MSP432E401Y: Write .bin file into SPI flash

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Tool/software:

Hello Team,

I'm using MSP432E401Y and i need to flash an FPGA via SPI. For which i need to write the bin file into MT25QL128ABA1ESE, so the SPI flash will program the FPGA. I'm not sure how to process the received file and send large chunks of data into SPI flash using Freescale SPI format only(SSI0Fss,SSI0Clk,SSI0Tx,SSI0Rx).

It would be great if you can share me any example projects/ procedure.

Thanks.

Hi,

Here you can find the SPI Flash example for MSP432E.

Thanks Charles. I had a look into it, I hope it helps.

Via ethernet the firmware has to be flashed for MSP432E401Y in our custom board. We also have the TM4C XDS110 chip in the board.

I had a look through some sources in ti. In UNIFLASH tool there is a option as Generate Standalone Command Line Package. But i think this requires USB only.

Can you please suggest some methods i can use to flash the microcontroller with ethernet?

Hi,

Please refer to the BSL bootloader app note for details. https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau746. You can use the BSL Scripter to download your firmware via Ethernet to MSP432E. Once you download BSL Scripter, you can find examples in C:\ti\BSL-Scripter\ScriptExampleWindows\E4xx_ethernet

Hello,

I tried to flash the MSP-EXP432E401Y micro-controller with BSL Scripter via ethernet.

Following the procedure mentioned in resource explorer, I have connected one ethernet cable from launchpad to my PC and one LAN cable from company's internal network to my PC.

LOG
MODE E4xx Ethernet MAC=70:ff:76:1c:f2:02 IPClient=192.168.225.67 IPServer=192.168.225.65
        Local IP Address is given in the parameter
        Local IP Address of Host: 192.168.225.65
        Waiting for BOOTP request!

        Waiting for BOOTP request!
        Waiting for BOOTP request!
        [ERROR_MESSAGE]No BOOTP request received, exit the BSL-Scripter!

But i could see a BOOTP request from microcontroller in wireshark

I also suspect if it is a firewall related issue, but i'm not supposed to disable the firewall

Can you please tell what should be done to make it work?
