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
