MSP430F5659: USB PC Host download software

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430USBDEVPACK

Is the Visual Studio host software still available that is not Python based for USB download? I tried to down load it from the app note(link in red) and it says 'site under maintenance.' It's not in the MSPWARE folder. Thanks,

The USB solution for MSP430™ microcontrollers has been designed to make this process simple and straightforward. The device contains a USB-based on-chip bootstrap loader, and TI provides a Windows source project for downloading firmware that can be quickly customized. This source can be built with Visual C++ 2008 Express, available from Microsoft at no cost. For the USB support software for MSP430 MCUs, see the MSP430 USB Developers Package (MSP430USBDEVPACK). This guide is intended for developers creating a basic USB firmware upgrade system. Those wishing to customize the update process or wanting a deeper look at the underlying bootstrap loader can consult Creating a Custom Flash-Based BSL (SLAA450) and MSP430 Programming Via the Bootstrap Loader

Hello Jerry,

Sorry, the site is being upgraded to a new format. You can find this in the "Download Options" section of the page below.

Hi Eddie,

I'm still having problems downloading what I'm looking for. When I choose download options, and try to download the 'Firmware Upgrade Example', I get this message

Hmmm… can't reach this page

It looks like the webpage at downloads.ti.com/.../MSP430_USB_Firmware_Upgrade_Example-1.3.1.2-Setup.exe might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Hi,

I have been using a modified version of that VS code as an executable for awhile. My laptop had crashed, so I lost the source code. My concern is that TI is not supporting it any longer. Is it possible to just send me that source. Maybe securely to my email? I will not expect TI support on using it.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry,

The error with the website has still not been resolved. I will send you a friendship request where I can send you a direct link to download the file.
