- $ cd msp430_code/fabooh/apps/gdb_bootloader $ make clean all install Note: this will erase the current program installed on your chip along with info segments b,c and d. It leaves infoa alone. If all goes well, you will now be able to program via the serial port without the need for. A launchpad or fet.

The software you can use to download the code trought BSL is BSLScripter, and you can download it from here: it is the.exe file located in that zip folder under BSLFiles/BSL Scripter, where you have a user manual. You also have demo examples of scripts for code downloading. Just copy the executable to the demo folders, and run it from there. I will post here some sample scripts from that file: Download App code: Download App code and verify: Dear Sir, when i double click on' BSLScripter.exe', black screen will come and disappear. Can you tel me the solution for this.
Sir i am not understanding the following codes. Download App code: MODE 5xx COM1 MASSERASE RXPASSWORD RXDATABLOCK BigFile.txt CRC 5C00 1000 982B Download App code and verify: MODE 543xfamily COM1 MASSERASE RXPASSWORD RXDATABLOCK BigFile.txt CRC 5C00 1000 982B please help me. When i double click on' BSLScripter.exe', black screen will come and disappear.
You need to run it from command prompt Under windows press 'Alt+R', and in the run dialog, write cmd (if in windows xp or above) Now navigate with DOS commands to folder where you have the BSLSCripter stored. Execute it from there by typing - BSLScripter myScript.txt and press enter. ('myScript.txt' the name of the fille containing the script that will be interpreted). The code need to in.txt format TI-TXT for generating the compiled.txt ROM you can use code composer studio.
How to Generate Binary-Format Files (TI-TXT and INTEL-HEX) The CCS installation includes the hex430.exe conversion tool. It can be configured to generate output objects in TI-TXT format for use with the MSP-GANG430 and MSP-PRGS430 programmers, as well as INTEL-HEX format files for TI factory device programming. The tool can be used either standalone in a command line (located in ccsv5 ccsbase tools compiler msp430 bin) or directly within CCS. In the latter case, a post-build step can be configured to generate the file automatically after every build by selecting predefined formats such as TI-TXT and INTEL-HEX in the 'Apply Predefined Step' pull-down menu (Project → Properties → Build → Build Steps Tab → Post-Build Step → Apply Predefined Step). The generated file is stored in the Debug directory. For more info check the user manual Check the manual given with BSLScripter for the understanding of the scripting commands and parameters.
But basically: MODE 543xfamily COM1. Dear Sir Thank you. I will follow your suggestions.

I have one doubt that. Before Downloading the Application program to the MSP430F5438 using BSL, i have to download the BSL code to the MSP430F5438 using JTAG,so that on RESET it has to go to BSL code. If so, then which code i have write for MSP430F5438 to download through JTAG. I am not getting any Example code to download From JTAG. Please help me.
Regards Sunil. There is some kind of problem with your images.
I not able to see them. Please re-upload the images. Also, post the script that you are using, as well as the real name of the files you are using., Keep in mind that you will have to have in the same folder: the following files: myScript.txt (witch is a script written by you in order to configure BSLScripter.exe to download the code) myRom.txt (witch is your application ROM in the TI-TXT format, and that is correctly referenced on the myScript.txt) BSLScripter.exe (the application that will download the code) - Post added 28-04-12 at 00:27 - Previous post was 27-04-12 at 23:32.
I am new to BSL programming. I don't know how to write BSL code and Which is the software used to download BSL code to the MSP430F5438. Any way, I just understand that I haven't answer you question properly. If you want a BSL that enables you to download TI-TXT app by serial or USB you can use the original TI-TXT BSL that comes with the chip, and use the BSLScripter (witch source code is available) If you want to download custom BSL into the MSP430F5438, you can Use IAR or CodeComposerStudio, etc. Be aware that there is a bug in some MSP430F5438. Only Rev -A will support custom BSL. Gentlemen, I would like to discourage you from trying to load custom code into the BSL memory space of current MSP430F543x (non-A) devices.
The reason is that the current devices have a bug (SYS4, see the device errata sheet under ) for which there is basically no workaround. Therefore, programming a custom BSL is not supported. Future device revisions will have this bug fixed and will allow for BSL customization. If a custom bootloader is desired, it needs to be implemented using the device's main Flash memory.
Regards, Andreas Please check this tread. Dear sir, sorry for the inconvenience.
When i type -' BSLScripter script.txt' in command line. I face the following problem. Please see the image below. The BSLScripter.exe is under the following folder. C: BSL Scripter BSLScripter.exe the script file is under the following folder. C: BSL Scripter Demo Scripts 5438ApplicationDownloadandVerify scrip t.txt this file contains the following code.
MODE 543xfamily COM1 MASSERASE RXPASSWORD RXDATABLOCK BigFile.txt CRC 5C00 1000 982B the BigFile.txt is under the following folder. C: BSL Scripter Demo Scripts 5438ApplicationDownloadandVerify BigF ile.txt this file contains the code, Please help me to find the solution. Regards Sunil. Well, seems that the problem is that the BSLScripter is not finding the files you point.
Copy:. script.txt. BigFile.txt to C: BSL Scripter then you will have.
C: BSL Scripter BSLScripter.exe. C: BSL Scripter script.txt. C: BSL Scripter BigFile.txt also, If you have an Rev-A of MSP430F5438, that script.txt that you are using won't work because of line MODE 543xfamily COM1 also, this script will be using COM1. Is this where you have the uC connected? - Post added at 05:51 - Previous post was at 05:47. Dear sir, i am getting confuse, i don't know how to write BSL code and Application code for MSP430F5438.
