MSP-EXP430F5529LP: LP Firmware Recovery, need help

Justin Reina89
Expert 2195 points
Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5529LP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSP430-FLASHER, MSP-FLASHER, CC2650, CC3200, CC-DEBUGGER, MSP430F5528,

I am not sure why but after my recent re-install of CCS (v7.2.0.00013) I was asked to update my Launchpad firmware when I connected it to the PC. It just hangs during the update, and I have to then cancel out eventually. See attached for the screen it hangs on.

I have multiple 5529 LP's, it asks for updates on all of them as I just tried this morning, and now all are bricked! How to correct, how to get my 5529 LP's updated & running again?

    I also tried using my MSP-FET and it tried to upgrade and freezed as well. See attached, yikes! What to do? :(

    *My MSP-FET430UIF works fine though, using now...!

    Thanks James, appreciated! I have also observed that Grace has disappeared now. Quite strange, not sure why!

    Hi Justin,

    You mentioned that now the Launchpads and MSP-FET are "bricked". Can  you elaborate on what happens when  you try to use them now?

    1. Are you given any error message? Please copy/paste or screenshot what it says exactly (this could provide a clue)
    2. If you open up the Device Manager in Windows, do you see the Launchpad or MSP-FET enumerating under COM ports anymore? If so what does it say (again a picture might be helpful here if possible)
    3. When you plug the MSP-FET into the PC, what do the LEDs do - what is the sequence of blinking/on/off of the red & green LEDs?
    4. Are you able to use latest version of MSP430-Flasher with the same affected tools and does it show a similar issue, or work?

    These are all questions to try to better understand the exact status of the MSP-FET and the Launchpads. That will hopefully provide a clue to what happened and how to resolve the issue.

    Regards,

    Katie

    Hey Katie,

     Thanks for the help, I ran through your questions this morning -

    1. No error messages!
    2. None of the devices with failed update attempts appear in Device Manager
      1. See attached (connection results.txt) for details on all devices
      2. All failed devices do appear, sniffed them out using USBDeview (see attached)

    3. Just a single Green LED on!
    4. Can you use MSP-Flasher with the Launchpads?

    Let me know your thoughts here, I can run any tests or ideas needed. Also to note, I have the TM4C, CC2650 & CC3200 LP's and the CC-Debugger also if needed.

    Hi Justin,

    1. When you try to program using the bricked MSP-FET or Launchpads you don't get any message at all in CCS? What specifically happens when you try to use them? There's nothing in the console in CCS?
    4. You should be able to use MSP430-Flasher command line software with launchpads. However, now that you mentioned that the devices are not even enumerating correctly, I am unsure if MSP430-Flasher will recognize them or not. I would still make the attempt though, because looking at your attachment I suspect that the HID device that enumerates is the MSP430 device inside of the MSP-FET coming up in bootloader mode so that it could be recovered.

    I will consult with our tools team about the device enumeration and how to recover.

    Regards,
    Katie

    Nope, they don't show up when connected or attempted for use!

    Any updates? These units have been sitting on the floor next to my desk for several days now, quite sad to look at! :(

    Hi Justin,

    Did you try using the latest version of MSP430-Flasher? The tools team indicated that because your tools are enumerating as HID, they should be detected by the flasher as tools that need an update and it should force an update. Hopefully that would recover your tools. Please share the result and a shot of the console window output from flasher so we can see the version involved, or if there are any issues, etc. https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/p/604566/2232679#2232679

    Regards,

    Justin,

    Thanks for the 'heads up' - I will not update my 5529s via CCS.

    QUESTION    >>>   what are the 5529LP board revision numbers, please ??   <<<

    Thank you.

    Expert 2195 points

    The are r1.5 & r1.6:

    board 1 - r1.6 #3971528013796
    board 2 - r1.5 #3971426004943
    board 3 - r1.5 #1312005260

    Hi Katie,

    I just tried your MSP430-Flasher recommendation and used the following procedure:

    1. Re-download & install MSPFlasher (v1.3.15)
    2. Plug in MSP-FET to USB
    3. open Command Prompt
    4. 'MSP430Flasher.exe –b –r [bsl.txt,BSL]'

    Response

           

    It just hangs here, I have tried this multiple times (3 times). One of the hang attempts took over an hour, thoughts?

    Here's an idea that might work.
    Thereis a tool I use which, among other things, checks for firmware revision and updates TI tools as needed.
    TOOL --- Lite FET-Pro430 Elprotronic LITE = the free version. - You'll have to search / download / run it, plug your 5529LP; and 'hope' it upgrades your EZfet firmware. Since your 3 LPs are bricked, it would be worth it to try, starting with the rev1.5 LP.

    Good luck,

    Hi Justin,

    Thanks for your patience here. Since the automatic firmware recovery was not working from Flasher or other tools for you, I have now obtained information on how you could use the MSP-FET to program new firmware into the eZ-FET on the Launchpad.

    See these test points on the MSP-EXP430F5529LP? These are connected to the debug connections on the eZ-FET for programming the MSP430F5528 on the eZ-FET itself.

    Looking at the schematic in the MSP-EXP430F5529LP User's guide www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau533 go to the page showing the eZ-FET lite emulator schematic and you can find TP110 through TP104. This shows you the labels for what JTAG signals these test points are connected to on the eZ-FET.

    The back of your MSP-FET has a diagram showing which pins on the MSP-FET connector correspond to which signal, so you can then connect the appropriate pins to these test points. It would be like this:

    JTAG Signal MSP-FET pin eZ-FET Test Point
    Vcc 2*** eZ-FET side of JP2 +3V3
    GND 9 TP104
    TEST 8 TP105
    TDO 1 TP106
    TDI 3 TP107
    TMS 5 TP108
    TCK 7 TP109
    RST 11 TP110

    ****If you use the MSP-FET pin 2, then power to the F5528 device on the eZ-FET will be supplied by the MSP-FET for programming. In this case you MUST NOT connect the USB of the Launchpad to avoid voltage conflicts.

    After you have made the connections, use software like Elprotronic Fet-Pro430 Lite software to download this code image into the device:

    You will need to make sure you set the memory options on the Elprotronic software to allow access to the BSL area of the memory. This code image will reprogram the BSL area of the device.

    After this you theoretically should be able to recover using the normal method with the Flasher or CCS or IAR that you had already attempted by entering a debug/programming session and allowing the software to update/recover.

    Please let me know if you run into problems.

    Regards,

    Katie
