How to use the hex430.exe

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2410

Hi there,

I have a MSP430 and try to get my programms run on it. 

First, I have the CCSv6 (the latest, I downloaded it yesterday) and write my Code (at this moment, it's only a LED which should go on). I build my Code and get a out-file as resume.

Second, I use the Command Terminal from Windows to navigate in the folder where the out-file is (also the hex430.exe, i've copy them to this) and use this commandline:

hex430.exe -i name.out -o name.hex

Thirdly, i use the FlashPro430 vom Elpotronic (it's the Company I've the Programmer from) and want to do a "AtuoProg" with the hex-file. Evry time i get the resume "failed"

This is my Code:

#include <msp430x24x.h>
 
void main(void)
{
	WDTCTL=WDTPW+WDTHOLD;  

	//LED @ P2.2
	P2DIR = 0x04;	
	P2SEL = 0x00;	
	P2IE  = 0x00;	
	P2OUT = 0x04;	

	while(1)
	{}
}

and this is the hex-file:

    CCS can output a hex file as well, there is no need to do it by yourself.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Projects_and_Build_Handbook_for_CCS

    And your HEX-File looks a little bit different from what I am used to. Maybe you have selected the wrong format. You have to build an TI-TXT format file.

    And as far as I remember the Elpotronic FlashPro does not accept .hex files, at least the older versions, maybe now they do. I had to rename the .hex file to .txt and then FlashPro successfully wrote the data into the MCU.

    A TI-TXT file looks like this:

    Hi Dennis,

    thanks for the link. I will try it out tomorrow.

    I've try and set the properties as you show in the Screenshots, but I don't get a hex-file. Only the out-file...

    I know that my hex-file don't look like it should. I have only no clue what went wrong...

    The hex-files are now supported by the Elpotronic FlashPro.

    That is an Intel-format hex file. However it doesn't look right either. You have 32 bytes each at address x2100, x2140, and x2180 (which are 64-byte chunks) and what looks like the vector table (the vectors look wrong also).

    The MSP430F2410 has some FLASH at x2100, but the gaps do not make sense - unless you have something setup strange in your linker cmd file.

    I would recommend using the TI-TXT format.

    Hi all,

    now I get a TI-TXT-file out of my Code, I don't know why exactly (I follow the Step in the Wiki, but first I hadn't any change, after some trys it does what i expected...)

    And now flashing the MCU via the FlasPro works, too?
