Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR4133, UNIFLASH

Hello,

I've done first steps with CCS 6.0.1 (Linux, Debian, 64bit). I have taken all updates available.

I'd like to work on a launchpad MSP430FR4133. Example (blink.c) works well.

Restoring of OUT-OF-THE-BOX files is not working: build has 4 errors (LCDBMEM unknown). In earlier blogs was told, that msp430fr4133.h must be newer: where is a download posible?

I'd like to flash the binary given with the zip-file on my board: uniflash, FET Pro430 from elprotronic, and so on have no support for familiy msp430fr4xxx

What shall i do?

Thank You!

    That header file should come with your CCS installation. Specifically here:

    <CCS INSTALL DIR>/ccsv6/ccs_base/msp430/include

    yes it looks like UniFlash 3.1.0 does not have support for that device. However, you can still use CCS to flash the binary file (using the Load Program feature).

    Thanks

    Hello,

    thanks lot for fast answering.

    1) I've installed ccs 6.0.1 once more (after deleting files ti, workspace, .eclipse): later there is a problem with updates. The computer will collect somethings, prepare it and forgot it after a restart... Url for uploading error-logs was deleted very fast. There also occur an error calculating sizes...

    2) Indeed there is an old version (1139) of msp430fr4133.h. Update hasn't work.

    3) Load Program utility of the debugger only allows loading of .out, .x*, and one or two more, but no .txt - Is this problem due to "free license"?

    4) Hex430 - Utilities were enabled: output in form .txt will be generated...

    5) More assistance necessary..., sorry

    Thanks Lot! Rolf

    Can you provide some screenshots of the exact error messages?

    I have attached my version of the file (1159)

    msp430fr4133.h

    Just change the extension to "All files (*)" to select the *.txt file:

    many formats are supported:

    Thanks lot for giving help!

    1) Error-messages were shown only short and then disappeared after checking the OK-button. It seems as the program will not return to this point next day. I like to add something via "app center", but this doesn't open. There's a bug in my installation. Shortly: i can't give You screenshots. Reinstallation just for confirming errors takes much download and time...

    2) msp430fr4133.h on my machine is indeed an old version. I will use Yours and it is ok.

    As workaround i added following code line in the beginning of main.h

    #define LCDBMEM ((char*) &LCDBM1) // workarround, build is posible

    and the build works for me. xxdiff shows, that this was a good idea. But the newer version contains a lot of more useful stuff. Thank You.

    3+4) It was posible to activate ti-.txt output (works). I was afraid using the "All file" button.... I have tried it know: debugging of the project was ok, the load-program-button was available. Point to the .txt-file gives new errors: "Could not determine target type of file" and so on. My work will continue.

    Thanks lot for help!
