WIPE is simple in 4e4th, since it it taylored for the MSP430G2553 on LaunchPad. It just erases user flash and executes FACTORY then. FACTORY moves a ROM tabel to RAM user area, clears variable area in RAM to zero, and does a SAVE on it so that 'factory settings' is the new app, and runs into ABORT. There is no eeprom, and we do not have to take care of other MCUs. Michael >> >> >> Well, I'm using marker a lot. And I don't see, how wipe would get me >> any further.

And a recovery mechanism if a student gets locked in forth some how, has no terminal access any more, and reset does not help. Press switch S2+reset to WIPE and start over. But you have to chose 4e4thpro (pro for production) to strip S2 booting capability and use that pin for apps too.
