Standalone Flash solution for MSP430

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, MSP-FET

Hi. I have the same Problem with MSP430 devices on CCS6.1.1.0002. Debug mode works fine nut I just want to flash the device using the release mode. Can I use flashburn, too? I am using Windows 10 and the MSP-FET430UIF.
Thanks, Helmut

    Helmut,

    The Flashburn referenced by Ki in the old thread is not applicable for MSP430 devices. However, to help you we have the Uniflash solution for standalone programming of multiple device families, including MSP430. Check the details below:

    Just FYI, please refrain from posting on old threads that are "marked as answered", since the chances are very high we will miss them due to the volume of new threads every day.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael

    Hi Rafael.
    I have installed Uniflash and it works. But it is very huge solution and I was looking for small programmer software which can be integrated into the IDE of CCS6, in a way like the debugger. For the moment it would be fine to use the MSP-FET430UIF as a programmer alternatively to the debugger.
    Any further ideas.
    Thanks, Helmut

    Helmut,

    A friend in the MSP group mentioned a smaller solution called 430flasher, which may be suitable for your environment.
    www.ti.com/.../msp430-flasher

    Interesting you mentioned that a "small programmer software which can be integrated into the IDE of CCSv6". You know that CCS is able to flash a MSP device, right? If so, what exactly you meant by that sentence?

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael

    Hi Rafael.
    No, I did not know that CCS is able to flash a MSP430. I just found the symbol of a hammer to switch between release mode and the debug mode. Debug works, but takes a much longer than programming only. In release mode I recognized only a build-process, that's all. It would be great if the MSP-FET will automatically "just program" the device and run the program. That's what I want as an alternative to debug. Just quick and dirty programming...
    Please give me a hint for the setup.
    Thanks, Helmut
