Paal 3 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hi guys, awsome forum, have been reading for a while, this is the first post. Although I'm no beginner with electronics in general (did analog IC design for more than 10 years), I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to embedded programming One thing that I've not been able to figure out is what happens to the GPIO's while the flash is being programmed, e.g. on a launchpad. Reason I'm asking is that I don't want to destroy any circuitry that is connected to the GPIO's and that could be driving these while the MSP is being programmed. Doing a lot SW iterations, guess I could call myself an agile developer Regards, Paal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,264 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hmm, very good question. Without any further research I would assume the same as when it's in the RESET state, that is, the pins are in Hi-Z (like input mode). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But would be nice to know for sure, new radio modules take forever to get from from Hongkong to Norway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If SBW / JTAG master execute target device RESET (SBW / JTAG command, not related to changing RESET pin state) then all pins (except SBW / JTAG) will have after device RESET state (input without pulling). SBW / JTAG master also can put target device under SBW / JTAG control and execute target device flashing without RESET command. In this case pin states will be untouched. chicken, spirilis and tripwire 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Frankly I would recommend designing circuits so that no matter the state of IO line nothing will be destroyed/damaged. This is usually pretty easy with digital electronics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
