the current version is here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-msp430-tools (or here if you want to look at the source https://launchpad.net/python-msp430-tools/trunk) ihex2titext does not exist in that form anymore, instead there is msp430.memory.convert. running the tool from source (assuming a basic python 2.7 installation from python.org is installed on system): python -m msp430.memory.convert <input.any> -f titext -o <output.txt> (you could also omit -f as titext is the default) in case of a binary distribution, the call is slightly different: msp430-tool.exe convert ... > The problem with > this version is that it generates one contiguous listing for main code > memory, [...] > This seems to crash the Ti USB BSL utility (or crash the on chip > code which > then causes the utility to crash).
