CCS/MSP430F5132: MSP430 PROGRAMMING VERIFY

Part Number: MSP430F5132
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I use CCS with MSP-FET flash emulation tool to load the code to MSP430F5132. I load 2 projects at CCS..TIDA00120 and TIDA010042...I made a demo board with MCU MSP430 for some tests....communication between demo board and MSP-FET ok...build-debug ok for both projects...2 questions about programming verify.

1.  how to verify with CCS that firmware of project was loaded on MSP430 ? is there some message for that ? 

2. I have loaded the firmware of TIDA00120 at MSP430 ....when I try to load the firmware of second project (TIDA010042), I have a message  "no target found"...how to reprogram the MSP430 and verify that with CCS ?

    After the code is loaded, the message below is always displayed. 

    console said:

    MSP430:  Flash/FRAM usage is 82 bytes. RAM usage is 0 bytes.

    You can always enable a verbose mode where more information is shown. To do that, simply open the project Properties and navigate to the options below. Enable the checkbox Enable verbose output.

    I don't know these examples in deep detail, but in the same options above there is a section called Erase Options. You can select the radio button Erase and download necessary segments only (Differential Download) and launch the debugger with the first project.

    Wait unti the executaboe is loaded and then, without terminating the debug session, load the executable of the second project by going to menu Run --> Load --> Load Program. 

    If the two projects are, in fact, intended to be loaded at the same time, one wil not overwrite or erase the previously loaded code. 

    For details about the projects themselves, please consult with the experts at the MSP forum. 

    Hope this helps,

  • dear desouza,

    thanks for info..initially after setting on Enable Verbose Output , I had info on console....at the next reset of CCS , there is no info at memory browser or console , so I can't verify that the code is loaded on MSP30.....how can resolve that ?

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately I can't make an assessment without details on how you are launching the debugger in CCS. There are many ways to launch the debugger that can show different outcomes. 

    For this, I strongly suggest you to look at section 7.3.2 of the CCS User's Guide - this can help you debug the issue in a methodical way and identify the issues during the launch process. 

    The CCS User's Guide is available at the CCSv9.1 help (menu Help --> Contents) or at the link below.

    Hope this helps,
