MSP430F5328: MSP430F5328

Rajasekar Muthusamy

Part Number: MSP430F5328

I am using MSP430F5328 IAR and i want to implement OTA firmware update and my current BSL is inactive directly starts from Main ( reset Int Vector and jump to main) and i want to make my custom boot loader with the option to dual image in order to safe guard the image.

I do have external Flash and Kindly suggest me the way i can do this Either using internal boot loader BSL or external. My code size is 120KB.

I want to update from server side and client is the device where my firmware MSP430 resides.

Can you refer me the document or code sample to go through?

Hi Rajesekar,

I have several resources for you that should be helpful:

Below is a link to an app note describing the implementation of Flash bootloaders. This mentions OTA implementation and dual image validation. This BSL implementation resides in main memory:
www.ti.com/.../slaa600d.pdf

A link to code examples is also included in the document above, but here is a direct link:
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

Below is an app note describing how to create a custom Flash-based BSL:
www.ti.com/.../slaa450f.pdf

Here is a direct link to custom Flash BSL code examples:
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

Here is also a link to the Flash BSL User's Guide:
www.ti.com/.../slau319x.pdf

All of these resources are taken from our BSL page. Here is a link for reference. When navigating the page, you will want to make sure you are looking at Flash BSL documentation and not FRAM BSL documentation.

As long as you have the 128KB version of the device, either implementation should work (internal or external BSL).

Thanks!
