UNIFLASH: Command Line Interface - Calculate Checksum

MSP430G2403: Uniflash CLI Checksum

Part Number: MSP430G2403
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

Hi team, 

I would like to be able to verify the checksum and I tried finding it in the GUI but cannot find it.  I then found an old post online in the TI forum how to find it through the command line interface using the package that I exported from the GUI. However, it looks like I have something wrong. Can you try to help with this? 

Let me know if there is more info that you need or just tell me how to find the checksum in the GUI if you know how to. I included the error that I am getting below:

Best,

    I went through the TI website and found an older version that explicitly stated that my version of the MSP430 was supported so I downloaded that version of UniFlash (7.2.0), and then I tried running the same command and got the following. Perhaps this will shed a little light:

    The old post you referred is regarding a Tiva device. Please note that the CLI flash operations available can vary depending on the device. If you run:

    > dslite --config=C:\Temp\uniflash_windows_1\user_files\configs\MSP430G2403.ccxml -p

    What options do you see available? For my MSP430G2x LaunchPad, I only see one operation available: "Erase"

    The -b option only supports whatever operations is available from the -p option.

    As for UniFlash 7.2, the behavior is the same as 9.3. The error you see is something different, it is some caching issue. You can try running:

    <UNIFLASH INSTALL DIR>\deskdb\content\TICloudAgent\win\ccs_base\common\bin\fsclean.bat

    That will clear the cache.

    However, 7.2 will simply give you the same results as 9.3.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the information and for clarifying we'd see the same thing across versions. I guess this doesn't answer the initial question unfortunately. 

    How are we able to verify the checksum whether through the CLI or GUI? We're still looking into this but would appreciate any advice you can share.

    Best,

    Luke

    I will bring this thread to the attention of the device experts.

    Hi Luke,
    I'll talk with my software team and see if there's any information I can share with you on this.

    Hi Luke,
    It seems there might not be a command option for the checksum. My best recommendation will be to create a program to calculate the checksum outside Uniflash.
