The project provides a number of scripts to work with the MSP430 embedded processor. Such as up/download firmware with JTAG, BSL or GDB (proxy) as well as working with different formats of binaries (ihex, titext, hexdump, ELF). The full functionality is also available as Python library.

msp430.bsl.bsl.BSLTimeout: could not sync #1

Open kianmeng opened 6 years ago

kianmeng commented 6 years ago

I've this development kit, MSP430 LCD Developmen​t Board MSP430 LCD KIT-C + MSP430F413 Microcontroller. Full kit documentation can be downloaded here (note some documents are in Chinese).

When running the msp430-bsl command, it can't seems to sync. Is there any way to proceed ahead to get it to work or maybe I miss something? Please advise.

You did not specify a port. Try adding -p hwgewp://prolific or the corresponding /dev/ttyUSBx device name.

The boards seems to support BSL but has some jumpers that must be set correctly.

Thanks. I'm not sure what is -p hwgewp://prolific but /dev/ttyUSB0 did do the trick.

$ sudo msp430-bsl -v --debug /dev/ttyUSB0

Connection have been made and the timer in the LCD stop counting. Do you know what I can do next to download or upload program to the MCU? I'm new to this micro-controller stuff.
