GANG430.DLL Description

4.1 GANG430.DLL Description
GANG430.DLL communicates with the MSP-GANG430 programmer unit and the connected MSP430
device(s). GANG430.INI must be in the same directory as GANG430.DLL.
The configuration of the MSP-GANG430 should be done with the following sequence.
InitCom
GangEraseImage
GangLoadImage(app.hex)
GangAppendImage
GangLoadImage(bsl.hex)
GangLoadParameters
ReleaseCom
Once the configuration is completed, all process-specific parameters are stored in the flash memory of the
MSP-GANG430 programmer unit.
InitCom
GangSelectBaudrate
...GangMainProcess
...GangGetResult
...GangAccessTargetSFR
...GangProgramTarget
ReleaseCom
The MSP-GANG430 is able to store two different program codes with two different parameters. This
makes it possible to use an MSP-GANG430 both for production test and for final programming of the
target systems. The following configuration will download "test code" to the target system, and after this,
the "final code" will be downloaded to the target system.
InitCom
GangSelectImage(0)
GangEraseImage
GangLoadImage
GangLoadParameters
GangSelectImage(1)
GangEraseImage
GangLoadImage
GangLoadParameters
...GangSelectImage(0)
...GangMainProcess
...GangGetResult
...GangSelectImage(1)
...GangMainProcess
...GangGetResult
ReleaseCom
Several examples showing how the DLL could be used are located in the DLL_Usage_Examples
subdirectory of the GANG430 system. The return codes for all functions are listed in
This DLL could be used separately using the following conventions.
