Linux/MSP430F5338: Need to set bit at the end of firmware loading

Mario Petrarca

Part Number: MSP430F5338

Tool/software: Linux

We are using MSP430.dll to load the firmware into our device. We want to burn the fuse/set bit to the device after loading the firmware. I am not the original developer of the code that calls the dll and I am not able to locate the header for the dll.

So first question can the dll be used to set the bit, and if so what is the parameter to pass to the dll to do so.

Thanks in advance

Hello Mario,

I am looking into this and will get back with some feedback next week.

Hello Mario,

I am not aware of a way to do this with the DLL. If you are using the MSP430Flasher tool, you can flow the fuse using a -f switch. Section 7.4 of the users guide below details this.

If I remember right, MSP430Flasher is also based on the same DLL, so he can check (-f switch) in MSP430Flasher source how it is done there.

I have located a user guide at this location "http://processors.wiki.ti.com/images/archive/0/0f/20140214165053%21MSP430_DLL_Developer%27s_Guide.pdf"

The links within the user guide do not work for me. Is there a single location that contains all of the supporting documentation with regards to the implementation of the MSP430.dll?

The documents can be found at the link below. There is an updated MSP430.dll developers guide located there as well.
