MSP430FR2522: ".mspgangimage" and ".mspgangbin" interactive programming

Part Number: MSP430FR2522
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-GANG

Can I have multiple ".mspgangimage" or ".mspgangbin" image files for different micros and interactive program different micros using the mspgang.dll interface infinitely without wearing out the internal memory?

Can you provide a clear example of programming a target with an ".mspgangimage" or "mspgangbin" using the mspgang.dll interface only?

  • What's your meaning of ".mspgangimage" or ".mspgangbin"? I have not sow firmware in that format. The usually format may be .out .bin .txt .hex and so on.

  • MSPGang programmer manual

    section 2.1.9

    Creating and Using Images
    An image contains the code files and the configuration options necessary for programming of a target
    device. Images can be stored as a binary file (".mspgangbin") in internal MSP Gang Programmer memory
    (or SD card), or as an image file (".mspgangimage") on disk for redistribution. Image files intended for
    redistribution can be
    encrypted with additional security features described later in this section.

     


    these files contain configuration settings, taraget parameters, interface specifics all in one file. 

    The idea here is that we could support many different configurations and targets and contain all the configuration inside the programming file and use the appropriate file for the appropriate target.

    Imagine having a modular setup in manufacturing with different 'adaptors' between the programmer and the target. each adaptor would have wiring appropriate for the particular target and would be switched out for different products. the interface could be different between products. we want to be able to have different configurations all encapsulated in each programming file so we can interactively (without wearing out some memory or anything) program arbitrary target devices.

  • ".mspgangimage" or ".mspgangbin" format image used by MSP-GANG for standalone mode to download the image offline. You know it include the configurations that include the device number so one image you saved in the msp-gang just can download into dedicated device .

  • how to add with dll from c# not using TI software?

  • Sorry I have not do that before. We have some tools write by C or C++ and call the dll.

  • Hi

    Dose the example code I  have mentioned in the thread help you out from this problem?
