Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5659

Hello,

I am planning to use USB BSL for MSP430F5659, i want to know how firmware upgrade is done? what is the mechanism to distinguish between main application start and firmware upgrade activity on power-up ?

Nitesh

  • TI USB BSL is open source slau319 MSP430 Programming With the Bootloader (www.ti.com/lit/slau319).

    There is boot code that after power up / reset checking PUR pin and 0FFFFh location. If PUR pin is high or at address 0FFFFh is word 0FFFFh, device entering to BSL mode.

    Do you mean you want to know how to load object code to a device?

    Or, do you mean you want to know how to improve/enhance/expend the capability of an existing firmware?
