My project replaces the bootstrap loader with one for programming via RS232. When I program an MSP430F5522 with the MSP-FET430 UIF, the BSL memory gets properly updated and subsequent re-programming via RS232 can take place. However when I create a hex file (using TI's hex430 application) for use with the MSP430 Flash Gang Programmer, while most of the program is loaded, the BSL section does not appear to be. After initial programming with the MSP430 Flash Gang Programmer, I'm unable to re-program via RS232.
I have the check box "BSL Memory" checked within the MSP430 Flash Gang Programmer application.
Attempting to re-program via RS232 gives me the error: Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write
protected memory.
Within the Gang Programmer's User Manual it discusses the idea of programming the BSL into the device using the GUI via:
"The BSL and the application are combined in one file (.txt or Intel hex format). Set the correct path
in either of the "File Names" fields and press the "Load Image(s)" button."
I was thinking the 430hex application would create this combined hex file for me, but maybe that is not the case?
