MSP-GANG: MSP-gang can not program MSPM0L1105

Hello GR,

1). Please check whether the firmware of your MSP-GANG is the latest version. You can download the latest version from:

MSP-GANG-SOFTWARE Software programming tool | TI.com

2). Please provide the completed screenshot of the MSP-GANG GUI interface when it reports the ERROR58

3). Did you try to download using CCS and Uniflash, I want to confirm whether they will also report error when you use CCS and Uniflash.

Best Regards,

Janz Bai

Hello Janz,

Yes, If use CCS with XDS110, it was sucess to write to mcu the program that have issue if use with MSP-GANG.

Hello GR,

Wait for your results. And if I can't resolve it on my side, I can send this issue to my software team colleague who is responsible for MSP-GANG. He is in Thanksgiving Holiday, and maybe reply to me later.

Best Regards,

Janz Bai

Hello Janz,

Thanks for your support.

I understand holiday.

I attach screenshot of this issue.

And this GANG programer often use for flashing MSP430. (GANG hardware version is 1.05)

It does not have any issue, So It should not have issue of hardware.

Hello GR,

I have sent this post to my software team colleague. Please wait his response next week.

Hello GR,

I just want to confirm that:

1). You said that customer use MSPM0L1105, but in the screenshot, it shows the MSPM0G1105. Please check and make sure that the MCU you used and chosen on GANG are the same. 

2). Can you let customer do below tests and tell me the results:

• Use the latest version Uniflash to download the code file (with WWDT) and check whether it can be successful.
• Do factory reset firstly, and then download the code file (with WWDT) through MSP-GANG and check whether it can be successful;
• If using Uniflash to download can be successful, after that you can try to download the same code file (with WWDT) and check whether it can be successful

Please tell me the results, it can help my colleague to find out the root cause.

Best Regards,

Janz Bai

Hello Janz,

I am sorry, it was my typo.

Correct is MSPM0G1105.

My customer try to write firmware that have issue in MSP-GANG with XDS110+Uniflash, Result was no issue. Sucessfully to write.

Janz Bai said:

If MCU was factory status, MSP-GANG could write firmware (with WWDT) sucessfully.

But After programed, If try re-write, it have issue.

Janz Bai said:

If using Uniflash to download can be successful, after that you can try to download the same code file (with WWDT) and check whether it can be successful

I will check to customer.

Hello GR,

Your information is important. Thanks. And to further confirm:

1). You said "But After programed, If try re-write, it have issue.", re-write the same code file (with WWDT) using GANG?

2). You can let customer do this (the same meaning of the test I mentioned in last response):

• use Uniflash to download customer file (with WWDT) firstly ——> Then use GANG to download the same file ——> After that, use GANG to download the same file again ——> check the download results;
• Use Uniflash to download another file (any one ok, generated by other project) firstly ——> Then use GANG to download the customer file (with WWDT) ——>check the download results;
• Use Uniflash to download another file (any one ok, generated by other project) firstly ——> Then use GANG to download the same file ——>check the download results;
•  Use Uniflash to download the customer file (with WWDT) firstly ——> Then use GANG to download another file (any one ok, generated by other project)

Because I have another GANG case which is similar like this customer's, so I want to confirm whether these two case can be discussed and resolved together. So please help to check the results of above tests,

Best Regards,

Janz Bai

Hello GR,

Thank you for your patience, I'm currently looking at this and will get back to you soon.

Would it be possible for you to provide me with a file that I could use to program and replicate the scenario?

From my perspective it looks like some modifications to the SWD process is required to ensure that entry is possible.

Thank you,

Henry  Nguyen

Hello Janz, Henry,

Thanks for your support.

I will report the results of the customer test as soon as i know them.

The program have issue is customer's final(production version) firmware.

So It is difficult to send external of customer, but I will negosiate if there is no another way.

First, please wait the test result in customer.

Do you say edit MSPM0 side firmware? or MSP-GANG side firmware?

Best regards,

GR

Hello GR,

Henry will reply to you soon after he confirm it.

Hello Janz,

My customer's test result is below,

1). You said "But After programed, If try re-write, it have issue.", re-write the same code file (with WWDT) using GANG?

Yes, but Another code was same.

Janz Bai said:

use Uniflash to download customer file (with WWDT) firstly ——> Then use GANG to download the same file ——> After that, use GANG to download the same file again ——> check the download results;

2nd step that do download with GANG has issue of  I paseed screenshot before.

This was sucessfull to download with GANG.

Janz Bai said:

This was sucessfull to download with GANG.

2nd step that do download with GANG has issue of  I paseed screenshot before.

And additional information

•  Use Uniflash to download the customer file (with WWDT) firstly ——> Then use Uniflash to download the customer file (with WWDT)

This was sucessfully.

So customer's probrem occord in only download useing MSP-GANG to the MCU that has customer's firmware(with WWDT).

GR

Hello GR,

Thanks for your information. In fact, my colleague Henry has contacted with Elctronic engineer and they need more time to update the MSP-GANG. Please wait.

Janz Bai

Hello Janz,

Thanks for reply.

I understand. I will wait for solution.

Hello GR,

You are welcome, Henry will help to find out a workaround in a few days. After that, you can let customer to try to test the latest workaround.
