Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP-FET430UIF and mspdebug
Hi Daniel, Looking at the data sheet of MSP430F5528, this is what I see in the memory organisation map, Interrupt vector table 0x to 0xff80 (128 bytes) Main code memory 0x243ff to 0x4400 (131072 bytes or 128 Kb) So using the following two will give me enough information to restore the firmware? hexout 0xff80 128 invtable.hex hexout 0x4400 131072 main.hex How can I restore the firmware with these two hex files? I am just curious that why do I have to save the interrupt vector table? MSPFlasher only gives the option of reading out the main, bsl, info and ram but no interrupt vector table. I can save it using mspdebug but was just curious.

It'd be best to grab one image for each contiguous flash region (main and interrupt vector table, if there's a gap between them). You can trim the HEX header and footer and splice them together if you want to be able to restore in one step.

Hi Sarfraz, In this case, the interrupt vector table is a subset of the main flash, so you only need one hexout command: hexout 0x4400 131072 main.hex You can restore with: prog main.hex Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Beer dlb...@gmail.comwww.dlbeer.co.nz IRC: inittab (Freenode)PGP key: 2048D/160A553B -- Subversion Kills Productivity.

Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP-FET430UIF and mspdebug
Hi, It looks like you are able to talk to the FET but but the MCU. Have you ever managed to get a successful JTAG connection to the device? Btw. the Windows MSP430 Command Line flasher has some option to control VCC (I think it was -z or something, but better read the docs:-) so maybe a different setting could help getting a connection. I'm not sure if MSPDEBUG has the same options though. best regards, Valentin On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 11:07 AM, Sarfraz Nawaz sarf...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Daniel, Thank you for the reply.

Re: [Mspgcc-users] MSP-FET430UIF and mspdebug
Hi Valentin, No I have not been able to make a JTAG connection before. I tried downgrading to version 2 of the firmware but I get the following error.

Have you ever managed to get a successful JTAG connection to the device? Btw. the Windows MSP430 Command Line flasher has some option to control VCC (I think it was -z or something, but better read the docs:-) so maybe a different setting could help getting a connection. I'm not sure if MSPDEBUG has the same options though. best regards, Valentin On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 11:07 AM, Sarfraz Nawaz sarf...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Daniel, Thank you for the reply. I tried your suggestion of dropping the leading /dev/ and this is what I get on Linux. I get the same error on Windows 7 with a precompiled dll that ships with TI's flasher tool.

I think the problem is likely a wiring issue on your board. There is a pin used by the FET to sense the supply voltage -- is this connected ok?
