pins (see MSP430 datasheet).
of course there is also the possibility to write a custom updater that
does not erase itself from flash or runs from the RAM while upgrading.
but i have no example at hand for that method.
i prefer to use the BSL, builtin or re-implemented. that way i have a
specified protocol and the common tools on the PC side.
