Error using Command Line Programmer

Hi Robert,

Can you show us what command you used to call the MSP430Flasher? This seems like it had trouble reading your file. It also looks like maybe your filename is a little weird - it looks like it says :"560A22=V01.07.00.txt " I'm wondering if that '=' character could be what is causing this to break.

Would it be possible to change the file name and see if this helps? If not, please post back showing the command you used to call the flasher, and your code file if it is something you can share.

Regards,
Katie

Hi Katie,Robert:

Did you manged to solve your problem? I'm having similar issue when programming BSL.

I'm using following command:

C:\ti\MSP430Flasher_1.3.1>MSP430Flasher -n MSP430F5510 -w C:\ti\MSP430Flasher_1.3.1\output.txt -v -z [VCC] (i USB) (-e ERASE_ALL)

Thanks is advance.

Hi Andrew,

I never heard more from Robert so I don't know if my post helped him out or not.

It looks like you are calling flasher with these options:
-n MSP430F5510 -w C:\ti\MSP430Flasher_1.3.1\output.txt -v -z [VCC] (i USB) (-e ERASE_ALL)
This would mean you are trying to write the file output.txt located in C:\ti\MSP430Flasher_1.3.1 into the F5510 device. Do you have a file named output.txt at that location? The error message you are getting sounds like maybe it is not finding that file or cannot access it.

You also might want to try downloading and trying the latest version of MSP430Flasher here: www.ti.com/.../msp430-flasher It looks like we are all the way up to 1.3.9 now so there have been a lot of fixes and improvements since 1.3.1.

Regards,
Katie
