MSP430F6779A: How to use built in bootloader provided by TI to program msp430f6779a using serial communication

Part Number: MSP430F6779A

Hi everyone,

i want to use the built in bootloader provided by ti to program my device using serial communication.. i don't want to develop any custom bootloader because i had already tried these things but not succeeded because i am unable to run bsl scripter on my system may be there is not any version compatible for 32bit systems. i need help to make use of built in bootloader to program my device....>>>>

thanks and regards,

Sumit

  • Hi Sumit,

    It appears that you are already getting extensive support from , , and regarding this issue: e2e.ti.com/.../589091

    It sounds like your problem now focuses on host BSL programming tools available for Windows XP systems (32 bit is not a concern) and not the on-chip BSL application program, correct?

  • Hi Ryan,

    of course 32 bit is the concern because till now i didn't got any update that the tool is not supported in windows 32bit or it is only creating issue in windows xp...but whatever i am not getting any BSL programming tools for my host system which is 32 bit windows xp, that's why i want to jump to on-chip bsl program .....please help if you have any idea.....

    thanks,,

    Sumit

  • Hello Sumit,

    If you do not wish to use a custom BSL or BSL-Scripter tool to program the on-chip BSL then you will need to develop your own host application that controls either the RST/TEST entry sequence or somehow instructs the end application to jump to 0x1000 for BSL invocation. A UART driver must then communicate using the protocol defined in Section 3 of SLAU319 to send commands and data through the BSL.

    Regards,
    Ryan
