Calculating Checksum in CCS Ver 6.1.0

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5132

Hi,

We want to calculate checksum for our software code developed in CCS Ver 6.1.0.

We are using MSP430F5132 micro controller for development.

As per our knowledge, we connected control board to computer through LaunchPad and we are in debug mode. In 'Tools' there should be option of On-Chip Flash but we are unable to find it when we select 'Tools'.

Please suggest the steps followed to generate checksum.

Regards,

Rohit

    For MSP430, try the menu Tools->Debugger Options.

    The flash programmer in CCS does not have built-in capability to generate checksum. Please ask in the MSP430 forums as there may be other tools you can use to do this.

  • Hi Aarti Madam,
    We checked in Tools->Debugger Options but in Debugger Options also 'On-Chip Flash/Calculate Checksum' is not available.
    We are using CCS Ver6.1.0 Trial(Free) for development.
    Please suggest the path.

    Regards,
    Rohit
  • As I mentioned in my previous reply, the option to calculate checksum in CCS is not available for MSP430. Please ask in the MSP430 forums as they may suggest other tools that have the capability.
