Hi , I have a code that I downloaded to a board a wile ago, and I need to do more boards , however the code that I have now seens not to work as the old board , so I need to upload from the old MSP430 and compare than, to see if by mistake I altered  the code I have now. Does anyone knows how to do that with IAR ??

Thanks

    Hello,

    You can certainly read the code that is on your 'old' MSP430 without downloading new code to it.

    If you are using IAR; use the 'Debug without Downloading' button to see the source code that is currently on the device.

    If you need to read out the code I would recommend using the free Elprotronic tool FETPRO 430 with the MSP FET 430 UIF.

    The tool has a Read/Copy option that gives you the source code in hex format.

    Regards,

    Priya

    (1) It is very important that you use "Debug WITHOUT Downloading". Do not use "Download and Debug"

    (2) You will not be able to see the source code that is currently on the device. You can only see what is currently in the Flash or the Disassembled code.

    (3) At that point, you can use [Debug] => [Memory] => [Save] to save the current Flash in msp430-txt format (or other format). Elprotronic can do that too.
