Gang 430 wrapper DLLs

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-GANG

I am trying to use the new programmer with an older app that I wrote for the old 430 programmer.  The docs indicate that I can use the wrapper DLLs and it should work however I am getting an error when I try to read the memory from the device.  I am calling the GangReadTarget API and I am getting code 63 back.  I have looked everywhere in the documentation and I cannot find any error codes for the new Programmer stuff to indicate what the error means.  The old docs only show codes up to 53 so thats no help.

I am using versions 1.0.8 and 1.57.0 of the DLLs

Also, I have written this burn utility for our hardware in visual studio 2008 and would really like to see some examples using the new DLL in Visual Studio .net and not c or c++.

    Hello Kevin,

    you can use the GetErrorString function to get an error string for that error number (Error 63: Target not open).The programmer doesn't know the microcontroller you are using, so you have to load an dummy image first.

    At the moment I also want to use the new programmer with existing software (c#), but have unfortunately some problems. Have you already tried to write to info memory? Looks like the GangProgramTarget function isn't working anymore.

    Regards

    Sebastian

    I am unable to do just about anythign with the wriapper DLLs.  nothing works when trying to talk with the targets.  I can load the image into the programmer but as soon as I try to burn it to the target i get an error "target not accessable". any call I make that tries to talk with the target gives the same error.  I get the same problem trying to use the sample apps that come with it.  They give the same error so its not my code that is messed up.  I am starting to think that the wiring configuraion in the ribbon cable has changed and its not able to talk with the targets.

    I have no problems with wiring - the same cables for MSP-GANG430 and MSP-GANG. Have you checked if the image is loaded correctly? Sometimes i have to turn on Vcc manually...espacially before reading the target memory.
