Initialize INFO sections when programming a device [Imported Thread]

Crossworks for MSP430. INFOA is already used for TI device calibration data. It would be nice to be able load the other INFO sections with serial numbers, custom calibration data, constants, etc. when programming the device. This can be done with MSP430flasher, but it would be nice to eliminate that extra step and have this functionality integrated in Crossworks.

Well, I don't think recompiling a locked down released version of firmware for each device programmed would be workable. Thanks, btw, for taking the time to respond to this suggestion.

No there isn't - can you recompile a program and load it?

Right. But is there a way to do it in the IDE outside of the code? For example, I would like to load each device with the same program, but give them each a unique serial number which would be stored in one of the INFO sections when the device gets programmed. Thanks.

#pragma constseg("INFO_B") unsigned char data[4] = {1,2,3,4}; #pragma constseg("INFO_B") should do it.
