jpxu 0 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi i m new here I work on a project that check the fram and sram of the microcontroler msp430 5969. I use mspdebug to modify the value on this ram. And then i get error message "security fuse blow",how can i fixe it? I can't program neither with ccs nor with energia. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 When the fuse is blown, you can't access the memory anymore, it's a security feature. Usually the fuse can only be blown using a FET programmer. The only way to get communication working again is by taking another msp chip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 IIRC there is some way to recover the Wolverine FRAM chips via a Bootstrap loader sequence or something. I have no idea how to pull it off though. Someone encountered this problem early on with the FR5969 LaunchPad when tinkering with the FRAM. greeeg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @@roadrunner84 Only devices requiring High-voltage fuse blow feature a real 'fuse' I know that the FRAM line is just a software 'fuse' which disabled JTAG access, using the BSL with an unknown password allows you to erase the device, and in the process unlock the device. I believe the really early devices (FR5739) had this problem with mspdebug, since this 'fuse' was located in the interrupt vectors... I had to use a launchpad to enter the BSL and erase the device a few times. I didn't think this was a problem with newer devices. roadrunner84 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Here is example for (un)blowing soft fuse...http://forum.43oh.com/topic/2972-sbw-msp430f550x-based-programmer/?p=43889 With bad (modified) BSL and blown soft fuse it is not able to unlock 5xx/6xx flash device. Soft fuse on new FRAM devices can be unblown by boot code erase command. "Security fuse blow" can be reported by FET (dll) also when device is flashed by bad/wrong code, even fuse value is OK (unblown). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
