Upload code from MSP430 using CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2619

I messed up.  I was on the road and made some changes to my code and programmed my part.  I didn't back up the source code and have since made some more changes. 

I need to test the changes, but also need to be able to go back to the version of code currently running (The version I didn't back up).

Is there anyway to upload the program out of a MSP430F2619 using Code Composer Studio Version: 5.3.0.00090, and MSP-FET430IF?

I've searched the menu, and help and can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Is it even possible?

Thanks

    No. You can read memory content with the memory view, but IIRC, there's no way saving it to a file. The free Elprotronics software Lite FET-Pro430 has this feature.

    However, you can only download the plain binary instructions from the MSP. No function names, no variable names, no register names, no debug info. Useful for cloning, but definitely not for restoring the original C source.

  • Thanks - I found the Elprotronics software yesterday.  It works for what I need.
