Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EVM430-F6736

Hi, 

I am using FET Pro flash programming tool from Elprotronic to program the flash memory of EVM430-f6736 board.The IDE is IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430 5.60. When I connected the msp430uif it asks for updating the firmware of the JTAG. I update this and when it reaches 100% updation, I closed that diologue box. For reading from flash what I will do further. Which file need to be written to the flash to download the program.

    If you are using FET PRO, you do not need any other SW to be written to Micro to read flash. Fet Pro takes care of it for you , all you have to do is to click the button (Read/Copy )on it.

    It will open a pop up window with all the flash contents of Micro controller.

    The JTAG update you were asked to do was for updatign the firmware in the FET430UIF. It has to match the DLL version used by IAR on the PC. It was not uploading your firmware ot the target MSP.

    About writing your ode to the target MSP, when entering the IAR debugger, IAR can upload the binary to the target through the FET430UIF directly. This is the most comfortable way while developing or debugging.
    You don't need an external tool like the Elprotronic sotware for this. However, for medium-count production, this is inconvenient. You can instruct the IAR linker to generate an additional output file in TI.TXT or Intel.HEX format. This file will only contain the binary data and no debug information and can be used with the Elprotronic FETPro tool. It can also read the binary data back from the target MSP into a file if you want. (this part of your post was not clear: what exactly do you want to do? Upload? Download?)
    The commercial version of this too also supports inserting a serial number from a list when flashing the devices, and can be started from a batch file without user interaction.
