MSP432P401R Rev-C, BSL Scripter v3.2.0 can’t access the device well.

Hi Yamauchi-san,

 I'm getting a similar behavior, and I'm thinking that it could be related to the BSL version. I'm looping the tools team so the can comment about this. 

Which BSL version are you running?? In my case I'm running version 0000.0002.0003.0103.0004

Also I found that if you reset your the board just after you run the bsl_scripter, it successfully connects.

I'll run a few more tests with the latest bsl version and I'll get back to you.

Regards,

 David

Hello David,

Thanks for your help.

1 BSL version

I checked two devices with using BSL Scripter 3.1.0.0. The results were as bellow.

TX_BSL_VERSION_32

              BSL Version is : BSL_Vendor[0],CI[300],API[600],PI[302],Build_ID[800]

2 Update BSL

I could not update the BSL, because appeared verify error at address 0x202000.

At first, I opened properties and restored it default and set it as bellow.

Then launched selected configuration, connected the device, program load BSL432_MSP432P401.out, no offset. Verify error message appeared.

Please, let me know how to update the BSL.

Best regards,

Kazuo Yamauchi

Hi Yamauchi-san,

 Please change your debug options to "Erase and download necessary segments only", that should do the trick.

Best regards,

Hello David,

Thanks for your help.

I tried to update the BSL into three devices as same as your properties settings, but I could not update these devices.

Device1 got the same verify error. This was programed the BSL_PARAMS in the flash-mailbox.

Device2 and Device3 got the results as bellow.

Exited from Debugger and executed the Factory Reset. Then connected the BSL of Device2 and 3 with BSL Scripter3_2 and get the following message.

Maybe, this BSL is not updated because showed message as ‘Password is incorrect’ and BSL Version isn’t changed.

I’ve programed the BSL downloaded from TI Web CUSTOM-BSL432. Is this the latest?

Kazuo Yamauchi

Hi Yamauchi-san,

Unfortunately I can not reproduce this behavior, please double check that both options "Erase and download necessary segments only" and "Allow BSL information memory erase" are selected on the target configuration that your are launching.

Yes that is the latest.

Anyway lets try something else. There is a utility inside of the MSP432Ware that will allow you to update the BSL. This utility is located in the boot_loader folder (ex. C:\ti\msp\MSP432Ware_3_50_00_02\boot_loader). Please refer to the readme file to run this utility.

I made some changes to the batch file to use the latest bsl version. Please download these files

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/166/BSL0000.0003.0007.0205.000A.txt

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/166/Program_5F00_MSP432_5F00_BSL_5F00_new.bat

into the boot_loader folder and run the Program_MSP432_BSL_new.bat file. You should see something like this when it is done:

Please give this a try and let me know if you run into any issues.

Hello David,

I’m using XDS110-ET on board Rev:B.

1 Updating BSL by CCSv6.2

I got the same result. A curious thing is no erase massages on console. I think this method is not effective.

2 The bat, you posted, to update BSL

It failed, I got the following message.

I updated the firmware with using xdsdfu utility showed in the screen.

Hi Kazuo,

Let me summarize your setup and clarify some points to reproduce your problem here:

1. Are you using the Launchpad 432 Rev B?

2.

Yes, we keep the older version linked here

Hello David,

I use only the XDS110-ET emulator on MSP-EXP432P401R Rev-B, my test board is MSP-TS432PZ100. I got some new MSP432P401R Rev-C and executed the same examinations.

3 BSL update with CCSv6.2

* There are no messages of BSL segment erase! When I tested another program, a segment erase message appeared. I wonder ‘Allow BSL segment erase’ don’t work.

Thanks for your help.

I have only the MSP-EXP432P401R Rev C on my desk. I tried the Factory Reset script through CCS 6.2.0, and sometimes it does not erase the application that I downloaded before. Then I used the Target Socket Board MSP-TS432PZ100, and Factory Reset is executed correctly.

It didn’t work.

It is working on my side. Make sure the reset before executing the BSL Scripter. What I could suggest to you:

1. If you already setup BSL hardware invoke in the beginning in the Flash Mailbox, evethough you apply the Factory Reset, this setup stays. Try to invoke the BSL pin with correct polarity, and see if now you can invoke the BSL.
2. The other suggestion is to update the BSL firmware, to the newest one. Below I have some inputs for you regarding this update.

I experienced this once. Make sure on the Debug Option you choose the: Erasing main and information memory as David mentioned before. Then in the console you got:

CORTEX_M4_0: Flash Programmer: Erasing main and information memory

instead what you had: CORTEX_M4_0: Flash Programmer: Erasing main memory

Hello Fatma,

I failed these works under you and David advices.

1 BSL Scripter 3.2.0 with MSP-FET

Just after BSL Scripter 3.2.0 failed, BSL Scripter 3.1.0 did work correctly.

2 BSL update with CCSv6.2, XDS110 and XDS100v2

I carefully confirmed the properties setting many times; I think I never missed that.

3 CCSv6.2 versions

Are there any differences of CCS? My installed versions are as bellow.

Anyway, I give up this BSL update, we will use BSL Scripter 3.1.0.

Thank you very much for your support.
