    Hello,

    Please see Section 6.5 of the MSP-GANG UserGuide (text below).

    Question: What are possible reasons for the part to fail Verify step?
    Answer: If the part was programmed and verified in the GO step, and after the second time the Verify step
    failed, then in most cases the firmware is modifying flash contents when running for the first time. Usually
    the Info memory is modified in that case. Ask your software team if the firmware downloaded to the MCU
    is modifying the flash after the first run. If that is the case, then the firmware should be modified to contain
    only unmodified contents in the code file. To compare the code file contents and flash data (if modified),
    use this option from the pulldown menu:
    • View > Compare Code File and Flash Data

    Have you been able to verify the loaded code file and Flash data are the same?

    Hi,

    Still the error exists, when we do self test we are getting "Image flash access "-Error.

    Hello,

    I've spoken to the MSP-GANG expert form ELprotronic. This issue seems to be that the flash ID was no detected. In the past flash IDs were from 1-2, but recent (1+ year ago) hardware changes have expanded the flash ids to 1-3. More than likely, you have newer MSP-GNAg HW with older SW that is seeing a mismatch as the older SW doesn't recognize the newer Serial Flash ID. Please download the newest MSP-GANG SW and run the test again to see if the issue persists.
