Hi
We are currently working on an MSP430F6779 device and we want to add a custom BSL. I have taken the example projects for the MSP430F5438A device and changed it so the target is our microprocessor.
I do have conflicting information though, in the 'Creating a Custom Flash-Based Bootstrap Loader (BSL)' manual, it states that I need to remove the INFOx areas by commenting them out and adding a BSL area from 0x1000 for length 0x00FE, but for our processor, these areas do not conflict and adding this does not correspond to the example projects, so all I have done so far is used the linker command file that came with the example project for a custom BSL and change the target to my device. The BSL area is broken up into various other areas of memory too:
ZAREA_MEM : origin = 0x1000, length = 0x0010
BSL430_VersionM : origin = 0x1010, length = 0x0004
ZAREA_CODE_MEM : origin = 0x1014, length = 0x0050
FLASH : origin = 0x1064, length = 0x078C
BSLSIG_MEM : origin = 0x17F0, length = 0x0010
When I use the linker from the example, I get the following errors on trying to flash/debug:
MSP430: File Loader: Verification failed: Values at address 0x0000000000001000 do not match Please verify target memory and memory map.
MSP430: GEL: File: C:\_work\CCS_Projects_61\CUSTOM_BSL\BSL\BSL.out: a data verification error occurred, file load failed.
I assume this is because the ZAREA_MEM in the linker for the 5438A and the areas specified for the my device does not have this there. What changes do I need to do in order to flash the BSL code from the example, onto my MSP430F6779 processor?
Thanks.
