    Hi Wei Wu,

    I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do it with the MSP-GANG430 programmer.

    But, you can use the FET-Pro430 software (http://www.elprotronic.com/fetpro430.html) and an MSP-FET430UIF to to the job.

    Kind regards

    thank you, i've tried. but it's not a free software, and my key expired.....

    since i had a GANG430.

    how can i get contact with the designer of MSP-GANG430? i mean, he should write a detail document ,how to use his "example" because the people even in TI can only send customers here.

    Hello Wei Wu,

    i have checked your modified example - and it works well. Why it didn't work on your side? It could be couple of reasons. One most probable is this:

    You image file "remote.txt" writes 0x00 to 0x1000 location, and the function after it can not change the value. The function GangProgramTarget() only writes and doesn't erase the Flash. Thus to have correct results you have to insure the location you want to write to is 0xFF before (erased).

    You are asking about description of the GangProgramTarget() function? This is in the GANG430 User's Guide.pdf. It is installed with GANG430 installation.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Regards,
    Rosty

    Thanks for your reply, dear Rostyslav Stolyar.

     

    yes, i works when i click the start button on my computer. 

    but why it doesn't work when i push the start button on the programmer tool? 

     

    so my question is, whether it can be finished without a computer?

    Dear Wei Wu,

    here is the answer on your question:

    serializing (or individual target programming) doesn't work in stand alone mode. For this functionality the PC or other RS-232 host is required.

    Does it have to be a certain serial number or will any do?

    Most newer MSPs have a TLV structure that contains wafer/lot nr and x/y position of wafer. So each processor already has its own unique number. Just use it.
