Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out how to make my scripter work with my MSP430F5438. I have an FTDI cable to my PC via USB and have its RX and TX lines going to P1.1 and P1.2 which are respectively the BSL's default UART pins as well as the ground from the FTDI wire hooked up to the ground of the MSP430F5438 (For reference, I am using the msp5438STK by Olimex).
Here is a look at my script:
bsl_script_1.txt
MODE 543x_family UART 9600 COM26
CHANGE_BAUD_RATE 9600
RX_PASSWORD bsl_pass.txt
MASS_ERASE
TX_BSL_VERSION
REBOOT_RESET
as well as my bsl_pass.txt
@FFF0
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
q
using my script, i get the following message:
Port 26 is the port of my FTDI cable.
Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.
I currently also have the MSP-FET, however I cannot seem to get that to work at all. I would receive the same message on that one as well. Based on previous forum posts, I cannot find my MSPApplication UART from device manager and can only see MSP-FET430UIF - CDC (COM25)
Thank you for taking your time in reading this post.

I want to use your modified scripter, however I am looking at your read me and it states "Scripter will directly generate the hardware invoke pattern on the adapter's DTR and RTS lines, which should be connected to the target's /Reset and TEST pins, respectively." My FTDI cable only has one sort of as seen here:
Would I just connect the DTR/RTC single wire to both reset and the test pin?
Thank you for your time as always.
No, that won't work. I don't believe the cable will work at all. You would need both DTR (for /Reset) and RTS (for Test), and the FTDI cables just don't provide that You would need a module like this one:
