MSP432E401Y: Issues Programming MAC address register with uniflash 6 CLI

Part Number: MSP432E401Y
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

I can successfully program my MSP432E401y using uniflash 6.0.0 GUI.   I can also program the MAC address register using the uniflash GUI.  I then generate an "install package" using the Standalone Command Line.  When I run the generated installer (DSLite.bat), it programs the flash, but does not program the MAC Address.  I've tried performing a device unlock before calling dslite.bat, but it still does not work.  I'm using the uniflash GUI "Read MAC Address" to verify the MAC address contents.

DSLite has the MAC address I wish to program in the  user_files/settings/generated.ufsettings file:

type user_files\settings\generated.ufsettings
{"Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe/CORTEX_M4_0":{"FlashMACAddrInput":"00-00-60-01-02-03"}}

when I run dslite I get the following output:

dslite.bat
Executing default command:
> dslite --mode flash -c user_files/configs/msp432e401y.ccxml -l user_files/settings/generated.ufsettings -s VerifyAfterProgramLoad="No verification" -e -f -v "user_files/images/flash1_00-00-01-00.out" "user_files/images/flash2_00-00-01-01.out"

DSLite version 10.1.0.1986

Success

After the programming is complete I use the uniflash GUI's read mac addess operation, and it still reports the MAC address as FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.

Can you please tell me how I can make this work?

    Hi Brian,

    I'm having not able to track down anyone that can help on this specific topic.  What is your status?

    Hi Dennis,

    It's still an issue.  I can do the results manually, but I need to automate the process at some point.  At the very least a bug should be filed against uniflash, and if someone can suggest a workaround for the short term I'd appreciate it.

    Hi Brian,

    The issue is that while a MAC Address is specified via FlashMACAddrInput, the action to actually program the address is not part of the install package zip that was generated. I don't think there is a way to actually specify that "Program MAC Address" button press so that it is generated in the package. 

    You can do the following tweak:

    1. open the dslite.bat file in the package

    2. modify line 14 so that you add this additional option before the executable file:

    -b ProgramMACAddress

    Example:

    set GENERATED_COMMAND=-c user_files/configs/msp432e401y.ccxml -l user_files/settings/generated.ufsettings -s VerifyAfterProgramLoad="No verification" -e -f -v -b ProgramMACAddress "user_files/images/timerled_MSP_EXP432E401Y_tirtos_ccs.out" 

    3. save the file

    Now, if you run dslite, you should see confirmation in the output that the MAC address was flashed:

    Thanks
