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.
- there are level converters involved, you did not connect the msp430
directly to the serial port? the later would damage the device.
- RX/TX connected to the right pin, not crossed over by accident?

FET GND.
ok
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...
...
The inversion of the test pin sequence does not help either. Is
downloading of the patch necessary before attempting a mass erase?
no, it the msp430-bsl tool contains all that is needed ( a patch is
indeed needed to be able to program flash on F149 chips with but erase
works without it, there are however "extra erase cycles" needed, which
msp430-bsl will take care of.)
