hola all

I am newbie in this world of microcontrollers :(

i have a MSP430F169 chip and the code image that needs to be burn in it in *.d43 format

Kindly tell me how to burn the code :( in MSP430F169 - i hve no clues

Kindly tell me the steps to follow and what hardware and software are required

Waiting for help n reply

    IAR does write these files. Usually, tehy are the result of an IAR compilation process and used for emulating, or debugging (and therefor writing to the MSP).

    If you don't have the source project and just the file, you can try the free/evaluation version of FET-Pro430 from Elprotronic Inc. It can write .d43 files, but does not do debugging. You still need IAR installed as it come swith the necessary drivers to access your FET (Flash Emulation Tool) that is required to write teh MSP in-circuit.

    If you have a bare MSP processor (no board), you'll need some circuitry to put it in. The demo boards usually have a proper socket. Or you'll need a GANG-Programmer (with several sockets).

    If the MSP is already soldered onto a PCB, this PCB should normally have a 14-pin connector for the FET (or the 10-pin variant).

    It is also possible to write MSPs using the BootStrapLoader (BSL). It requires a serial port including RTS/CTS and CTR/DSR, reduced down to 3V signal level and connected to four of the MSPs port pins.

    For more details you should be a little more detailed with what you have in hands.
