Tool/software:
Hi team,
This is a follow up to the related question where the customer is placing the MSP430 on the board without it being programmed. We've also found out that once the crystal begins to oscillate and runs the program, it will continue start up on subsequent power-cycles. We also know that the program sets BCSCTL1.XT2=1.
- What is the difference between BCSCTL1.XT2=0 and BCSCTL1.XT2=1 as far as the crystal being able to fire up?
- Is it possible to use a debugger to set BCSCTL1.XT2=1 after the part is programmed and before the crystal runs the first time?
The protocol now is:
- Program via JTAG
- Cycle power
Could it be changed to:
- Program via JTAG
- Use a debugger to set BCSCTL1.XT2=1
- Cycle power to let the program run
Does this sound like a feasible solution?
Thanks,
Luke
