SBW MSP430F550x based programmer


Recommended Posts

@@jazz Thank you for putting so much time and effort into this. Is there anyway you can summarize what you are doing here with the programmer, with these updates - less space, speed? Do you have any pics of your setup?

Thanks!

 

This topic was some kind of progress report. I had long holidays between June and October, without topic related activity. I have list of functions that must be supported by flasher. There are two points left, fuse blow and customized BSL firmware update for flasher itself. Everything else is done, and I will not make any significant updates. At the end I will publish interface (flasher / PC - commands / data exchange) here together with source of PC side, and it will be very easy to integrate it in Energia, or make customized flasher on any OS. If anybody have topic related questions or some requests, we can discuss it here.

 

Complete SBW+ development hardware is here...

On the left side are MSP430x5xx target boards. Two on the left top are MSP430F5435. On the right side are MSP430x2xx target boards. Two on right bottom are MSP430G2553 (with DIP sockets). In the middle are 2 MSP430F5510 boards with all pins available. Upper one is armed with SBW+ connectors to 8 target devices and it is used as main board for project development. Another one is flashed by BSL with last stable firmware version and it is used as SBW+ flasher to main board. All target boards have 5-pin SBW+ connection. At the bottom are 5-wire flat cables used for connection between programmer and target devices. SBW+ target device connection pinout is...

AFAIK, all MSP430 FET's working on fixed voltage, and use voltage level translators for interface with targets on different supply voltage. I prefer as simple as possible design, so flasher will work on same voltage as targets without voltage level translators. For example if 2.5V external supply (from target device/board) is used, flasher will run on this external voltage.

 

There will be digitally controlled regulator on flasher board. It will support 2.1V - 3.6V with 0.1V resolution. I made some basic tests, and there is no problem with running flasher on low voltage (2.1V). Example of flashing MSP430G2955 on 2.1V and 3.6V, using flasher digitally controlled regulator...

At the beginning, 2 SBW+ commands were implemented, write and read, so later read was used for SBW+ verify. Program data from all (up to 8) target devices are transferred to PC, and than on PC side, application was making comparison of file data against received data from target devices. Due to SBW+ and USB transfer speed limitation, with full SBW+ bus (8 devices), verify was going down to 100 KB/s.

 

I made new SBW+ verify command that sending data to target device, and than comparison is done on target device. Speed is not depending on number of connected target devices, and it will go up to 220 KB/s. I also made (only for MSP430x5xx, not MSP430x2xx) fast SBW+ CRC that will go up to 2 MB/s.

Changed old (based on SBW+ read, and SBW Quick read) verify switches to "-vr" and "-vrq". There are SBW standard Read/Write Quick commands, so FRAM devices can be flashed using standard SBW connection (TEST / RESET), without extra pin, on lower writing speed, but still faster than MSP-GANG.

At previous page is simple example with CDC - UART bridge and two 2xx target devices. There was only one 4 Mbps UART.

 

There will be 3 firmware edition: basic without bridges, with 2 CDC - UART bridges, and with 2 CDC - Mailbox bridges. In case of 2 CDC - UART bridges, number of target devices will be limited to max 4. After target device release, bridges will be enabled and ready.

 

I made testing with two 2xx target devices connected to both bridges. If system is used just for logging (not full duplex), both bridges together (working in parallel, at the same time) are able to go up to 4 Mbps.

For MSP430x5xx mailbox logging, 2 CDC are available, and 2 MSP430x5xx target devices from total 8 can be selected. If CDC is closed, mailbox is disabled. If CDC is open, mailbox is enabled, and SBW bus is active continuously. Setup is done by CDC baudrate value. Last baudrate digit is used for selecting target device. Baudrate value higher than 65535 is used for 32-bit mailbox selection. Lower value is used for 16-bit mailbox selection. There are less SBW operations per word with 32-bit mailbox, and it is faster than 16-bit.

 

Here is logging example using 32-bit mailbox for target device #1 and #3.

After power-up / reset programmer is in slow mode (-slow) and on board regulator is on minimum voltage 1.8V (-vcc 0). Before switching to fast mode (-fast) voltage need to be increased over 2.0V. Maximum regulator voltage is close to 3.0V (-vcc 15), and step is (not linear) close to 0.8V.

 

Will see about this later, but for now programmer can not work with target devices that have capacitor on RESET pin.
