Stand alone programming software

[zeke 692]

Hi Guys,

 

Recently, I had to find a stand alone program that would give me the ability to program an MSP. This is for the factory floor. They don't want to use CCS on the factory floor, for obvious reasons.

 

In my search, I found others asking the same question.

 

There is the Gang Programmer.

 

Or, you can use the Launchpad in combination with Elpotronic's FET-Pro430-Lite.

 

I think Elpotronic's program is perfect. Give it the hex file and it will program your MSP430 using any TI USB programmer. It's cool that you can use Spy Bi-Wire to program your devices.

 

Hope you like it.

Nice find! Thanks for sharing!

 

I suppose mspdebug with a simple bash script could be used on-line too, it takes hex files and works with most TI USB programmers. But I know your feelings towards free software.

It's more about what the customer thinks. Cheaper is always better. Add simpler to that and it's a winner by a mile!
