BSL Sample code

Jim Patten
Expert 1060 points

I'm trying to use IAR and build the project "Custom BSL Zip File\Released BSL Source\MSP430F543xA 00.05.04.03"

I get the following error when building just the file:  Fatal Error[e72]: Segment ZAREA must be defined in a segment definition option (-Z, -b or -P)

And I get the following error when building everything:

Fatal Error[e72]: Segment BSL430_VERSION_API must be defined in a segment definition option (-Z, -b or -P) Error while running Linker

 

 

This only happens when the project is setup for "Release".  When building the "Debug" version, there are no errors.  But I need the Released version for production.

Please shed some light on this

Thanks,

-Jim

    I think by using the "lnk430F5438_BSL_AREA.xcl" file in the \config directory did the trick.  But I'm curious as to how the BSL430_Low_Level_Init.s43 and the other C files tie together.  Can anyone help on that?  I assume when the program gets built, BSL_Entry_JMP is the first instruction.  But how does main() get called from this .S43 file?

    Thanks,

    -Jim

    More questions on the Sample code and namely, AppNote SLAA450.  Paragraph 3.1 under Peripheral Interface.  What do you mean by the last sentence regarding a RAM based interrupt vector?  Can you give me an example?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I didn't use Release/Debug for BSL development.  Basically, those options are there to simply application code development... automatic switching of project options such as optimizations and debug symbol includes, etc..

     

    What I have done, is set all options to how I want them for the 'debug' setting.  Switching to 'Release' loads in a bunch of options I never set... which is why you get that error, because it's now trying to use the device's default linker command file, which doesn't define the Z-area.


    So, have no fear in using 'Debug' as that's the correct final output.
