[ASK] Downloading firmware into new MCU

[astuder]

Hi Handiko,

The files and documentation in the Firmware folder are for the USB version of the dAISy, which is a device that I sell.

The basic AIS receiver documented in the root and KiCad folder of this repository is the foundation of that product, but doesn't support USB. Instead it uses UART to output AIS as a serial data stream. Implementing a USB device would require quite a bit of additional work.

For development purposes I program my MSP430s by using a LaunchPad dev board like MSP-EXP430F5529LP, connecting power, ground, RST and TEST to my own board. TI's Code Composer Studio and UniFlash tool recognize LaunchPads as programmers.

I hope this answers your question. You're welcome to contact me through the email address on my profile page if you have more questions.

Best Regards,
Adrian

Oh, for some unknown reason the email disappeared from my profile. It's now back, a few lines under the profile bio. You must be logged in to see it.

Sorry, just noticed that I now can only use the email associated with my GitHub account instead of an arbitrary email address. 👎

I don't want to publish the former, so I had to remove it again. You can contact me at adrian at adrianstuder dot com.
