in Terminal:
sudo yum install mspdebug msp430-libc
It takes a while to complete, and seems to freeze a couple times for a minute or so (some 5-10 minutes or so total)

In the more recent releases it finally works again - for at least a couple major Sugar releases the redirecting to the Fedora repositories was mangled. i.e.,
* if you do not use the most recent releases of Sugar*, follow this
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OLPC_XO-1#Error_:_cannot_retrieve_repository_metada
Also, those earlier releases only handle MSP430 chips up to the 24xx family, not the more recent 25xx If you didn't have a better reason to update Sugar, this is a good one :-) (even if the newest Sugar doesn't allow for use of the Gnome desktop besides the image...)

Yama and Walter,
Thanks.
I was not as clear as I wanted to be. Arduino (or Energia, an
alternative) would be fine. I was speaking about using mspdebug, which
is purely command line based.
mspdebug is packaged in Fedora so it should be as simple as "yum
install mspdebug" on an XO

I have finally got to work on this.
Are there any GUI tools for the programming, or does it all have to be
via command line?
If you figure out some useful command lines, we could probably make a
TA plugin. (I've not got my hands of the device yet.)

Thanks.

I just bought the TI MSP430 to test it with the Xo 1.0.

Thank you Yama :-)

The TI MSP430 chips are a very attractive alternative to add robotic
options for XO / Sugar users. "Microcontrolers" are the brain behind
many engineering hobby and educational pursuits, but many alternatives
are expensive or very hard to run in the XO.

The TI Launchpad board, with a G2553 microcontroler and an extra G2452
in the box, is available from Texas Instruments for $4.30 USD,
including shipping anywhere in the world (yes, hard to believe).

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_LaunchPad_%28MSP-EXP430G2%29

Here are the instructions for running the Launchpad with the G2452.
Maybe if the next iteratiuon of Sugar uses Fedora 15 we will be able
to use the G2553 as well.

The next release will be based on F-17 but both those packages are
listed. You might want to use one of the test releases based on F-17
that I've released (new one coming soon) to make sure it all works OK
and feedback any issues to ensure we get them fixed for the final
release.
