Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPBSL

Hi,

I am working with msp430f6736, i want to run bootloader on msp so I worked on BSL_Scripter and make script file with these commands:

LOG
MODE 6xx_family COM6
MASS_ERASE
DELAY 2000
RX_DATA_BLOCK Blinkingled2.txt

when i run BSL_Scripter, it return "DONE" for first two commands in addition to fourth command, but return "FAIL" with other commands ,is there any password i supposed to use to unlock protection of the bootloader ,if there what is it exactly in case using msp430f6736?

what is the step that i should follow in this case to get bootloader programming with my application?

I wait your response.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mohamed,

Did you follow the guide of BSL_Scripter for your script file?
www.ti.com/.../slau655f.pdf

Also, could you share me the returned message of BSL_Scripter for your script running?

I would suggest you to go through the BSL User's Guide(www.ti.com/.../slau319w.pdf) especially for the section 3.6 BSL Security to confirm if you were running the BSL command properly.

Try this:

MODE 6xx UART COM6

slau655 says the PROtOCOL (UART in this case) is mandatory.

I tried it but the result was ERROR

I think it means error in command itself.

Hi Wei,

Yes, I follow the guide typically for my script file.

the following message is revealed

LOG Hit Uknown Command
Initializing Mode: 6xx COM: COM6 DONE
Mass Erase: FAIL<ee>
RX Password: FAIL<ee>
Waiting 2000 milliseconds: DONE
RX Password: FAIL<ee>
writing Blinkingled2.txt to device: FAIL writing data block starting at 4000

Noted i added two commands for RX password.

already i revised slau319w.pdf before running the script and it is required a password to unprotect the commands but i can't find this password

i hope we solve this issue together and thanks for your cooperation.
