MSP430_DLL 3_03_001_003

Build date: 07182013

The MSP debug stack (MSPDS) for all MSP430 devices consists of a dynamic link library as well as embedded firmware that runs on flash emulation tools (FETs) such as the MSP-FET, MSP-FET430UIF or eZ emulators. It is the bridging element between all PC software and all MSP430 microcontroller derivatives and handles tasks such as code download, stepping through code, break point handling and so forth. The MSP Debug Stack is used in IDEs such as Code Composer Studio (CCS), IAR's Embedded Workbench for MSP430 or other tools like Smart RF Studio or Elprotronic's FlashPro430.

Included in

CCSv5.5.0.00077

Bug Fixes

Fixed: Magic pattern is not fully functional
Fixed: 0x3FFF when reading upper 16 byte from RAM on MSP430FR5969
After calling the status = MSP430_Reset(..); TST line high
Fixed some preprocessor defines
Improved UART communication stability in no-handshake mode on eZ-FET
Fixed: Could not set device Vcc – COM port blocked by OS
Fixed Cycle Counter reset
Clarified error message for communication error (previously “Could not set VCC”)
Fixed potential timeout of data verification (MSP430F6659 in SBW2)
DLL now returns correct architecture for MSP430F5969 in DEVICE_T
Added main flash segment size to DEVICE_T

Known Issues

Only support for MSP430F5259, but not the full series
On devices with FLL, clock control does not allow to keep clocks running, while the device is halted and the clock is sourced by the FLL. Workaround: None
This MSP430.dll version might not be compatible with revision 1.3 of the MSP-FET430UIF if a capacitor is connected to the RST pin.
