Dear Rahav, 1. Unfortunately I am not aware of a method to search the forum.
2. To program from the command line and thus to be able to see any error messages before the cmd window shuts down .... Try the following: 1. Find the "Shimmer Firmware" folder. It should contain folders "bin" and "bootstraps" and the program bsl430.exe as a minimum. 2. Copy BoilerPlate_shimmer2r.ihex to the bin folder (saves some typing later). 3. open a command line window, i.e. Start->Run and type cmd. 4. Navigate to location of the previously mentioned "Shimmer Firmware\bin" folder, using the "cd" command. E.g.: cd C:\Documents and Settings\mike\Desktop\Shimmer Firmware\bin 5. Run the following command, using the COM port detected by the "Shimmer Windows Bootstrap Loader" application (COM49 in my case): msp430-bsl.exe --invert-test --invert-reset -c COM49 -r -e -I -p BoilerPlate_shimmer2r.ihex 6. If successful you should see the following output: MSP430 Bootstrap Loader Version: 1.39-telos-7 Mass Erase... Transmit default password ... Invoking BSL... Transmit default password ... Current bootstrap loader version: 1.61 (Device ID: f16c) Program ... 12858 bytes programmed. Reset device ... The front LED on the dock should also be flashing red (while maintaining a steady blue glow) when programming.
