7.2 NONMAIN Operation with J-Flash

J-Flash is a flash programming software by SEGGER that allows users to program the internal and external flash memory of embedded microcontrollers (MCUs). Control J-Flash using a GUI (J-Flash) or a command line interface.

To program NONMAIN field, enable the NONMAIN bank and select the erase property to include NONMAIN field. Figure 7-2 shows the NONMAIN operation with J-Flash.

If selecting the manual programming method, make sure the device is not reset before loading the new NONMAIN firmware. If the device resets, the empty NONMAIN permanently locks the device.

Note: TI recommends using the latest J-Flash version for the new MSPM0 device.

To program the NONMAIN only, follow the below instructions:

  1. Prepare the firmware, only including the NONMAIN region firmware.
  2. Select the erase property to exclude the MAIN flash memory: either disable the MAIN flash or select none of the MAIN flash sectors.
  3. Program the device with erase sectors. Only the NONMAIN field erases and reprograms.
