MSP-GANG: Uploading a new image to the programmer without API/MSP-GANG-SOFTWARE

Part Number: MSP-GANG
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5969, MSP430FR5994, MSP430F5510

I am trying to figure out the best way to upload a new software version to program an MSP430FR5969 to the MSP-GANG. I am trying to integrate it in to an automated test system to be able to flash new firmware versions to an array of different products. It looks like the write info block command listed in section 3.5.4.6 of document slau358q. The command to do what I need exists, however the only two options (using the MSP-GANG-SOFTWARE and using the MSP-GANG API) will not work in my situation as I am using a Linux machine, not Windows. If there is any information available on how to take a .TXT firmware file and upload it to the MSP-GANG using the info block command, that is exactly what I need or could recommend an alternative way that would be perfect. Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello,

    You can use MSP430FR5994 integrated UART/I2C Bootloader to upload .TXT firmware to device.

    Please find the resources at MSPBSL.

    My MSP-GANG like flasher is with open source PC CLI side and open interface, fully customized, working on Linux. It is in slowly  process of porting master device from MSP430F5510 to more powerful Cortex-M0+. However, I have some old boards left, if this (Linux customized flasher) is what you need.

     

    msp@linux:~$ flash -f test_msp430fr4133.txt -w -v

    That actually looks like exactly what I need. Can you program only certain port numbers?
