MSP430FR5994: Read data from device memory

1. Can you use debug mode?

2. Yes, you can, but you need to check from UG, if the device can be read.

Hi Eason,

Thank you for your reply,

I should describe my question more clearly. I have multiple MSP430FR5994 custom boards, those boards worked normally for a few weeks. One of them crashed someday and always hung on start up since then. The other boards are still working. And I would like to check whether the data in the crashed device are corrupted. 

I think I can use the debug mode if I flash it with CCS, but I want to keep those data in it. Can I use debug mode without flashing my board?

Is there any software tool capable to access the memory of a malfunctioning device?

You can use Uniflash to read the memory out.

Hi ,

Uniflash stuck in loading every time. Is there standard procedure to read out memory by Uniflash?

Is Uniflash the only tool to read the memory?

1. Have you make it work on other FR5994? If so use SBW will be the same problem.

2. Another way is try to use BSL to read the memory. But it is not easy to setup. Here is the link:www.ti.com/.../MSPBSL

Hi,

1. Other boards also failed to connect with Uniflash. Is it anything to do with jtag password? I've secured my devices with jtag password.

2. For security reasons BSL is disabled on my boards. 

Is there any jtag debug tool for msp430 I can try with my device?
