Hello everyone,
I need help.
We have just purchased a MSP-FETU430-IF, with a view to (re)-program the MSP430, on our DM355EVM board.
I have install the IAR Kickstart IDE, and I'm ready to run the Flashing LEDs example.
However, I am very concerned about doing this.
In brief, I would like to do the following:
1) Build and run the Flashing LEDs example on the MSP430. Works correctly.
2) re-program the MSP430 with the original code, as supplied by Spectrum Digital (http://c6000.spectrumdigital.com/evmdm355/reve/)
That's it.
My fear is, what happens if I somehow corrupt something, and step 2 above is not possible, and we are left in a situation where the DM355EVM board is completely useless?
To be more precise, my questions are:
1) Is it possible???
2) Do I connect the JTAG before I power up the DM355EVM, or power up the DM355EVM, as normal. Kernel then login, etc.?
3) Can I read what is already in the MSP430 flash? So, that I can go back to the exact code that was there?
Does someone have a step by step guide on how I can do the above?
Thank you.
