Have you ever thought of programming MSP430 over WiFi ?!

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hi,

We've launched a campaign on Kickstarter for our open-source WiFi programmer named "WiLoader" and Kickstarter has selected "WiLoader" as a "Project We Love!"

WiLoader currently supports AVR family and fits perfectly with Arduino. But we are going to support more MCU series like MSP430 , ARM Cortex Mx, etc.

To support MSP430 family we can implement JTAG or even Spy-Bi-Wire interface. BSL is another option too. 

As WiLoader is open-source, we hope open-source contributors help us support more MCUs in the future firmware releases.

Please check out our page and give us any suggestions you might have. We hope we will reach the campaign goal with the help of TI and its developer community.

    Hi PetuniaTech

    Exactly what I've been looking for/wanting to do! Currently I'm looking at using a Raspberry Pi + MSP-FET which seems messy and a hassle to get set up. I've searched a couple of times before for ESP8266 firmware to provide remote programming/debug and was very disappointed at what little I could find, so very pleased to hear about your plans. I've backed your campaign on Kickstarter, you've got my full support. Good luck!

    That said, what if you don't reach your target of $40k?
    It would be great if you hosted an open project to develop ESP8266 code to support MSP430 debug and beyond...

    Regards

    Hi Majik.

    Thank you for your support and helpful comment.

    WiLoader is our first campaign on Kickstarter and we've learned a lot during this journey. We will continue even if the campaign ended with no success.

    Please follow campaign updates.

    Regards,

    Wireless debugger is good for certain targets which is moving or rotating. For this, I think u should also consider power consumption by adding an optional battery, instead of using the power from target. Because it may cause different behavior due to the drained current pulse by WiFi module.

    I believe Kickstarter is basically for business. For open source project like WiLoader, I don't think it is suitable since there is no profit and hence no strong motivation.
