MSP430FG4618: Using TI-TXT hex files with MSP-GANG programmer

Part Number: MSP430FG4618

I have  generated the hex file from CCS 8.1 version & its being imported in TI Gang programmer but some how tool is not able to detect or decode that file hence not able to flash to controller.

Let me know how should I resolve this issue.

    I think I found the solution for above issue, its seem that programmer does not parse the TI format hex , so you have to generate intel format hex out file to flash it.

    Hello Vikas,

    Thanks for your detailed post. MSP-GANG should handle the TI-TXT files just fine. I would recommend changing your CCS settings to generate the TI-TXT file, which actually has the extension '.txt' even though it's a hex-based file and try using it with MSP-GANG. In CCS, go to your project Properties > Build > MSP430 Hex Utility (if it shows "Disabled", enable it by checking the "Enable MSP430 Hex Utility" box) > Output Format Options (don't check the "Array output format" box) > Output Format drop-down > choose "Output TI-TXT hex format" and then click "Apply and Close". Rebuild your project and you should find the ".txt" hex file under the Debug folder in Project Explorer.
