Hi all, what is the fastest/elegant way to downlaod only a serial number directly into the information memory. I want to be able to put the serial number before of after a program download into the main flash memory wihtout corrupted it. Is there a fast way with msp430-jtag?
there are several ways. - download an intel hex file (.a43). this format is easy to patch before downloading. - make a single line intel hex file with your serial number and write it with msp430-jtag. you must be sure that the memory you write to is erased. - otherwise you'd need to upload an entire flash segment, patch the values and download it again. that could be done with "msp430-jtag --ihex --upload 0x1000 --size 256" (output to a file or use pipes to connect the programs output to each other) - you could also use the python modules, which allow to call memory read/write/erase commands manually. that way you don't need to create intermediate files. that's probably what i'd do. chris
