Hi has anyone tried writing to the information memory of the MSP430 with the BSL. I'm trying and failing, I have applied the patch but it doesn't seem to work. Do I need to download the latest BSL? or can you not write to the Info Memory with the BSL commands? Cheers Mark.

what is bsl?
BSL = ootstrap loader- the serial, bitbanged flash programmer. It works well, if a little slowly. And no, I haven't tried it for info memory (the two 128 byte extra flash pages) but I would guess that the problem lies with protection- the BSL uses the program's vector table as a security password, without it you can only erase the whole flash.
