PRGS430.DLL—Description 2.4 PRGS430.DLL—Description The PRGS430.dll is used to communicate with the MSP−PRGS430 hardware and the connected MSP430 device. The initialization of the PRGS430 should be done with the following sequence: InitCom SetDeviceType SetVCC . InitTarget . ... . ReleaseTarget ReleaseCom Several examples showing how the DLL could be used are located in the “DLL_Usage_Examples” subdirectory of the PRGS430 system.
PRGS430.DLL—Description /FN0004/ InitTarget long int InitTarget(char* lpszDeviceName) Initializes the JTAG access to the target device, detects the device type, and reports when the detected device does not match the parameter DeviceName passed. lpszDeviceName: name of the device in file device.cfg Example: lFuncReturn = InitTarget (”MSP430F1121”) /FN0005/ ReleaseTarget long int ReleaseTarget(void) This function performs a PUC and releases the JTAG access to the target device.
PRGS430.DLL—Description Note: For some MSP430 family members, e.g., MSP430F2xxx devices, portions of flash information memory are factory preprogrammed with calibration data. Depending on which method is used for erasing the flash memory, this calibration data may be erased. Should the calibration data be conserved, it must be read out prior to the information memory erase or a flash erase method that does not affect the calibration data memory locations must be used.
PRGS430.DLL—Description /FN0009/ EraseCheckFile long int EraseCheckFile(char* lpszFileName, long int iFileType) This function checks if all memory addresses, which are in the file, are erased. lpszFilName: Name of the file iFileType: FILETYPE_AUTO (0x00) − autodetection of file type (Intel-hex or TI-TXT) FILETYPE_TI_TXT (0x01) − file type is TI-TXT FILETYPE_INTEL_HEX(0x02) − file type is Intel-hex Function returns success or first address with mismatching data.
PRGS430.DLL—Description /FN00012/ VerifyFile long int VerifyFile(char* lpszFileName, long int iFileType) This function checks if the memory contents of the target device are equal to the file contents. lpszFileName: Name of the file iFileType FILETYPE_AUTO (0x00) − autodetection of file type (Intel-hex or TI-TXT) FILETYPE_TI_TXT (0x01) − file type is TI-TXT FILETYPE_INTEL_HEX(0x02) − file type is Intel-hex Function returns success or first address with mismatching data.
PRGS430.DLL—Description wStart: Start address of the range that is to be erased. Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE (see memory map of the corresponding device) wLength: Length of the range Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE (see memory map of the corresponding device) lpData: Pointer to the Data to be programmed Flags: The bits in Flags control the operation of ProgramData().
PRGS430.DLL—Description Note: Use PGM_ERASE_INFO only together with the PGM_WITH_ERASE flag. lpszProjectIni Name of the {project}.ini file, if protection settings from this file are used. If no protection is required, replace lpszProjectIni with NULL. The added features do not need to be used—for ProgramFile according to older specification, just call ProgramFile(FileName, FileType, 0, NULL); if no {project}.
PRGS430.DLL—Description Example: lFuncReturn = ReadOutData(long:0xF000, long:0x1000, void* lpBuffer) /FN0019/ ReadOutFile long int ReadOutFile(long int wStart, long int wLength, char* lpszFileName, long int iFileType) Reads out data from the device and writes it to a file wStart: Start address of the area to be read out. Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE (see memory map of the corresponding device) wLength: Length of the area.
PRGS430.DLL—Description /FN0022/ SetNotificationWnd LONG SetNotificationWnd(LONG hWnd, LONG IMessageID) SetNotificationWnd() enables the status notification of a window. hWnd passes a window handle and IMessageID passes a message identifier. Each time a notification of the status window is necessary, the DLL sends a IMessageID message to the hWnd window. The execution status of an operation is passed in the WParam of this message. Completion status of the current operation is passed (0..100) in the LParam.
PRGS430.DLL—Description DEVICE_MEMDEF (0x07) Fills the definition of a memory definition (index passed by InfoIdx) into lpBuf. DEVICE_MEMPROTECT_COUNT(0x08) GetDeviceCfgInfo() returns the number of memory-protection definitions for the selected device; lpBuf and InfoIdx are ignored. DEVICE_MEMPROTECT (0x09) Fills the definition of a memory protection definition (index passed by InfoIdx) into lpBuf.
