Hello.

I have a question about USB BSL command.

I am using USB BSL to update firmware on MSP430F5524 but sometimes I want to read data in flash memory.

If I want to read data in flash memory while updating firmware using USB BSL,is there any command I can use?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    There is a command to read data from the device using the BSL. The BSL commands can seems little confusing, but if you want to read data from the MSP430 using BSL, you need to send the TX Data Block command. Think of it as the Host (Your PC or embedded device) telling the Slave (MSP430) what to do. Please see section 3.5 BSL Core Command Structure in the MSP430 FLASH BSL User Guide ( http://www.ti.com/lit/slau319 ) for more information.

    Hello Wayne,

    If you are using the MSP430Flasher to download FW to BSL there are couple of commands you can use to read data from command line in addition to what  Jace H indicated above:

    > MSP430Flasher.exe - n MSP430F5529 -r [name_of_output_text_file.txt, 0x2500-0x2550]

    For more details you can also look at the user guide for MSP430Flasher, SLAU654d.pdf.

    Regards,

    Arthi
