A fully open-source implementation exists, it's called mspdebug (http://mspdebug.sourceforge.net/). And the protocol is not a USB one, it's a serial protocol over a USB-to-serial chip (the TI3410). So, all you need is a driver for the TI3410 for your OS, and you're done. baruch -- ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - bar...@tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il -
