MSP432E401Y: Binpack utility to add CRC to header of firmware image?

Eugene Gargas

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

I want to use the CHECK_CRC functionality of the BSL for the MSP432E401Y. In reading the SLAU746A user guide to the MSP432E4 BSL, it references a binpack.exe utility you can run post-build on your image that will calculate the CRC and insert it into the image.

This tool is not in the SDK best I can tell, contrary to what the app note says. Is there a tool available to calculate the CRC for MSP432E4 images so I can use CRC checking in the bootloader?

There should be lots of CRC generator tool on line like this https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/crc32_checksum.html

There is binpack.exe in TivaWare for C Series (Complete). Since the MSP432E device family is based upon the Tiva TM4C129 family, I think binpack.exe from a TivaWare installation should also work for a MSP432E device (albeit I haven't actually tested it).

TivaWare contains tools/binpack/binpack.c which is the source for the tool.
