MSP430F5510: Duplicate serial number

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

Hello,

The customer is using the serialization function of MSP Gang Programmer, but the serial number has been duplicated about twice.

(At some point, the previously used number, which is different from what the user expects, is written back to the new device.)

Therefore, please tell me what is the reason why the serial numbers are duplicated, such as the condition that the serial numbers are duplicated.

Best regards,
DDdoor

  • Hi,

    Could you get some screenshots on how the customer setting the MSP-Gang programmer while using the serialization function? I guess it is related to the wrong settings somehow.

  • Hi DDdoor,

    These setups looks fine. I am not sure why it gets duplicate serial number. 

    However, you can try with log the unique numbers log file. And get the serial number from the file and see if there still has this duplicate issue.

  • Hello Cash Hao,

    Thank you for your reply.
    We are still investigating the duplication of serial numbers.

    I have received a request from the customer to improve the MSP-GANG Programmer.
    Could you please consider this?

    What the customer wants to consider is that the serial number data be retained at the timing when the serial number is incremented.


    The serial number data seems to be stored when the user successfully shuts down the application,
    and if the PC is suddenly turned off or the application is forced to shut down in Task Manager,the latest number used to write to the device is not stored.

    For this reason, if the application is forced to close at the factory or the power of the PC is suddenly turned off,
    if the user writes again, there is a possibility that a large number of duplicate serial numbers will occur and it is difficult to use.
    For this reason, the customer wants to change the MSP-GANG Programmer serial number storage specification.

    Best regards,
