MSP430FR5969: BSL scripter not working with lauchpad and MSP-FET

Part Number: MSP430FR5969
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hi,

I am using MSP430FR5969 lauchpad + MSP430FR5969 launchPad + BSL scripter to verify the BSL function but I am facing some issues.

After I type in the command line the BSL-Scripter exited and I can not see any logs.  Here's my script I created based on your example. 

MODE FRxx UART COM49
RX_PASSWORD pass32_wrong.txt
DELAY 2000
RX_PASSWORD pass32_default.txt
RX_DATA_BLOCK msp430fr59xx_1.txt
SET_PC 0xF100

Hardware connection:

MSP-FET ->MSP430FR5969

Pin 2 -> VCC

Pin9 -> GND

Pin 8 -> TST(on J13)

Pin 11 -> RST(on J13)

Pin12 -> RXD(on J13)

Pin14 -> TXD(on J13)

I attached my code image as well. I am not quite sure how to determine the COM number and program counter. Thanks.

Best regards,

Penny

    I have some updates:

    I changed my COM number and Program Counter to the 0x10000 (I found this value from .map file "00010000  main").  Then I ran the script again. I got a lot of ACK error  messages.

    Hi Penny,

    I'll have to reach out to our tools expert on this to get you an answer.

    Hi Penny,

    Are you just using the BSL scripter directly with the Launchpad? You might need a communication bridge.

    The MSP430 needs to go into BSL mode to respond to BSL commands. To set it into BSL mode, you need to send a sequence using the TEST and RESET pins (as described in www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau550).

    The BSL scripter sends a "command" to a communication bridge to generate such sequence, but the Launchpad doesn't have support for this feature, so it's not generating the BSL sequence. As a result, the MSP430 is just not going to BSL and it doesn't respond any BSL commands.

    The BSL Scripter User's Guide () describes some tools which can be used as communication bridges:
