Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5338

Hello 

I am using ccs5.5.0 and msp430f5338 is on my target board.

I want to erase existing code of  flash.

How can i do this with the CCS?

In IAR work bench there is option of erase flash. But in CSS I  couldnt find such option .

Thanks

Manish

    Normally, flash is erased right before writing something new to it. So there is no need to have a separate erase option in a development system. (an erased MSP doesn't do anything useful, so it makes not much sense).

    However, if you really just want to erase an MSP without writing something new to it, then you can use the free elprotronic tool, where the steps of erase, program and verify can be done separately on a mouse click.

    Unfortunately, neither CCS5.5 nor the latest CCS6.0 have an option to erase flash selectable from the menu.

    As Jens-Michael pointed out, use FET-Pro430 Lite Software, it is very handy and allows to do many things, read/write any area in flash, update BSL, etc. It is free from http://www.elprotronic.com/download.html
