Hello,

I receive an error during programming MSP430FR5964 with MSP-FET tool used with MSP430Flasher:

My password configuration:

/*
 * jtag_password.c
 *
 */
#include <stdint.h>
/* Code protection feature*/
#pragma RETAIN(JTAG_signatures)
#pragma DATA_SECTION(JTAG_signatures, ".jtagsignature")
const uint16_t JTAG_signatures[] = {0xAAAA, 0x0002};

#pragma RETAIN(JTAG_password)
#pragma DATA_SECTION(JTAG_password, ".jtagpassword")
const uint8_t JTAG_password[] = {0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11 };

 Any ideas?

    Hi Mateusz,

    With the JTAG password added, is the code programmed successfully? You can check this by watching whether the programmed chip run well as expected.

    Hi Collins,

    yes, device is programmed and verified successfully in both cases. 

    Edit:

    When I program device with password set and NO_ERASE option there is no given error:

    MSP430Flasher.exe -n MSP430FR5964 -j fast -w password.txt -p 0x11111111 -e NO_ERASE

    Also I can read without any error MCU with password set

    Hello,

    It seems that MSPFlasher has problem a problem with programming with verification secured FRAM devices. Can anyone confirm or deny it?

    Hi Mateusz,

    The error report happens when the host tries to hold the device via JTAG while the JTAG interface has been locked in the code, so it's normal warning and the code has been successfully programmed.

    Thank you for explanation. Unfortunately MSPFlasher exits with error code, so my script gets information that there is problem with the device programming. Error code is 10. I can omit this particular error code, but I am not sure, that this error code can occur only fot this one situation.

    Hi Mateusz,

    I can understand your concern; this false warning should not appear in this scenario, I will feedback this to the software development team. Thanks!

    Hi Mateusz,

    I have't got any feedback from you in last days, so I assume your problem has been resolved. If not, just post a reply below (or create a new thread if the thread has locked due to time-out) , thanks a lot!
