Msp430 Usb Firmware Upgrade Example [EXTENDED]

// USB command handling (example) void USB_handle_commands(void) if (received_cmd == CMD_WRITE_FLASH) WRT; // Enable write *flash_ptr = data_byte; while (FCTL3 & BUSY); FCTL1 = FWKEY; // Disable write FCTL3 = FWKEY

TI provides MSP430USBDFU.exe (Windows). Usage: msp430 usb firmware upgrade example

// Function pointer to application void ( jump_to_app)(void) = (void ( )(void))APP_START_ADDR; This allows in-application firmware upgrades via USB without

Here’s a structured technical text explaining an , covering the concept, required components, and a basic implementation flow. MSP430 USB Firmware Upgrade Example Overview Many MSP430 microcontrollers (e.g., MSP430F55xx, MSP430USBxx families) integrate a USB module. This allows in-application firmware upgrades via USB without requiring a dedicated programmer (like JTAG or Spy-Bi-Wire). The process is often called DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) .
