CCS/MSP-EXP432E401Y: Is there a simple procedure to use MSP-BSL programmer "BSL Rocket" to flash firmware image to the MSP-EXP432E401Y

long tran

Part Number: MSP-EXP432E401Y

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

The MSP-EXP432E401Y development board has a BSL connector to connect the MSP-BSL programmer (also called BSL Rocket) for
the purpose of downloading the firmware to the flash of the MSP432E4.

I have read many documents trying to figure out the procedure to use the BSL Rocket for programming the flash of the MSP432E4, but I could not figure out what I need to do.

Questions:

- It seemed to me that TI does not provide software tools to easily allow the user to flash the MSP432E4 using the the BSL Rocket programmer.
Is TI expected that the users need to develop the tools themselves for that purpose? If so, please advice me the steps that I need to do to develop the tools..
If not, show me the procedure how I easily use the BSL Rocket programmer for flashing the MSP432E.

Thank you very much.

Hi Long,

there is a detailed documentation in the TI Resource Explorer TIREX

http://dev.ti.com/tirex/#/?link=Software%2FSimpleLink%20MSP432E4%20SDK%2FSimpleLink%20Academy%2FBoot%20Loaders%2FMSP432E4%20Bootloaders

May you can find the missing answers there.

Regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I have been able to flash the uart and spi boot loader using the MSP-BSL programmer. The main problem I had was: the flash was not clear prior to executing BSL-Scriper.exe.
This resolved my issue
Thank you.

Long
