Texas Instruments MSP-Gang430 Gang Programmer

[Eng. Salman]

Dear,

I have a labview code to control MSP430 Gang programmer using DLL files and it seems to be Ok but I faced this problem:

when I run the programmer using Labview its running and reply a massege " operation succesful" but when i changed the file name or path it keep giving the same massege !!! i don't know what to do!?

please note that i have followed the same sequence metioned in the user manual of MSP430 Gang programmer.

NOTE: I did not try to programe any board i just control the gang programmer with open end.

Could you please help me to solve this issue!?

please see theattached file.

It sounds like there is a problem with the DLL checking the file itself. Once the string is sent from LabVIEW into the DLL unless you are specifically checking it in your DLL it won't return an error. Does it check the file and/or the file path? This won't work for me because the only error I see is that I don't have the hardware. A workaround would just be to always ensure you enter the correct file and path.

Did you ever find out what the problem was here?

I am also having issues with MSP-Gang.dll - the function to load a codefile does not seem to be responding correctly to the path input...

Has anyone had experience with MSP-Gang.dll?

Hi Winther,

What do you mean by "the function to load a codefile does not seem to be responding correctly to the path input"?

Does the LabVIEW block diagram run correctly? Is there an error given? Like the response above, LabVIEW won't automatically check for a DLL error or exception.

I just figured it out yesterday. My problems where a combination of an error on my part and some odd behavior from the dll.

Most functions I use must be called using the calling convention stdcall but at least one of has to use C - otherwise it will return an error.

Can you post your updated code?

Hi.

I don't have the HW anymore so I can not test it right now, but if I remember correctly the attached example worked.

You will notice that "EraseImage" has a different calling convention than the rest.

Hello,

I´m programming the MSP430 gang-programmer of TI, with the demo of labview that was install with the gang programmer. When I am charging my code to the device, the labview interface (the dll file) prints me an error. This is what it says: ERROR: Verification failed!

I put the GANG430.INI and GANG430.dll files in the correct path, but it doesn´t work. Can someone help me please??
