Upload Using Programmer fails

[RickKimball]

I tried using the Sketch/Upload Using Programmer menu item and it failed with this message:

...
Sketch uses 782 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 16,384 bytes.
Global variables use 32 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory, leaving 480 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 512 bytes.
Error while uploading: missing 'program.tool' configuration parameter

OS: Linux Ubuntu 15.10 Using EnergiaNG build. ( I wasn't sure If I should file this under the IDE or the core )

Upload using programmer does not apply to Energia boards. Not sure how to handle this right now. I do want to keep this option in the menu for if users want to install cores other than Energia cores in the Energia IDE. I'll see if I can "fix" upload using programmer to do the same as just upload.

What does msp430-size report for that Sketch? I think the regex here https://github.com/energia/msp430-lg-core/blob/master/platform.txt#L80 is correct? Or am I missing something?

It could be that mspdebug is reporting other sections in the total size..

Energia reports:

Sketch uses 782 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 16,384 bytes.
Global variables use 32 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory, leaving 480 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 512 bytes.

mspdebug reports:

Programming...
Writing  872 bytes at c000...
Writing   32 bytes at ffe0...
Done, 904 bytes total

msp430-size -A reports:

$ msp430-size -A Debounce.ino.elf 
Debounce.ino.elf  :
section           size    addr
.text              778   49152

.debug_ranges      140       0
Total            19231

The real size, which includes .text + .data + .rodata is this ( this matches what mspdebug says 900+4 ):

$ msp430-size Debounce.ino.elf 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    900       4      28     932     3a4 Debounce.ino.elf

BTW the flash size discrepancy is a different issue ( #8 )

[robertinant]

Sorry posted in the wrong issue. Seems like .rodata is missing from: recipe.size.regex=^(?:.text|.data|.bootloader)\s+([0-9]+).*

I'll add it in the next release

[RickKimball]

That only comes out to 872. You need to throw in the .vector sections too:

$ msp430-size -A Debounce.ino.elf | grep -e '.text' -e '.rodata' -e '.data' -e '.vectors' | awk '{ sum += $2 }; END { print sum }' 904

Or you could change the max size to what it really is .. 16352
