MSC1202Y2: How to burn MSC1202y2

Part Number: MSC1202Y2

Can I program this microcontroller using keil software as normal 8051 microcontroller? If not,  how can I upload my program in this microcontroller? Which interface circuit I should use to connect with PC?

  • Hi Rohit,

    Welcome to the E2E forum!  This is a bit difficult for me to answer and may be better answered by Keil.  All development for the MSC products stopped in 2007.  At that time Keil supported the MSC products with uVision2 and I believe there was a debug feature that allowed downloading of the firmware.  Some of the examples were developed using this version compiler and can be found at:

    ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/data_acquisition/MSC_CD-ROM/Example_Programs/MSC120X_Examples/

    As far as current Keil versions, it is difficult to say what would need to be done, and you would have to contact them for specific support.  For sure you would require a UART connection for downloading the compiled program.

    If you already have working firmware, it can be downloaded to the MSC1202 using a UART connection to the MSC1202.  You can use the TI Downloader program that is also on the ftp site:

    ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/data_acquisition/MSC_CD-ROM/DownLoader/

    Holding port 1.0 low on device reset puts the MSC1202 into serial programming mode.  This is discussed in the MSC1202 datasheet on page 37 in the Serial Flash Programming Mode section.  Once you have established a hardware connection for the UART, you can use the TI Downloader program to connect the UART and send the hex file to the MSC1202.

    Best regards,
