4.1 MCU Host Code Introduction

The MCU host demos based on Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) are in the folder

< …\mspm0_sdk_xxxx\examples\nortos\LP_MSPM0xxxx\bsl >

These demos can update the target MSPM0 device through UART, I2C, SPI or CAN. The BSL host demo source code include a target device's firmware in application_image.h file that is converted from .txt image file by a GUI tool in SDK. For more details, see Section 4.1.2. This also includes the BSL password in the main.c file named BSL_PW_RESET array. The target side password is defined in the non-main flash, that is BSL configuration area BSLPW. Figure 4-1 shows a flow chart of the host BSL project.

The host demo can support hardware trigger that pull PA18 pin to high and then do a reset. Or the demo also can support software invoke that just need to send 0x22 command to trigger the BSL.

Note: When use software trigger, the application with software trigger function demo need to be downloaded first.
