MSP430F5329: Unable to flash program in to MSP430F5329 via UART

Part Number: MSP430F5329

Hi All,

I am trying to flash program through UART in to MSP430F5329.  

getting Error is 

MSP430: Can't Initialize Target CPU: **Error**: Serial Communication failed at port: COM9, baud rate:9600!   To use serial monitor, please ensure the following prerequisites are satisfied:  1. Make sure the cable is plugged into both the target and the host on the right COM port.  2. Make sure a compatible target side serial monitor is loaded and running on the target device.

Go through the related forums but not able to flash the program.

1. In target configuration ----> Basic options change the connection type UART to TI MSP430USB1[Default] also getting same error.

2. In target configuration---->advance options changed the comport 65 to what ever i am using(COM 9)also getting same Error.

Forgot to mention how am flashing program

Using USB to UART converter in between of PC  and MSP430 controller. Uart Converter Tx is connecting to MSP430 Rx pin and  Rx pin is connecting to Tx pin.

where i am mistaking, please help me.  

  • Hi Mahdhu,

    The only way to program a MSP430F5329 device through a UART serial interface is through the BSL, this can be accomplished using the BSL-Scripter software tool, a binary image of the application you want to program, and the connections provided in Table 6 of the Datasheet. CCS will only be able to program your device using a JTAG or SBW connection but can otherwise generate the TI/Hex .txt binary image you require.

    Regards,
