BSL Mass Erase on MSP432 using BSL_Scripter

Jim Patten

Hello,

I have couple questions regarding the BSL and BSL_Scripter...

I'm performing a MASS_ERASE on the TI Launchpad Dev Kit using the BSL_Scripter.exe program furnished by TI. All's well as shown here:

I then use the Elprotronics tool to verify and notice the Flash Boot-Override Mailbox is not erased. Is there something I need to do when I setup my BOM (Boot Override Mailbox) or is this just a limitation of the BSL_Scripter and using the MASS_ERASE command?

Here is a diagram from the Elprotronics tool. Notice the address starting at 0x0020000 has data:

Thanks,

-Jim

Hi Jim,

According to the SLAU622 : http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau622b/slau622b.pdf chapter 5.36 Mass Erase > Description All code flash in the MSP432 is erased except for areas defined as IP protected secure zones. This function does not erase Information Memory and RAM.

I tried to program the BOM several time, and we can erase the info memory with: ERASE_SEGMENT_32 0x200000

But i think you have to unlock the BSL before execute the ERASE_SEGMENT_32 because it is password protected.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Fatma
