Got a EXP430F5438 so I can eventually do far-memory work on gcc/binutils. Verified the hardware and MSP-FET430UIF work by using Code Composer on Windows to install and run the User Experience. Now need this on Linux.
Using the current master of the mspdebug repository (ecccfb5), I get: linux[19]$ mspdebug -d /dev/ttyUSB1 -j uif Trying to open UIF on /dev/ttyUSB1... Initializing FET... FET protocol version is 20404000 Configured for JTAG (2) Sending initial reset... Set Vcc: 3000 mV Device ID: 0x5438 Device: MSP430F5438 Code memory starts at 0x5c00 Number of breakpoints: 8 Displaying memory works fine. But I want to load a small test program, and do: (mspdebug) erase Erasing... uif: read error: Connection timed out fet: erase command failed (mspdebug) At that point, I can't talk to the FET430UIF again until I pull and re-insert the USB. When I do, it appears that the flash has been erased. I can then use "load" to program a new application without invoking erase again, but it's a bit inconvenient to have to keep unplugging the FET430UIF between those steps. Any ideas? Thanks. Peter
