The user guide for MSP430 BSL bootloader (slau319ad.pdf ) specifically states that all interrupts are to be disabled before jumping to the boot loader.
__disable_interrupt(); // disable interrupts
((void ( * )())0x1000)(); // jump to BSL
The hardware invocation of the bootloader using RST/NMI and TCK pins does not talk about disabling the interrupts.
With the MSP430 in a running state with interrupts firing, if the hardware invocation is applied, would that be considered safe or do we have to disable all interrupts before doing the hardware invocation.
Hello NIshant,
If you are doing a hardware invocation, you do not need to disabled interrupts. The hardware invocation starts by resetting the device.
