Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the info. That sounds a bit better than the chip replacement
(though I will try that if nothing else works, thanks Crazy Casta).
Did you come across an instruction to follow this procedure? Can it be done
with mspdebug?
As far as I read this morning about BSL operations, the mass erase deletes
both program and information data. Isn't loss of information data going to
bring me more trouble? :)
Best regards,
Kuba
