PRGS430.DLL—Description
2-15
Operation
Note: For some MSP430 family members, e.g., MSP430F2xxx devices, portions of
flash information memory are factory preprogrammed with calibration data. Depending
on which method is used for erasing the flash memory, this calibration data may be
erased. Should the calibration data be conserved, it must be read out prior to the
information memory erase or a flash erase method that does not affect the calibration
data memory locations must be used. See the respective device data sheet for further
information on preprogrammed calibration data memory locations.
/FN0007/ EraseFile
long int EraseFile(char* lpszFileName, long int iFileType, long int Flags, char*
lpszProjectIni)
EraseFile() erases all addresses used in the specified file.
iFileType:
FILETYPE_AUTO (0x00) − Autodetection of file type (Intel-hex or
TI-TXT)
FILETYPE_TI_TXT (0x01) − File type is TI-TXT
FILETYPE_INTEL_HEX(0x02) − File type is Intel-hex
Flags:
DISABLE_TI_MEM_PROTECT (0x01)
If this bit is set, the memory protection setting device.cfg is ignored.
lpszProjectIni: name of the {project}.ini file, if protection settings from this file
shall be used. If there is no protection, replace lpszProjectIni with NULL.
Example:
lFuncReturn = EraseFile(”text.txt”, long:0, long:0,
NULL)

/FN0008/ EraseCheck
long int EraseCheck(long int wStart, long int wLength)
Performs an erase check of an area of the target memory
wStart: Start address of the memory area. Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE
(see memory map of the corresponding device).
wLength: Size of the area. Allowed values : 0x0000−0xFFFE (see memory
map of the corresponding device)
The function EraseCheck() simply uses PatternCheck(), with 0xFFFF as
pattern.
EraseCheck(long int wStart, long int wLength)
{
return PatternCheck(wStart, wLength, 0xFFFF);
}
Example:
lFuncReturn = EraseCheck(long:0xF000, long:0x1000)
