However at the time I started my last MSP project, mspgcc & gdbproxy were not quite at the "ready for prime time" state. As the project has a build rate of 250,000+ units per year and was on a tight schedule, I decided to stay with IAR (as much as I wanted to try out mspgcc) and therefore did not have first hand experience with the tools in that situation. In response to the posted question, I was pointing out was that while the JTAG pod could be used with the F11x1 parts, care must be taken with the dual pin usage and that I was ignorant of the details as it applied to gdbproxy. I'm still looking forward to using the tools on the next MSP project and appreciate all of the work you and others have put into making it as good as it is today. -Bill
