Hey folks,
   I've been working with iar for about 3 weeks on this, they said it was a known bug and would be fixed on next upgrade, but I just installed latest update and it still does not work.  At first, we thought this was not a problem for us, as we usually install the release versions via bootstrap loader, but now, the release versions are behaving differently from the debug versions.  It seems the flash memory is not being erased properly, or is written wrong, or both.  Has anyone else seen this?  I am using MSP430F5438A chip and iar full, latest.
 Thanks for your time,
 Mike Raines
