MSP430F67471: MSPFlasher speedup possible ?

Part Number: MSP430F67471
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-GANG, UNIFLASH

Hi MSP team!

Cann you look at my customers request:


We currently have to update the boot loader of our product and use the MSPFlasher_1.3.20 and .txt files for this purpose.
Since we have some data in the flash that is important for the calibration of the PCB, we can only do this with sectorerase.

MSPFlasher_1.3.20\\MSP430Flasher.exe -e ERASE_SEGMENT -w "part4.txt" -v -n MSP430F67471

Unfortunately, the entire flash process then takes more than 2 minutes.
Since we have to work with a needle adapter, we unfortunately cannot parallelize as required to flash the required approx. 3000 PCBs.

Is there a way to speed things up? Maybe a newer version of the flasher or (hidden) settings?

BTW: We use die.txt files, because you cannot use partial areas in .hex files. That seems to be a bug in the flasher? Can you say something about this?

    DJ,

    If you want to parallelize you really should be using MSP-GANG as its built for production programming and has the fastest programming time. MSP430Flasher is not really supported anymore and UNIFLASH is recommended instead if going this route.
