TheDirty 33 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php ... are_Update E2E post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontroll ... 64901.aspx I would suggest waiting. I tried it, got an Error 101 and it looks like mine is bricked now. All it says is to make sure there's a chip in the DIP socket when trying to update again. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mac 67 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I just applied the update to one of my v1.4 LP boards and it's working fine. It programmed a '2452 on the first attempt, like it's supposed to, and the programmed '2452 is running great in the debugger (CCS + Windows 7).

Fe2o3Fish 33 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I ran the "updater" on my v1.3 LaunchPads and it said that they were already uptodate. Weird... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 67 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I ran the "updater" on my v1.3 LaunchPads and it said that they were already uptodate.Weird... So maybe it's updating my v1.4 boards with an older firmware? Hey, as long as it works (grin)... Cheerful regards, Mike McLaren, K8LH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 AFAIK the Update was for a certain range of boards. All 5 of my launchpads would not work with the new 20 pin chips and the update worked on all of them. Now they work with the new chips. That is what the update was for, no?

RobG 1,892 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I have 6 Rev 1.4 boards, none of them needed this update. As I reported earlier, I didn't have any problems with 20 pin chips. Some of my boards did fall in the range of 1009xxxxx and 1101xxxxx, 100909671, but they still didn't require an update. I think they had a bad batch of F1612's (flashed with old firmware) that was used in some of those boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

none 7 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I've posted information on how to "easily" fix a Launchpad with failed firmware update (requires a 3.3 V serial interface, e.g. a 2nd Launchpad): http://forum.43oh.com/topic/4622-recover-the-mps430-launchpad-from-failed-firmware-update/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
