MSP430F5438: Using BSL Scripter with MSP430F5438 UART

Part Number: MSP430F5438
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

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

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.

Nick
