Programming Process Overview

• Standard Production Process: Programming

Testing

Serialization with database access and optionally with the barcode scanner

• Issues: Programmer with standard

software can be used both for programming and manual testing – usually not combined in this way

No extra capacitors, diodes etc.

No extra capacitors, diodes etc. JTAG: Due to high communication speed the JTAG lines should be connected directly from the connector to MCU. Traces should be as short as possible.

BSL: If Fast BSL is used then BSL-Tx and BSL-Rx lines should be connected directly or via resistors not exceeded 500 ohms to the JTAG/BSL connector. No extra capacitors, diodes, suppressors can be connected to the BSL-Tx and BSL-Rx lines.

MSP430.DLL

MSP430.DLL library allows use the USB programming adapter like FET (Flash Emulation Tool) with the IAR, Quadravox or CrossStudio IDE debugging software.

Performance of the USB-MSP430-FPA with the MSP430.DLL (as a FET) in debugging environment.

1 Flash Programming Time ( 60kB ) 5 seconds

2 Flash Erasing Time ( All Memory ) 0.3 s

3 Scrolling Memory Window Time from address 0x0000 to 0xFFFF ( PgDn - page by page )

6 seconds

4 Single step debugging speed 15 steps per second

Note: * All times are typical - tested with the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE software.


DLL for application

After installing the USB-MSP430 Flash Programmer the DLL software and demo can be found in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Elprotronic\USB MSP430 Flash Programmer

API-DLL

API-DLL-Demo

Cpp

VB6

VBnet

Fast MSP430 Flash Programmer (USB or Parallel Port) can be remotely controlled from other software applications (Visual C++, Visual Basic, LabView etc.) via DLL library (perfect for production usage).

• Note: API-DLL library has the same list of functions for the USB and the Parallel Port Programmers version.


DLL function type

Following three group of the function are implemented in the DLL:

Generic function• Initialize programmer, download code files, configuration setup etc.

Encapsulated functions• Executed full selected task with the target device starting from the power up of the target device, communication initialization, selected function execute and finished with the power down of the target device.

• No interruption and modification of the function can be done.

• Easy to use, optimized for fast execution.

Sequential functions• Open target device function is called first

• Any combination of small task can be selected like write word, read word, write block, erase flash segment, blank check part of memory etc.

• Access to the RAM

• Enforce program execution from any location – set PC and run

• Close target device function at the end
