CCS/MSP-EXP432E401Y: Erase main flash for boot loader

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am trying to follow this example to be able to upload an application through ethernet to my device MSP-EXP432401y:

I am having an issue in step No. 1 of Task 4. It's required to have a completely erased Flash memory. I am trying to find out how to erase the flash by not having to debug an application. I google searched and I found the Uniflash application, but the flash erase is not supported for MSP-432. What other options I have to do this?

Thanks!

Hello Oscar,

I am trying to find out how to use this feature (completely erase Flash memory) on Uniflash.

In the mean time you could use CCS to do this same task by following the steps below:
* Launch CCS
* Import any example from the SimpleLink MSP432E4 SDK
* Click on the debug icon.
* Once CCS enters Debug Mode, click on "Scripts->default->MSP432E4_MASS_ERASE"

You could use CCS or Uniflash to check the contents of the Flash to confirm that it's been erased.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Sai
