Preventing flash from overwrite

Wim Braekevelt1

Hello,

In my program I have reserved a few flash segments to store data.

These segments are reserved in the linker file:

APPDATAFLASH : origin = 0x8000, length = 0x0800
FLASH : origin = 0x8800, length = 0x7780

When I download a new program, the flash in the segments gets erased.

Is there a way to prevent this?

I need the data from these segments for debugging, otherwise i need to reprogram these segments (lots of work).

With kind regards,

Wim

You can customize this from the MSP430 Debugger Options view (Tools->Debugger options->MSP439 Debugger Options). Please see this thread.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response.

I have read that thread before posting this one, but it didn't work at the time.

I have retried the given soluation and now it works fine (must have been something I overlooked).

Thank you again for the quick response.

With kind regards ,

Wim
