Automatic Verify FLASH after programming

Mykro Std

Hi, I have suspection to corrupted FLASH at CC430, and I want to verify flash with CCS 5.2/5.3. I have FET JTAG programmer. I see verify routines described in guide http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau320i/slau320i.pdf , but it is need to implement verify funtions into own code.

How verify memory as automatic proces after flashing ? Some option in CCS ? Thanks

You may want to take a look at the Wiki here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_Flasher_-_Command_Line_Programmer

It contains reference to a downloadable package that contains source code for the command line programmer. I think it would be a good starting point for what you are looking for.

yes this is probably good tool, but external steps need to do apart from CCS . In CCS 5.3 is at "Run" - Load program - Verify program that function. It works probably OK, but there is no report where isprogram code corrupted (address locations). THanks

IIRC, the elprotronic tool provides detailed information about where it got wrong. It even allows reading content back from MSP for comparison.

For amateur project it is unrentabile ... so conclusion is that must be enough information OK or NOT OK (from CCS 5.3)...

My question is based on experience that after loading code, the "table values" in code (array of some values) was different from data stored in flash (see in memory browser after flashing). I update reflash FW in FET debugger, reinstal CCS and now it works OK - I think. It was like a corrupted FLASH, but reinstall of SW solve it .. strange.....
