Hi,
I have EVM430-F6779 board with MSP430-F67791A chip and having MSP-FET
I want to flash default IAR code HEX into MSP430-F67791A.
I don't have IAR embedded IDE. Is there any other option to load Hex into MSP430-F67791A.
pls reply me as soon as possible.
Hello,
For other community members, this question was related but different than the original question in the following thread.
CCS/EVM430-F6779: How to change the default baud rate generated by EMDC?
There are many ways to program the firmware on the EVM430-F6779, but we only provided the CCS Download and Debug method in the EMDC Technology Guide with the expectation that users may want to step through the code and get familiar with it.
With that being said, in CCS, please feel free to change the configuration from Debug to Release. More importantly, you can use CCS to build the code and then generate images in certain formats. I would recommend using the TI-TXT format.
To do this, open your CCS project properties window, navigate to "CCS Build", then "MSP430 Hex Utility", make sure "Enable MSP430 Hex Utility" box is checked, then go to "Output Format Options" and select your desired format, preferably TI-TXT format. Then, at the bottom, click "Apply and Close" to save these settings. Rebuild your project, and the TI-TXT file will be found in the "Debug" folder in your CCS project folder.
You can copy this file somewhere and use UniFlash or Elprotronic's FET-Pro430 Lite software (both are free) to program the EVM430-F6779 using this file with the MSP-FET debugger. During programming, make sure the MSP-EXP430F5529LP (EMDC HID bridge) isn't connected if you're using one.
For IAR hex files, I would recommend using the Elprotronic's FET-Pro430 Lite software to program the EVM.
