EK-TM4C1294XL: How to program a code from EK-TM4C1294XL launch pad to factory outlet controller of MSP430G2452

Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2452, ENERGIA, MSP430G2553, MSP-FET

HI,

I have EK-TM4C1294XL launch pad and four MSP430G2452 IC's.  I need to compile with energia IDE and like to upload programme in MSP430G2452 via beard board.

How can I do this?  Do I need any boot loader for MSP430G2452 chip.

Kindly guide me to do this without MSP430G2452 Launchpad.

Regards,

Anbu.

    My friend - are you not asking that your "helpers" here -  trade their (possibly) great time/effort - for your (slight) cost-savings?       Is that a "fair/proper" request?

    Would not your direction of  such request  to the  "energia"  team prove more direct - thus more fruitful?

    Your question is not clear to me. Do you want to use the EK-TM4C1294XL board as a scan controller to program the MSP430G2452? I do not think that is possible, but since I am not an expert on the MSP430 devices, I will notify that team of your question. For Energia questions, it it best to post them on the forum forum.43oh.com/.../

    HI,
    I have MSP430G2452 Microcontroller new chip. I need to Program "MSP430G2452" chip with the help of EK-TM4C1294XL Launch pad. Do I need any boot loader in "MSP430G2452" chip. I am using Energia IDE for programming.

    "How can I do this?"

    3 simple steps:

    1) read the msp430 programming manual;
    2) implement the programming protocol on your launchpad;
    3) write a communications scheme between your launchpad and your host, likely uart;

    Might you have "missed" poster's specific EXCLUSION of the "launchpad?"     (required by 2 of your 3 points)

    HI,

    There is no BSL facility in MSP430G2452 Microcontroller. (Ref attachment)

    "There is no BSL facility in MSP430G2452 Microcontroller."

    that doesn't mean you cannot program it with another device, like the tm4c launchpad you have.

    Hi,

    I don't have launch pad for MSP430G2452 Microcontroller; pls refer image attachment. But I have EK-TM4C1294XL launch pad only.

    What I need to do to burn programme in MSP430G2452 Microcontroller with hex file. [with help of EX-TM4C launch pad]

    Do I need to install any boot loader like in Arduino Atmega328 chip.?

    let's me try it the 3rd time: from the very beginning, I have been suggesting you to use the tm4c launchpad you do have to program the msp430.

    i never talked about the launchpad you do not have.

    hope it helps.

    Hello,

    Let me clear up some things form the MSP430 perspective here. The emulator on the TM4C launchpad cannot program MSP430s as they use completely different emulator/programmer classes (ARM versus MSP430). Typically if you do want to use a TM4C or other host micro controller to program the MSP430, you would just implement the BSL protocol as it is just a very easy protocol over standard UART/I2C. Unfortunately, the exact MSP430 you are using doesn't have a BSL. A similar device, the MSP430G2553, does have BSL by the way. The only other option is for your host MCU to replicate what an MSP-FET or other MSP430 emulator does for standard 4-wire or 2-wire JTAG (Spi-By-Wire JTAG). You could port the MSP430 Replicator code (http://www.ti.com/tool/REP430F ) to your TM4C device to do this. However, this is not recommended as the replicator code can be difficult to use and your port will not be supported. The easier path will be to get an MSP430G2xx Launchpad (www.ti.com/.../MSP-EXP430G2 ) or the MSP-FET (http://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-FET ) to program your MSP430G2452.

    Yes, I need to program msp430G using tm4c1294 launch pad.

    Hello Anbarasu,

    As Jace said, you can either use the MSP430 Replicator code on your TM4C LaunchPad, or you can abandon the TM4C as a programmer and use either the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad or MSP-FET as a programmer. Those are your only options.

    I think people know what you want, and have provided a few ways for you to get there.

    You just need to follow through on your end to get what you want, as nobody else is going to do it for you.  You already have a map. Now you just need to follow the map.
