Hi everyone, I'm using the FET410 tool for my MSP430F149 based project. I wish to program the flash using the Bootstrap Loader. I have connected P1.1, P2.2, TCK, RST/NMI, to their respective serial port pins. The FET is powered externally & serial port GND is connected to FET GND. I'm using the MSPGCC BSL program msp430-bsl.exe. Even after repeated attempts, I have been unable to erase the flash (mass erase). However, I am able to reset the device. This is what I get...
C:\mspgccn\bin>msp430-bsl --comport=5 --invert-test -e MSP430 Bootstrap Loader Version: 2.0 Use -h for help Mass Erase... An error occoured: Bootstrap loader synchronization error C:\mspgccn\bin>msp430-bsl --comport=5 -e MSP430 Bootstrap Loader Version: 2.0 Use -h for help Mass Erase... An error occoured: Bootstrap loader synchronization error C:\mspgccn\bin> The inversion of the test pin sequence does not help either. Is downloading of the patch necessary before attempting a mass erase? Any idea where I am going wrong? Thanks a lot, -Stanley Johnson
