So I hope to program my device via LaunchPad. <br />Just a little disappointed by your words<br />"Any device that can be programmed using SBW can be programmed by the LaunchPad if the LaunchPad's firmware support it"<br />What kind of firmware support do you mean? Is it possible that a device has SBW implemented and still cannot be programmed via LauncPad?Dr.Vlashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958325353869360506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168992611451428662.post-23812969291343843162011-05-26T15:29:05.627-04:002011-05-26T15:29:05.627-04:00Anonymous: The instability could actually be cause...Anonymous: The instability could actually be caused by the board you are using. Is the device sometimes not recognized by the computer? Does it seem to be almost random? Are you using a TI target board for the 55xx family?<br /><br />Dr. Vlas: Yes, I really do mean that the DEV.BO can be programmed via the LaunchPad. Each device will be tested with the LaunchPad and JTAG before being sent out!<br /><br />As far as the AFE family goes, I am not sure if it has support for Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW). Any device that can be programmed using SBW can be programmed by the LaunchPad if the LaunchPad's firmware support it. Many of the older devices do not support this.<br /><br />Hope that answers your questions! :-)NJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101156243681023963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168992611451428662.post-80384934449535534382011-05-18T16:36:39.800-04:002011-05-18T16:36:39.800-04:00Hi,

Cannot find a clear answer to a simple question: <br />Can LaunchPad program any MSP430 chip that has SBW on a board?<br />Your statement "This board can easily be programmed using the LaunchPad or any MSP430 JTAG programmer" is encouraging. Do you really mean it?<br />I've got LaunchPad and am developing a MSP430AFE251 controlled device. So it is important to obtain a confident answer.<br /><br />By the way. I've visited a seminar on MSP430. And the TI fellow (from Moscow) told me the LaunchPad cannot program AFE family. Just a little diffidently...<br /><br />Cheers from Ukraine!Dr.Vlashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958325353869360506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168992611451428662.post-8297486099670004582011-05-04T19:31:49.278-04:002011-05-04T19:31:49.278-04:00Thanks for the reply.

I finally got the device to load a device driver (HID) Datapipe but had to comment out the suspend Interrupt handler to do so. And even with that removed, although the device now Enumerates it is quite unstable. I.e im only using the echo string demo and if i send quick successive messages the device chip locks up.<br /><br />If you had seen anything like this would love to here any suggestions you have but im guessing your suggestion would be to put-down a FTDI chip :).<br /><br />Thanks again for the reply <br /><br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168992611451428662.post-24379784347099502102011-05-03T00:49:21.731-04:002011-05-03T00:49:21.731-04:00I have done extensive work with the integrated USB...I have done extensive work with the integrated USB peripheral on the new 55xx family (granted it was a few months ago), and the whole experience was disappointing to say the least.<br /><br />The USB stack that TI provides is (was?) very inefficient and I have never seen anyone get the data rate over 600kbps sustained. If so, I would love to find out how, since I would prefer not to use the FTDI chip. <br /><br />That being said, the USB peripheral is great if you are using the HID interface (slow data rates). The main downside in my opinion is how much code you really need to load onto the microcomputer to even get a little bit of functionality. I have broken out all of the pins in case you decide you want to play around with the integrated USB, it was a great learning experience even though I would not recommend using it for a project. Take a look at the example code on TI's website.<br /><br />I hope that answered your question. Best of luck with your projects! :-)NJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101156243681023963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168992611451428662.post-44990370198049705722011-05-02T23:15:56.488-04:002011-05-02T23:15:56.488-04:00The MSP430 has onboard USB.
