MSP-GANG430: GangPro-ARM flash memory

Part Number: MSP-GANG430

Hi,

I am using Gang Pro ARM where i upload my firmware file using 'F_AutoProgram()' function from 'GANGPROARM_API' class. Once I upload firmware file I can see file data inside flash block of gang software.

I want to get data from the specific address and change data data. But i am not getting any specific function to do that for C# in  'GANGPROARM_API' class. Can you please suggest any way to get data from flash block

Thanks & regards,

Shraddha K

  • hello,
    I will need to inquire with the tool developers. I will check back in this Friday with any update.

  • Hi Shraddha,

    The GangPro-ARM programmer is not the TI MSP-GANG Programmer. Please send me your email address then we can reply for it - support@elprotronic.com

  • Hello Gregory ,

    my email address - shradha.khandagale@saviantconsulting.com

  • Hello,

    In my project I am currently working on two different hardware devices, MSP-GANG430 and GANG PRO-ARM.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MSP Gang430:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In my first module i was using MSP-GANG430 device. In that module, my requirement was to load firmware file on the GANG Programmer. To accesss 'MSP GANG430' device I used "GANG430.dll" functions with user guide mentioned below:

    technodocbox.com/.../71324740-Msp430-gang-programmer-msp-gang430-user-s-guide.html

    In the user guide mentioned  in the link, there was a function called 'GangLoadImage', which writes data from a file either of type TI-txt or of type Intel-hex(auto-detect) into the MSP-GANG430 programming unit’s image flash memory directly.

    MSP-GANG430:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    GANG PRO-ARM

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now in my second module i am using GangPro-ARM. And want to implement the same functionality of firmware upload. And after file load i need to change some file data 

    at a particular address from flash memory. I am using 'GangProARM-FPAsel.dll' to access this Gang software. I am using user guide 'GangPro-ARM API-DLL User's Guide' downloaded from following link :

    www.elprotronic.com/productdata

    My question is as i mentioned above regarding MSP Gang 430, in Gang Pro ARM, there is no direct function to access flash memory data. What I need to do is :

    1. load file using F_ConfigLoad

    2.Then i need to copy flash memory data to Gang buffer using 'F_Copy_Flash_to_Gang_Buffer'

    3. Then I need to read data from gang buffer using 'F_Get_Byte_from_Gang_Buffer'.

    4. Then only I can edit data present in the gang buffer using 'F_Put_Byte_to_Buffer'.

    4. After an edit, I again need to copy Gang Buffer data to the Flash memory using 'F_Copy_Buffer_to_Flash'.

    I want direct functionality, which can allow me to edit data directly to the flash memory of GANGPro-ARM.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Shradha K
