MSP432E411Y: Custom BSL using UART1 for app updating

Magda Butnaru

Part Number: MSP432E411Y


Hello, 

Our HW comprises a USB to UART bridge (FT234XD). We'd like to connect the bridge's UART output to the MSP432411Y's UART1 port and perform app updating via the bridge. Clearly, a custom bootloader using UARt1 will need to be programmed in flash. Aside from this, how feasible and easy to achieve is this scheme?

Regards, Magda

    Hi,

      I will suggest you first try out the flash-based serial UART bootloader example at C:\ti\simplelink_msp432e4_sdk_4_20_00_12\examples\nortos\MSP_EXP432E401Y\boot_loader\boot_serial_uart_flash. This example uses UART0. However, in the bl_config.h file you can specify other UART instances such as UART1 as the port for bootloading. You will need to change the macros defined in bl_config.h from UART0 to UART1. See below used for UART0.
